Euro 2016 (Football)

[Toro]

Anyways, we are in Paris, and our tickets to Ireland-Sweden were at the hotel.

There is security at the malls in Paris. I certainly hope it's better at the Stade de France than that joke in Marseille.

 

[Lucy Hamilton]

So the UEFA Euro 2016 football begins today in France and goes on until July 10th.

I've started this thread for anyone who'll be following the tournament and wants to comment etc. Myself, I'll attempt to give updates each day.

The opening match is France vs Romania, which France should win. The Romanian's aren't the sort of team they had when Gheorghe Hagi and Dan Petrescu represented that nation.

Here's the UEFA Euro 2016 official website, with the match fixtures.

Good that you've got your tickets.

A friend of ours is commentating for Croatian radio, they texted me earlier to say the security for Turkey vs Croatia at the Parc des Princes in Paris was pretty heavy, even media types like him had to go through full-on security.

Group C.

Germany vs Ukraine at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy in Villeneuve-d'Ascq now on at 9 minutes it's 0-0.

Joachim Löw has Julian Draxler of VfL Wolfsburg in the starting line-up, which is good, he's excellent, can use both feet, he's fast and can hit some killer shots.

Jonas Hector of 1. FC Köln should have scored then, WTF get with the programme already

Germany 1 Ukraine 0 Shkodran Mustafi of Valencia at 19 minutes from a Toni Kroos free-kick.

Shkodran Mustafi is of Albanian-Macedonian Heritage ie. European Heritage

Manuel Neuer having to make some super-human saves, the defence need to pay more attention, the Ukraine could have scored then.

The Ukranian goalkeeper, don't know his name, but he just made an amazing save.

Time played is now 30 minutes.

This is the best match so far, it's end-to-end stuff.

Ukraine nearly scored then, I thought for a moment the ball did go over the line. Jérôme Boateng of Ghanian Heritage (Father) did an amazing and dramatic clearance from the goal line. Boateng's half-brother Kevin-Prince Boateng chooses to play for Ghana.

German defence complete lack of communication with each other, they're missing Bastian Schweinsteiger because of a knee injury, if he was playing they wouldn't be having these problems.

Also they're missing Mats Hummels because of a calf problem.

Ukraine just scored but it's ruled offside.

WTF defence GET WITH THE PROGRAMME!

I want it to be HT already, 4 minutes plus stoppage time to go.

HT Germany 1 Ukraine 0.

Herr Löw in the dressing room needs to shout at them, the defence is a mess, it's a miracle that it's not 1-2.

Thomas Müller and Mario Götze have hardly even done a thing throughout the whole First Half.

Now the SH has begun, it'd better be more coordinated in the defence than the First Half, I don't think I can handle more of that sort of drama.

Germany need to concentrate and get another goal, we don't want it to still be 1-0 and then in stoppage time the Ukraine get a goal.

Not a fan of the Ukraine kit, too yellow and that shade of blue doesn't match the yellow.

Toni Kroos hits about a 25 yard shot that hit's the top corner of the crossbar.

At 56 minutes the Ukranian's have a freekick, Neuer saves.

There needs to be a substitution, bring André Schürrle on or Mario Gómez.

Ukranian substitution at 62 minutes, don't know either player off or on.

Ukranian player yellow carded for foul on Götze.

At 70 minutes I think Thomas Müller got his first touch of the ball in this SH, nothing happened, very disappointing almost non-match he's having.

German substitution at 78 minutes Julian Draxler off and André Schürrle on.

Joachim Löw is wearing a khaki t-shirt, he's got VERY SEXY arms

At 81 minutes André Schürrle had a shot at goal, he should have done better with that.

SH at 86 minutes.

Germany are going to bring the semi-fit Bastian Schweinsteiger on, obvious that they need him in the defence until FT. Probably a smart move, we're getting to the danger level in this match now, where we don't want the Ukraine getting a goal in stoppage time.

Mario Götze off and Bastian Schweinsteiger on.

Stoppage time 90 + 3' they need to just keep the ball and waste some time.

OMG of ALL people Bastian Schweinsteiger goal at 92 minutes, he's only been on the field for 1 minute, his first International Goal also since 2011 and it was a STUNNER.

Germany 2 Ukraine 0.

FT Germany 2 Ukraine 0.

I certainly don't want another match like this, where at any given moment I'm waiting for some sort of disaster to occur.

Very ggood things happen if Toni Kroos go to JM Utd after Silly Season summer 2016 and it is clear with Ibrahimovic free transfer to Utd Utd can go to top of league end of season and takes another Premier league triumfs. It's Utd with JM, Kroos and Ibrahimovic then Martial, Rashford and Rooney in top combination striker position. 4 pcs big stars for Man Utd 16/17 if true with Kroos transfer to Man Utd.

[Tilly]

When are moderate English people going to condemn the actions of the extremists in France ?

