Why bother hating teams?
Man, I just like football and leave it at that.

you have to hate Switzerland, though. nazi gold, boring football, always being drawn against Ireland for some of the dullest matches of all time. sure their chocolate is delicious and they have some lovely alps, but fuck them.

Agreed. Up your Swiss, Red Tape Menace!

I don't hate any of the teams though. I have a mild dislike for Portugal and Switzerland.

There are some great high quality clips of Yugoslavia 3 Spain 4, Italy 1 France 2 at Euro 2000 and USSR 0 Holland 2 from 88 here http://www.footytube.com
for anyone bored in work. Euro 2000 was such a great tournament.

I'd forgotten how good the Yugoslavia Spain game was. Amazing.

 

[Cormcolash]

That Yugoslavia Spain match is one of my favourite games of all time. Totally amazing end to end stuff.

I just watched the highlights of Portugal-England from Euro 2004. I'd forgotten that Ricardo took the last peno in the shootout straight after saving from Vassel. Class.

straight after saving from Vassel.

well, now...

well, now...

yeah, he should've gone for the cheeky chip.

Those Adopt A Footballer ads on the radio are chuckle-worthy.

he should have said to sven "are you fucking joking? i'm shit!"

but then, sven wouldn't have had much of a squad if honesty were our currency.

Because some teams are utter cunts. Turkey for example or Israel.

Vassell's penalty was woeful. The class bit is that Ricardo rubs salt into the wound by showing him how to take a spot kick and sends England packing in the process.

becjham chipped in too, you'll recall. twice, if i'm not mistaken. best five minutes of that tournament for me were england france game. gas stuff.

Beckham's penalty against Portugal was so funny. Chris Waddletastic. You think he would have learned his lesson in the Turkey game.

he looked back at the penalty spot very accusingly. it'd be amazing if he just started thumping the spot and crying "THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!!". stupid john terry I mean beckham.

 

[Luther Blissett]

Not forgetting Gerrard's suicidal back pass which led to France winning a peno and Zidane scoring his second. Good times all round.
