Euro 2016 (Football)

[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.

UEFA EURO 2016 - Matches - UEFA.com

Edited for spelling error.

Today's matches.

Group B.

Russia vs Slovakia KO at 3pm at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy in Villeneuve-d'Ascq which is about 11 km from Lille.

FT Russia 1 Slovakia 2.

Group A.

Romania vs Switzerland KO at 6pm at the Parc des Princes in Paris.

FT Romania 1 Switzerland 1.

France vs Albania KO at 9pm at the Stade Vélodrome in Marseille.

Group A.

France vs Albania KO at 9pm at the Stade Vélodrome in Marseille.

It's 0-0 at 8 minutes.

Giroud should have scored, Payet free kick, Giroud at close range, should have been 1-0.

I know it's not going to happen, but I'd love for Albania to win this match, both for an upset and also just to give Albania something for once.

Albania are playing pretty good, they're getting in some crucial tackles and are also performing well down both flanks of the pitch.

Albania making it difficult for Anthony Martial of Manchester United to be effective in any way at all.

Now at 45 + 1'

I think Albania have done outstanding this First Half, they've not given France a great deal of room to do any damage.

Pre-match I think most people thought France would be up 2-0 at HT.

HT France 0 Albania 0.

SH just began.

France substitution, Anthony Martial off and Paul Pogba of Juventus on.

At 61 minutes, I think France making another substitution soon, maybe Antoine Griezmann being brought on.

WTF?! Pogba has a shot from half a mile away and the ball hits one of his own players, this suggests the French are getting frustrated, for them to start hitting shots at goal from half a mile away suggests frustration.

At 65 minutes, France had two corners within two minutes, wasted both, Payet's first corner was chronic.

At 67 minutes, Giroud header totally off target.

France substitution at 68 minutes, Kingsley Coman of Bayern München off and Antoine Griezmann of Atlético Madrid on.

Albania substitution at 71 minutes.

The Referee makes a terrible decision to allow play on, when there was a blatant foul on an Albanian player, France could have scored, they didn't, NOW the Referee gives Albania the free kick for the foul. WTF?!

Albania substitution at 74 minutes.

France substitution at 77 minutes Olivier Giroud of Arsenal off and André-Pierre Gignac of Tigres UANL (Mexico) on.

[Tommy Tainant]

Nato is the US military and maybe Turkey. EU armies are jokes. Guys like our Tommy Tainant rendered them incapable of defending the homelands to not to speak of posing a threat to Russia.

That's another thing, Turkey are considered okay, WTF they put journalists in prison for criticising Erdogan, they're slaughtering the brave Kurds, people who are fighting ISIS whilst Turkey's aiding ISIS and purchasing oil off them.

I have an understanding for the Turks because of Kurdish terrorist attacks. But Erdogan is abusing the situation in several ways. Some Kurds seem to be okay but others stab your back the moment you turn around.
Turkey has imprisoned some journalists but also citizens for president insult, which goes up to 5 years and 4 months. Reportedly, a 13 year old was arrested in his class room over Erdogan insult. Erdogan also threatens Turkey´s secularity and liberties. While headscarfs were banned in schools, now it is make-up.

There's the regular, normal Kurds and then there's the PJAK (an ethnic secessionist Kurdish guerrilla group), who Iran have been fighting since about 2003/2004.

Then there's the PKK (Kurdistan Workers' Party) who are affiliated with the PJAK, but operate within Turkey. The PKK are pretty much Communists, Militant Far-Left lunatics, they're the group who commit the terrorist attacks.

Erdogan, who's an actual psychopath uses what the PKK do to target ALL Kurds, so he sends Turkish forces to destroy entire Kurdish villages in a scorched-earth policy, whilst also allowing State Sanctioned torture of other Kurds and the usual murders and arrests of Kurdish journalists etc.