Says the troll who has proudly recounted his own history of violence against his 'English oppressors' (lol), who thought the mentally ill preacher who had his head smashed in with a baseball bat should have been hit harder, and who said the female Euro minister attacked with cake should have been attacked with bricks instead. Seriously, you couldn't make it up. Hypocrite. Lol.

Okay tomorrows matches are.

Group D.

Spain vs Czech Republic KO at 3pm at the Stadium Municipal in Toulouse.

Spain to win, I'm not predicting how many goals.

Group E.

The Republic of Ireland vs Sweden KO at 6pm at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis which is about 10 km from the centre of Paris.

This I think a draw.

Group E.

Belgium vs Italy KO at 9pm at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais in Décines-Charpieu or usually just called Décines, it's about 12 km West of Lyon.

Italy to win, I'm not predicting how many goals.

I got all of today's matches correct, all wins for Croatia, Poland and Germany, so hopefully I can repeat this with tomorrows matches.

 

[Tommy Tainant]

Great win for the Germans,loving that Bastian got his goal. He has been outstanding for over a decade.

The German National side s turning into a symbol of a rainbow nation. People of all ethnicity coming together to represent their country.

It is how it should be.

 

[Tommy Tainant]

Meanwhile in Marseilles............................England fans bring their own unique take to International brotherhood by knocking out a French pensioner.

 

[Tommy Tainant]

Showing how two nations who are neighbours are so far apart when it comes to being civilised.

 

[alpine]

Modric had the best goal of the tournament so far.

Germans are as always, solid play.

 

[Lucy Hamilton]

Agreed, the Modrić goal was a complete stunner.

Here is it again.

I got all of today's matches correct, all wins for Croatia, Poland and Germany, so hopefully I can repeat this with tomorrows matches.

Most of this violence is taking place at the Vieux-Port de Marseille, the Old Port of Marseille, this is simply the WORST area of the WHOLE of Marseille in the night time.

Twice already in this thread, I've commented at how disgusting the ACTUAL rioting behaviour is, I also think that the Marseille police are totally pathetic in their non-reaction, just lobbing tear gas at random and spraying some water canon ISN'T the correct way to deal with these situations.

Okay, after a full investigation, let's debunk this garbage about "French Pensioners" being decked by those evil English shall we?

Nobody should be shocked at the latest Propaganda, this time designed to further illustrate some people's intense Xenophobia against our English friends.

Here's a longer version of the video. What I want you to notice first, in the centre of the film, you'll notice an English fan already unconscious on the asphalt, with another English fan attempting to help him.

I want people to keep pausing the below video EVERY few seconds, because I want people to LOOK at who is causing the trouble and WHO is doing the attacking and also the Ethnic appearance of those people....hint, they're predominantly of North African origin, mainly Algerian and Moroccan this being Marseille.

Here's a still picture, you can also see the English fan on the asphalt and another English fan attempting to help him, the African thug at the left is about to be decked, another hooded African thug and a Moroccan or Algerian or some such are running away, but if you watch the below video, they return throwing bottles and missiles.

The so-called "French Pensioner" isn't anything of the sort....and continue to watch until the 17 seconds is up, you'll notice this particular North African gang, one of MANY that the cesspit called Marseille has been plagued with for DECADES, you'll notice as they're running away, they're still throwing bottles and missiles at the English fans.



Here's the same video but in close-up.



This is from 11th June, filmed by two English fans, the video is 1 minute and 43 seconds in duration, it's important, because what it's going to show you are English fans PEACEFULLY sitting at tables, outdoors having a drink and minding their own business....when all of a sudden a ton of Marseille Ultra thugs ALL of North African appearance turn up and for NO REASON WHATSOEVER begin ATTACKING said English fans.

The English fans react by throwing the stuff thrown at THEM back at the Marseille Ultra thugs, the latter as you'll witness begin the crap. What would most people do if a group of lunatics turned up and started throwing glass bottles and chairs at you?

When the police turn up, the Marseille Ultra thugs all run away, no doubt disappearing down the many filthy sidestreets that Marseille has.

The action begins at the 29 second mark.



Here's more, this is from Le Huffington Post, yes it's the French edition of that thing, but it's a compilation of a variety of videos all filmed by witnesses to even more unprovoked attacks on English fans in Marseille.

Again if you notice, it's the same sort of crowd, males with a North African appearance.



This is to give people an understanding of the violent, filthy cesspit Marseille is, a place full of North African drug gangs and characters that come straight out of the Kasbah of Algiers of Henri La Barthe's novel "Pépé le Moko" and the same Kasbah of Algiers of Front de Libération Nationale of the 1950s and 1960s.

This is from the France24 channel and it's presented by François Picard.

The duration of the video is 18 minutes and 57 seconds.

Good for every with pain after they starts fights.
