Rosický is in the czech squad as captain after only appearing once for arsenal all season
Why did I put Nolito in my fantasy team.
Hope we get a few more goals today, yesterday was a bit of a shitfest.
Yeah it was shit. I thought Turkey v Croatia would be a goalfest, but it was crap.
I've finished my job early today so will be back in time to watch the Spain game.
I'm in the office today, but I'll have the game on one of my three monitors.
The only games I've watched so far have been France and England. Sad times. I'll probably catch Belgium v Italy tonight, which should be a good one, although I don't really want either of them to win.
The only game I've missed is Germany v Ukraine. Bloody E3. Ubisoft's clashing with Belgium v Italy.

Personal message from wayne and woy about the violence. Cant embed the link.
Woy should probably be more worried about the team expelling itself rather than UEFA/the fans.

Ten people - six Britons, three French and an Austrian - face an immediate trial, Marseille prosecutor Brice Robin said.
Czech Republic: Cech, Kaderabek, Sivok, Hubnik, Limbersky, Darida, Plasil, Gebre-Selassie, Krejci, Rosicky, Necid.
Spain: De Gea, Juanfran, Ramos, Pique, Alba, Busquets, Iniesta, Fabregas, Silva, Nolito, Morata.
Rosicky and de gea stating.
Holy shit what timing. Kettle on.
Holy shit Tomas Sivok legendary DMC from FM05?
Did the Czechs manage to replace that giant shithouse Koller with an equally big shithouse? Doesn't look like it. Target man play.
this is well boring
It is, the Czechs are offering fuck all in the way of opposition and it's just really a matter of time before Spain shit their way to a goal and then keep possession. Another boring set of 1-0s or 1-1s today.
Watching Spain is like playing against the AI on FIFA 16 on highest difficulty. After a while you just want to lob your controller at the screen / strangle someone.
aye. the combination of turgid , un-dynamic possession football and the fluency teams lack from not playing together all year round like ya do in club football is making this tournament a bit of a slog so far. i also reckon the fact you can qualify for the 2nd round with 2 points or whatever the fuck is making teams try less hard and focus more on not losing. bollocks.
Yeah what's that all about. I don't remember that from last time, surely top two or fuck off tbh.
Italia 90 had the same format and had the worst football ever. Not sure about USA 94, but it's an awful format, particularly in a tournament like this with very little diversity amongst the teams.
any tournament where more teams qualify for the next round than don't qualify is automatically fucking stupid.
Lee Dixon's been a laugh though.
The Czechs having their first shot.
What a fucking shit half that was.
Time to discuss surprisingly not annoying pundits: Ray Wilkins and Ian Wright.

Might just watch the counter on that instead of the second half.
I fucking hate Spain.
Tournament needs a really good game or massive moment to get it going. World Cup had Spain getting smashed in the third (?) game
Lee Dixon really should be commentating on Sunday league. I'm afraid: "You need to stretch a team both ways and play it in the hole" really doesn't cut it when you're describing how to play against Spain.
Dixon even makes plays on words utterly boring and unsatisfying. He's such a direcunt.
Moratta as a focal point is why these lot won't make the final.
Jesus Christ, someone please at least attempt a run in between the lines. This is terrible.
Shots are further and further out. Desperation starting to kick in.
Alejandro Moreno on ESPN has been really fantastic. Very astute commentary.
Spain are upping the pace a bit now, at least. Though since bringing on Aduriz they seem to have become even more narrow in attack, if that's possible.

Hero.
"If you could have a superpower for a day what would it be? Invisibility? Maybe you could fly? I would be Iniesta...just for five minutes though, just to see what he's thinking. What's going on in his head"
I'd love the Czechs to steal this. Getting tired of this shit.
I'll piss myself if the Czechs score. Fuck off Spain.

Maybe the worst of all possible outcomes.