The hypocritical and morally in the toilet bowl EU allows this to happen, ditto the UN, ditto Washington DC, ditto NATO because Turkey's in NATO, which is INSANE that they are, but all these hypocrites they have no problem with it or anything Turkey and Erdogan does....personally I think EVERY sanction that's available should be put on Turkey.

Thousands of normal Kurds, including women, have been fighting ISIS for some time and they've been very effective, they deserve our respect, along with the Yazidis, who are Ethnically Kurdish, they've been fighting ISIS also, despite the Yazidis being openly targeted by ISIS for full-on extermination as "Devil Worshippers"

Erdogan is openly blackmailing the EU, even that piece of filth Juncker basically said he is, in the typical Juncker vague way.

Erdogan wants to recreate The Ottoman Empire, he's mentioned that he does in numerous speeches, he's even referred to himself as The New Sultan, he's a dangerous and unhinged individual.

Turkey isn't the nation of Kemal Atatürk anymore, which is a great tragedy it's not, Turkey's well on it's way to becoming the central focus point of The Islamic Caliphate, which is why we shouldn't consider Turkey a friend, which is why we shouldn't allow these EU Visas for Turks, a nation of nearly 80 million people.

Edited to add comment.

The YPG which is the major Kurdish group in Syria, is the Syrian military wing of the PKK, but it claims it is independent.
The Kurdish autonomy in Iraq is apparently ruled by thugs. It was bankrupt and the fighters got no money and many sold their arms on the black market to buy food. Recently, it received a 200 million USD aid from Turkey.
The Kurdish actions in Syria are murky and they tend to shift alliances. Hopefully, with the SDF, there is some reasonable Kurdish dominated force.

England and Wales fans causing trouble again and attempting to get the Russians to react.

What are the Propagandists with their anti-Russian Propaganda going to say about this?

English thugs and Welsh thugs.

Armed police use tear gas as fans chant 'f*** off Russia, we're England and Wales'

This is footage from Lille.



Here's the same group of English thugs and Welsh thugs trampling on a small Russian flag.



This is also from Lille, this is English thugs and Welsh thugs attacking some Russians for no apparent reason except they're Russian.

Laughable.The English are bad enough and the Russians are worse.Take the blinkers off Adolf.

 

[Lucy Hamilton]

Europe has an agreement with Russia to not to amass troops on the borders. This is why the Nato has funny moving troops over there that permanently relocate to not to violate this agreement. Few know that Russia has still the right to use German air space like its own. They know everything relevant what happens here and if Nato likes to get their new cold war hot and tasty or even prepare for, Russia announced to "neutralize the risk".
It is time for Europe to get rid of that destructive puppet lines that do not only expose us to Islamist terror threats but also hamper European friendship and economies.

Exactly, we agree, did you hear that NATO are moving FOUR more battalions into the Baltics to "counter the Russian threat", WHAT Russian threat?

Washington DC is the only threat and using the Vassal NATO to intimidate Russia, these psychopaths WANT war with Russia, if Russia doesn't allow herself to be taken over by the Global Elite, then they're prepared to deliberately start a war with Russia.

Europa needs to wake up, Russia is our friend, Washington DC which is in the control of the Global Elite has NEVER been our friend, all they want is to control everyone on this planet, including everyone's economies and business, that's what TTIP is all about.

You are an idiot. Russian football, and other Eastern European countries have been a stain on the game for several years now. They have a huge problem with hardcore nazi racist thugs.
Their antics in France are not a one off, I saw it at first hand outside the Rossiya a few years back.

While every country has its nazi hooligans you are focusing on Russians. What´s your point? Your moronic insult is unnecessary, btw.

Because it is Russian hooligans who are at fault here. They are absolute scum. Why do you excuse these thugs ?

Do I? And just because anti-Russian puppet media says the evil Ivan is guilty it isn´t automatically true, by the way.

All the other football hooliganism is condoned, actually they're cheering the English and Welsh football thugs on, it's ONLY the Russians that are a problem.

The anti-Russian Agenda, it's no different than these Propagandist idiots attempting to tell people that Russia's about to invade Sweden or Estonia or whatever, or that the Russian's going to invade America through Alaska,it's all garbage of course.

What they don't understanding is that normal, sensible people are laughing at all this garbage, it's so ridiculous it's laughable and pathetic.

[Coyote]

Let's not let this football thread get derailed into non-sports stuff please - stick to football and football hooligans

 

[Lucy Hamilton]

Oh, this is actually a soccer thread?

It's a football thread and a no name calling thread, I know we have hooligans here, who can't prevent themselves from resorting to type.

 

[Lucy Hamilton]

The what now?

"The what now?"

What does this mean?

 

[Tommy Tainant]

Well the Russians will be going home soon and the civilised people of Europe can enjoy the football.

Shocking scenes. Wales fans attack Swedes.

Group A.

France vs Albania.

The pitch is a mess, on close-up lumpy and bits of turf up.

Albania substitution at 86 minutes, they decided to do this to coincide with a French corner kick, not a good decision to make a substitution when a corner's about to be taken.

France 1 Albania 0 at 90 minutes Antoine Griezmann of Atlético Madrid.

France DON'T deserve this, how tragic for Albania, they've been stunning, and for this to occur in the 90th minute is incredibly cruel.

Now in stoppage time 90 + 5'

France 2 Albania 0 at 95 minutes Dimitri Payet of West Ham United.

FT France 2 Albania 0.

The score doesn't reflect the match, France just weren't very good for 90 minutes and Albania were outstanding in defence and the midfield for 90 minutes.

Austria vs Hungary KO 6pm at the Nouveau Stade de Bordeaux in Bordeaux.

As I said yesterday, with my unfortunate and intense superstition, I'm not making any comment regarding this match at all, we're playing our great friends Hungary, that's all I'm commenting.

We love our Hungarian cousins.

Viva Magyarország.





I might at HT comment what the score is.

Of course we notice the ONLY player who didn't sing "Land der Berge, Land am Strome", why WOULD he's not of Austrian Heritage, not even of European Heritage....he's one of those "tokens" that everyone must "tolerate" for now.

HT Austria 0 Hungary 0.

Group F.

Austria 0 Hungary 1 Ádám Szalai of Hannover 96 at 63 minutes.

That was Hungary's first goal in the European Football Championship since 1972, 44 years and it HAS to be against us, WTF?!

1972 was the last time Hungary got into the Euro's, only four teams used to play in it back then, so that must have been weird, no Group's and straight into Semi-Finals, Third Place match and the Final.

This wasn't supposed to happen, we're ranked 10th in the world in the FIFA Rankings, our Hungarian friends are ranked 20th in the world in the FIFA Rankings.

Our very first International match was against Hungary in Wien on 12th October 1902 and we won 5-0.

Martin Hinteregger goal at 66 minutes disallowed because Dragović has fouled someone and now has been red carded. WTF?!

Now at 84 minutes, I know this is going to finish Austria 0 Hungary 1.

WTF?! I forgot not to make ANY comments, this further reinforces my superstitions about this stuff, so I'll have to take the blame for us losing this strange match.

Total WTF?!

Austria 0 Hungary 2 Zoltán Stieber of 1. FC Nürnberg at 89 minutes.

We've been playing with 10 men for nearly half an hour after the red card for Aleksandar Dragović of European Serbian Heritage

However, Dragović should be taken out and SHOT because Martin Hinteregger did score, but the goal was disallowed because of Dragović fouling someone who I forget the name of.

FT Austria 0 Hungary 2.

This is a shocking result, everyone is shocked already, this is incredible, this doesn't happen....and it's happened.

We've just had 9 consecutive competitive wins and THIS happens.


Edited to add comment.

We've officially congratulated our Hungarian friends, they're our cousins and our friends, we have a rich history with each other.

