HEY ALL
Is anybody else watching Eurocup?! I didn't see another thread about this on the front page so I decided to post this!! I'm FREAKING out over an England win just earlier!! (I'm supporting England). Which team(s) are you rooting for?? Who do you think will win? I'm like praying England can survive Italy but I'm pretty intimidated :silly: cause Italy is so good. It's just that England loss in the Worldcup was like...
:whoa: :stressed: :yikes: :enraged: :jealous:
BASICALLY - HUMILIATING (England v USA don't speak of this)
Eurocup main page: http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuro/index.html (http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuro/index.html)
So, is anybody else watching??
EDIT: Also, USA can watch the Eurocup on ESPN (http://espnfc.com/us/en (http://espnfc.com/us/en)). Main ESPN and I think ESPN2. For example today, England v Ukraine was on ESPN and France v Sweden was on ESPN2.
-
Not really my thing but good luck to your team!
-
After the Netherlands played so horrible (I am ashamed :blush:) I now hope England or Germany will win!!!! :cheer:
-
Good luck to all your teams!
-
I've never really keep on it, not a big sports fan. :)
-
Oooh someone else is watching EURO's too! I love footy, always get really excited about euro's and try to watch every game I possibly can!! :happy:
I'm rooting for España, I've always been 'their girl'. Just admire their team so much and just really enjoy watching their games!! :)
Very glad tho that England is now trough to the next round, Rooney's goal was well deserved! Good luck for them too!! ^.^

:frolic: Yahoo! I'm glad someone else is watching!! (But thanks for the wishes everyone!) Spain is so good... England is going to have to play better if they want a chance... I'm expecting Spain to get high up :accomplished: They are just so good!!
Germany v Greece is coming up...I was thinking that Greece might have a hard time, but then again, a Greek win might help that country get confidence, you know how it's been so rough with Greece and the Euro...
I think Spain will probably win against France but France can be really good when they want to...I dunno if the can beat Spain! :silly: Good team to root for :biggrin: Haha when you root for a team that doesn't win very much you have to be able to laugh at yourself. I don't know too too much about all of the teams so... I just love watching football I get so crazy psyched up... :biggrin: The start time is around the time I am in the gym on the cardio machines and I can watch it on the little TVs. When England was playing last and it looked like Ukraine was about to get it in I knocked my book & book holder right off the machine and was like 'GASP OMGS!!! whew...oh man...oh man...' and everyone was staring at me...Lol!
-
I´m sporadically watching (am really busy right now). I was (as always) rooting for Denmark but since they´re out, England is my favourite now :) and I *really* hope they beat Italy!
so yes, let's join our cheering forces to get England to the finals :cheer:
-
I'm watching too (to Aflames discust, she hates it, lol). Come one England! Hope they beat Italy. They've done better than I thought so am happy. Can't see is getting past semi's if we beat Italy though, especially if it's Germany like it's likely to be. But that would still be a great result since we have a fairly average squad at the moment.
-
I haven't watched any yet, as I can't seem to find what channels they are featured on in the US, and I think you have to pay to watch the games. :c
But I have been keeping up, and I'm rooting for Germany, as usual. :P
-
Careful boy, your stomping on some very sensative territory ;)
Around these parts, euro and fifa cup are a huge deal, and people are very passionate about the teams that they originate from.
For us, if Italy looses on sunday, it will be a discrase worse then their showdown 2 years ago. We are also part German so the family has some very high expectations for todays game.
-
Am I watching Euro 2012? Of course I do. I have not other choice, I mean, part of the whole event takes in my own country after all, lol. :D :D
As for who's going to win... I don't know. Yeah, I kind of suck at making predictions when it comes to football. XD
One thing I'm kind of sad about (besides our team's loss, but I guess that one was our fault), is that all the foreign fans have already left my hometown, and that there'll be no more matches played here. :( I especially miss the Irish folks - they're such fun people. :) :3
-
I don't really care because I hate football, but ! I am rooting for Portugal deep down, of course~ ;)
-
Nope not watching, I don't like football but worst of the worst in Ukraine they killed many many dogs and cats for the damn cup...so nope, sorry but I am just disgusted and I promised and subcribed to not watch the cup...
If you are sensible don't read

-
I thought that activists got them to put a ban on killing of strays! I just read the title of the link you posted (will not be opening it, thanks for the warning), does that mean they completely ignored the ban?!
I´m just starting to hate all these big events, world cups, olympics, eurovision. They are all just in the name of trivial fun and yet so many suffer... I think i´ll join you in you boycott now :(
-
Congratulations to Germany on their 4-2 win!
Also WTF I have never even heard of that about the dogs!! I love animals and I can't believe they would do something so awful!! I have heard of this happening in other cities too and for other things like the Olympics etc.!! Omgs how horrible!! How could anybody hurt a dog?!
-
Let me simply state that it is infuriating the living crap out of my mother. XD
Father has almost every match on when he is not working. The man is also half deaf, so I'm sure you can probably hear it anywhere in the house.. or next door..
I am glad that some of you can enjoy it, though. :silly:
-
Ahhhh Xabi did so well last night was sooo proud of him, it was amazing!! Go España :lovey:
Not too long to go til the finals.. Last game in a week, it always feels like they end way too early! But still, I'm very excited to see what's gonna happen.
I was almost rooting for Greece in that game they had with Germany, just because I never would have guessed they'd be so good! But yep, Germany's got a pretty fit team too. I actually predict that it might be the same finale as the one they had in Euro's 2008. Spain versus Germany.. But you never know and I hope Germany won't be in the last game!!
Also, very excited about tonight's game too I really really wish England will win! :) It would be so good for them. But we've gotta see. Hope Italy won't fake too much :P I don't Italy at all, hope England will beat them!
We'll know soon enough ^_^

