English and swedish tabloids in war!

First, swedish Aftonbladet posted this suggested frontpage for all the englishmen this saturday.

Haha, that's great.

Daily Mirror replied with:
The main story is probably understood, but the other ones are:
"Is she [Loreen] the lovechild of Humperdinck?"
"IKEA gone bankrupt"
"Shocking! ABBA is actually norwegian!"

Not so funny, should have let The Sun do it.

 

[Funky Papa]

Biscotto = cookies

Yes, I got that, but Del Cookies? Is there any particular meaning behind the phun?

 

[Broder Salsa]

I'm sure he insulted his sister or something.

A lot worse things than a few sister insults comes from footballer to footballer during a match.

Poulsen is a pretty dirty player, no doubt and was not nearly good enough to play for Liverpool or Juve. But he's coming back to Copenhagen sooner or later, so have to clear his name a bit.

Maybe 'biscotto' sounds like Bosque in their language? lol

That's all I got.

Oh, i thought it was international. Biscotto is when two sides agree on a result.

lol . Thats goood stuff.

Should be a good game. Two teams of a similar level going at it. I think I will be nevrous as hell though. I picked a bad week to quit drinking.

Spoiler

I really have

That's what I suspected. Thanks.

It's funny, but I don't see him pulling that

Nope, it's not international. At least not in Spain

He'll fight right in then.

 

[soepje]

I have a question, are there any Dutch around? I wonder how trustworthy "Volkskrant" is? Because apparently they broke news that the racism story last week (black Dutch players targeted by monkey noises) was actually made up. I'd really like to now, as this was one of the incidents I was really ashamed by.

It´s concidered a trustworthy newspaper, but i can´t find any article about it being made up?

 

[Wilbur]

Wilbury isn't here.

Things could still get much crazier.

Yeah seriously is it even in doubt that Totti is one of the biggest cunts in recent Italian football history, including WoodenLung

One the fairplay award like 3 years in a row in Denmark.

Not a lot of people know this, but I'm actually Amauri.

 

[Wilbur]

[Big-E]

Getting too many bad feelings. Italy is playing a lot better than they normally do in the group stage but it still isn't translating to wins. Scoring first both games and then giving up goals is not good.

Photos or we don't believe!

 

[wakajawaka]

Where the Spanish fans at?

They where outnumbered 4 to 1, it was the only match where spanish fans could not get tickets. Irish fans confirmed godly. Hope they support us the rest of the tournament!

Edit: I would love to watch some Irish singing vids of today.

 

[Joel Was Right]

Xavi top for Spain with 133 passes, overall 894. Ward top for Ireland with 41 passes, overall 317. Shay Given fourth in Ireland's passing list.

8(

At least neither he or Dunne got injured. Come home lads. Time to get ready for next season.

Edit:^ Well played

Italy qualify if they beat Ireland and:

a) Spain-Croatia does not end in a draw.

b) Spain-Croatia ends goalless.

c) Spain-Croatia ends 1-1 and Italy win by at least two clear goals (excluding a 2-0 result).

 

[RaGe_pt]

Ahaha awesome!

 

[keit4]

Torres > CR7 confirmed

 

[Clydefrog]

you could just as easily post Torres getting owned by Buffon 1v1 in Spain's first game

 

[Funky Papa]

Why do you hate fun, Clydefrog?

 

[Broder Salsa]

:'(

 

[Vivalaraza]

Roy Keane is a negative and bitter prick.

Incredible player but a twat.

 

[Clydefrog]

Why do you hate fun, Clydefrog?

i haven't gotten laid in a while

6 minutes of Fields of Athenry

Awesome. Think it actually started before the 87th minute mark, but still cool.

 

[Johnny Cage In The Shower]

:'(

 

[Fry]

:'(

Don't kid yourselves, Torres only plays like that wearing red

hihi

 

[Regulus Tera]

Great little article regarding the English national team:

“See how we trick Ribery and Nasri into thinking they have the upper hand by allowing them to hold the ball for minutes at a time!”

“Ah, the talent of Milner! If not for the fortuitously positioned French Fullback, Welbeck would have rose like a salmon to dispatch his glorious cross!”

Not as stupid as it sounds!

 

[Wellscha]

Serious question, what the heck happened to Torres?

Did he tear a ligament or something?

He used to be the best in the world.

He had some injuries a couple yrs ago, but I think its mostly mental block

 

[bjaelke]

This chart should come in handy this Sunday:

World Cup 2010. He had been in decline before that, but the tournament was definitely a huge factor.

He needs to be lone striker in teams, he doesn't play well when paired with another striker. wasn't he a lone striker at liverpool?

spain today played a 4-2-3-1 I think.

 

[Chuckie]

"Shocking! ABBA is actually norwegian!"

That's actually a little bit true.

6 minutes of Fields of Athenry

Awesome. Think it actually started before the 87th minute mark, but still cool.

You know, I don't especially like Tom Bartels, but he knew to mostly shut the fuck up during those last minutes. I imagine most other commentators just talked straight over it.

That's unfortunately how it happened here. "Beautiful show from the Irish fans but here are some interesting statistics about the pitch size that I just have to share with you for the next five minutes." Really enjoying this youtube video right now. I hope they'll show up with the same spirit against Italy despite already knowing their fate in this tournament.

ITV's commentators also talked for the majority of Fields of Athenry: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xrjfbx_the-fields-of-athenry_sport

 

[Hammer24]

I tip my hat to the awesome awesome irish fans!

Last night when I watched the game and saw her I thought to myself: This is perfect gif material. I wonder if i'll see it posted on GAF tomorrow.


I was not dissapointed

 

[Divius]

:'(

 

[Kem0sabe]

Fucking Ronaldo, complained at half time to the rest of the team "I only got the ball 3 times!" within earshot of a journalist.

Maybe he should run after the ball a little more :|

 

[Salazar]

The memories that Torres choke gif brings back.

God bless realtime futbol-GAF comedy.

 

[Cindres]

GAF, I'm working from 6 tonight. Missing the fucking England game

But I need the money, can't be helped.

 

[MrSerrels]

I'd like to thank all you guys -- this thread almost makes up for the chronic lack of Euro 2012 tv coverage in Australia. Almost.

 

[Arjen]

Only able to watch the first half of the first match tonight
Hope Ukrane will be beasting again tonight.