So there was shock at such a bizarre result, but there was no sadness NOT EVEN ON THE NIGHT, as my comments on the night show there wasn't. So for any of the amoebas out there who thought that there was, stick it up where the sun don't shine

The France vs Albania match was the only one I watched today, I missed the other two as I was doing some other stuff.

Romania 1 Switzerland 1, the Romanian goal was a penalty.

Russia 1, Slovakia 2, Russia are missing several players due to injury, they were terrible against England, so this result isn't that surprising.

The great thing about this result though is, that Slovakia are our friends also and Slovakia are historically linked and allied with our people, so that Slovakia won makes us VERY VERY HAPPY

Viva Slovenská republika.

The national flag of the Slovak Republic.

The Patriarchal cross was brought by St. Constantine and Metodius and it's an old Christian symbol from Great Moravia from the 9th Century (863)

The Patriarchal cross the national symbol of the Slovak Republic.

So there was shock at such a bizarre result, but there was no sadness NOT EVEN ON THE NIGHT, as my comments on the night show there wasn't. So for any of the amoebas out there who thought that there was, stick it up where the sun don't shine

great comedy from you Lucy Hamilton.

I intially misread your comment, now I've reread it, yes I think it's best to be humourous with such obvious tortured souls as they, pity is what they deserve, maybe we should pray to Our Lord and Saviour to ask Him to have Mercy on them for they know not what they do.

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.

So France vs Romania, the opening match kicks off in half an hour from now at 9pm at the Stade de France, Saint-Denis.

Saint-Denis is about 10 km north of Paris, the people in Saint-Denis are known as Dionysiens.

Dionysiens
mean?

"Dionysiens
mean?"

Well the original of course, that would come from Apollonian and Dionysian, a philosophical concept relating to various features of Greek Mythology.

Apollo and Dionysus, both sons of Zeus, and both part of the 12 Olympian Deities.

Apollo is the God of reason and rationality, amongst other things (Music, Poetry, Medicine), Dionysus is the God of chaos and irrationality, amongst other things (Winemaking, Theatre, Fertility)

Saint-Denis is a suburb of Paris, the people from there are referred to as Dionysiens. Saint Denis himself is a Christian Martyr ie. a Saint.

The French spelling of the name Denis, taken from Medieval times with the spelling, is derived from the Ancient Greek name of Dionysius, which itself is derived from the Greek God Dionysus.

So that's why people from Saint-Denis are referred to as Dionysiens.

Riot police charge England fans as fresh violence hits Euro 2016 - as it happened

A total of 36 people have been arrested in Lille following clashes earlier this evening and tonight, according to the the police.

The link is as it all happened, also as it's a Live Feed, it contains all the footage etc from the earlier fighting yesterday in Lille.

Riot police charge England fans as fresh violence hits Euro 2016 - as it happened

This England fan, he does have a nice ass, but it's not the sort of behaviour that should be tolerated.

The English police now in Lille attempting to help the French police, the latter leave much to be desired, all the lobbing of tear gas and water cannons just hasn't stopped anything.

Today's matches.

Group B.

England vs Wales KO at 3pm at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis in Lens.

England to win, Wales have had their one deserved victory, their first in ANY football competition since 1958. Now, we'd like England to smash them, I'm not predicting how many goals.

Group C.

Ukraine vs Northern Ireland KO 6pm at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais in Décines-Charpieu which is about 11 km West of Lyon.

I hope for Northern Ireland to win or at least get a draw.

Germany vs Poland KO at 9pm at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis which is about 9 km away from the centre of Paris.

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

In Russia, with these sorts of violent fans, it's going to be very difficult for foreign fans. Literally they're going to have to be segregated at all times.

We were attacked by the Russians in Moscow about a decade ago.Its nothing new. About 300 of them attacked a Welsh hotel in broad daylight using tear gas and all sorts of weapons. The Moscow police stood back and watched. Its a mental place.

Yeah, but then corruption gets you everything.