You can watch the games in USA on ESPN channels. ESPN and ESPN2 I believe it was. If you put in "eurocup 2012" in google and Search, it can display the most recent and upcoming results, and I think it should list your timezone times so you know when they are on. So if I do that it will say the time 'ET' (my timezone) so probably it will work for you too!
@ moomargh - I know what you mean I could have gone either way on Germany/Greece!! Greece got in those 2 goals there by the end, it was intense. I had thought Germany might get the upper hand too, but Greece went down fighting.
I know I'm just gonna die if England loses lol... :yikes: I want to believe!, but Italyyy....arghhhh I'm not sure if England can hold out! :drunk: STILL I CAN HOPE
-
I always kind of root for Portugal (Scotland never even get into the competition lol:)) because when we were kids our class did a draw and we all got assigned a team and the person with the team that won got a prize. I got Portugal. I think Brazil won that year but I've been supporting Portugal ever since;)
-
My husband and I have been trying to catch every game we can. Go Germany! I :heart: Ozil!!!
And to anyone in the US, you can watch all the games on ESPN's site. They are shown live and can also be watched archived. You do not have to have a subscription or cable.

Reminder to stay on topic please! Id hate to have to lock something innocent <3
As far as you 'Italy haters' go, ill be sticking my tongue right out at y'all. Im sorry, but if Italy looses they will have a harder time with their own people then the team that beat them. We are hard core ;)
England isnt really known for football..atleast, not to me. IMHO, they should be able to wipe the floor with them, but after the discrace 2 years ago im not sure what to think.
They better have woken up.
-
Ahh this game is gonna be a long one! So funny to watch it, both teams have missed quite a few changes o: They've both made so many mistakes awww. Still rooting for England tho I must admit that Italy's been better in this game!
Hehe and sorry I don't really mean to 'hate' on anyone, Italy just isn't one of my favorites :) But they are playing pretty well in this game, I have to admit that.
Would be pretty cool to see if this game goes all the way to the penalty kicks! :P Would be fun to watch.
After this game two days off and then it's Portugal vs. Spain. Which one would you like to see in the finals? :)
-
Well now, this should be interesting.
Im still mad it went to the shootouts (come on, wake UP!) but now they are paired up against my other background country.
Our house will be split down the center. Again.
This is going to get messy...
-
Oooh, there's a 2012 Euros thread on the Arena. Nice. I've read the thread briefly and saw that Italy needed some support. Here it is! My first team is Sweden since it's my country but my adopted team is Italy. Yesterday was a good day for me. :) I didn't want it to go to penalties but it turned out very good after all. My no.3 team is Portugal and my no.4 team is Spain.

English are something like the inventors of football.
I'm not really into any sports, but when national team plays on such events I always cheer. Too bad we didn't get into quarterfinals :huh:
-

You may very well be the first person I have ever heard say that :silly:
Now that England's out, there probably won't be much watching anymore. I'm curious to see who will win though. I only pay really close attention when the World Cup is active, heh.
-
Yeah, the worldcup is huge and is what really brings everyone out^^ Euro cup, there will still be flags on cars and homes but I dont forsee quite the scene that would happen with the finals of the world cup. Then again, ive been wrong before :)
And guys, that was just a personal statement--what I see, from where I am. I dont know the actual history behind things and it wasnt meant to bring anyone down <3 Im a just a typical person who has a family tradtion to watch and cheer on my root countries
-
Agreed!
And don't worry, my comment wasn't serious/angry. At least, it wasn't meant to sound that way :silly:
-
Ahh viva españa! :lovey:
What a game :) I almost worried they wouldn't make it! Yay for Iker, he's such a good goal keeper!
I'm pretty sure now that it will be the same teams in the finals that it was in Euro 2008. Would be quite funny. Germany has been pretty tough this year so I'm a bit worried, but still trust my team fully.
Germany vs Italy tomorrow. I think I know who's gonna win :) Any guesses?
-
I'm hoping and rooting for Italy - my adopted team.
-
awww! the germans lost :(
they weren't as lucky as the italians :huh:
lol - but today there will be no firework to scare me at our place :P
-
England isnt really known for football..atleast, not to me.
But I still alwaysss roooot for theeemmmmm :drunk: ENGLAND...arghhhhhh
ETA - And yes they pretty much invented football to how it is today...SO WHY ENGLAND, WHY :yikes: Oh well, I'm always rooting for you, even when you let me downnn :stressed:
-
Owww Heliodor I'm so sorry they didn't make it :( I really didn't enjoy watching Italy beat them... And then beat Germany yesterday.
I really like England's team too, wish they had brought their game up a bit :/
Now just really waiting for Sunday... Spain must win. :P
:hope:
-
I really hope italy will win - it's no fun to have the same winner 2 times in a row (3 if you cound the World cup too)!!!
-
That was a pleasent surprise. Yesterdays game was win-win for me however it would have went but I was honestly expecting Italy not to wake up and fail. The predictions are all down the drain it seems, everyone was saying Germany would take the cup this year.
So now im all Italy better win or ill kick that teams back end to the other side of the ocean. I think the people around here agree..there was a massive about of flag waving, car honking and celebrations yesterday after the game..and it wasnt even the final!
-
Awww... While Spain was obviously the better team I was a bit disapointed that Spain won. It'll be nice to see another country win again!!!
Congratulations, Spain :)
-
I can't say I was surprised that Spain won. My favourite thing about "the game" was the close up of Buffon putting in his bobby pins. I love them.
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
This is from the semi-final though.
-
Hehe... Well I think you all know how happy I was last night and how happy I still am. Obviously Spain just was.. pure awesomeness. Can't help but love my boys sooooo much.
Go La Roja! .... :lovey:
