Re: Euro 2008
 

Spain would love to see win it, but they never do, beats me.:confused:

Re: Euro 2008
 

I'd like to see Croatia win it, then we can say we lost out to the eventual winners :D

Re: Euro 2008
 

Poland. :D

Re: Euro 2008
 

Would like to see Croatia win it because they always seem comfortable with the ball and play good football.Sadly think France Or Italy will win it.

Re: Euro 2008
 

Don't really care now that theres no home interest, think I'll take up knitting instead:D:rolleyes:

Re: Euro 2008
 

Well i couldn`t chose one so i did a pull one out of the hat and follow whoever it was, and i pulled out Greece so i`ll be routing for them, but i think Croatia could be in with a good chance, but i suspect it will be one of the favourites that will win it.

Re: Euro 2008
 

Spain to win.

Re: Euro 2008
 

If I was having a bet at the bookies I think my money would go on Portugal.:)

Re: Euro 2008
 

i'll give ya better odds than the bookies on them mt.:D

Re: Euro 2008
 

I tried watching the 2 games today, but just couldn't summon the level of interest required to keep watching. I think I'm tired of football.

Re: Euro 2008
 

Have to agree a little TM concerning the First match, kept flicking over and watching Dads Army:eek:

Enjoyed the second one more, although I wanted Turkey to win

Thinks it could be a pick and a choose philosphy for some games

Re: Euro 2008
 

Agree TM,what with Norwich boring the wotsits off me all season the Mancs winning the double and now this, all i want is some sunshine so i can sit in the garden and forget about football for a couple of months.

Re: Euro 2008
 

It would be nice for spain to win one, but realism says croatia.

Re: Euro 2008
 

I managed the first one TM but I lost the will to live after that and desided the movie channel was the better bet:rolleyes:

Re: Euro 2008
 

watched em both n am convinced all 4 sides would have beat us, or rephrase- we would not beat.:(

Re: Euro 2008
 

Germany or Russia.

Re: Euro 2008
 

Hmm, both teams still there and Turkey next for Germany!!

Re: Euro 2008
 

Trying to watch the Russia vs Holland game, but the picture on ITV is absolute rubbish. Added to that, ITV aren't providing a HD transmission for some strange reason.
The Portugal game was equally poorly transmitted too, plus I had David Pleat talking crap.

ITV should be banned from covering sport until they can prove that they can do it properly!

Re: Euro 2008
 

im having no problems tin :|

Nice Score atm ;)

Re: Euro 2008
 

Hell of a game 1 - 1

Re: Euro 2008
 

Extra time being played..............Holland 1 Russia 1

Re: Euro 2008
 

proves the minds of the 2 managers

Re: Euro 2008
 

Result..........Russia 3 - Holland 1 After extra time

Re: Euro 2008
 

It depends what you're watching on. Other forums are filled with posts about the poor quality of ITV's picture.

Re: Euro 2008
 

All group winners out so far :confused:

Re: Euro 2008
 

Great game today, I think Russia just about deserved to win but both teams gave it their best shot.

Re: Euro 2008
 

thought russia were best by a mile, n i wanted holland.

Re: Euro 2008
 

Probably depends in which part of Darkest Lancashire you live TM, my ITV picture in Ossy is okay, yet Channel five is awful and I can get it on freeview either, if I want to watch Five I have to use Sky

Re: Euro 2008
 

Reception over here is great, it,s on two channels, no ads and English commentators. So who,s going to get the final semi spot? I think Italy will scrape through but don,t care as long as it,s not a boring affair, or should I say game, I don,t think there is such a thing as a "boring affair"!!!

Re: Euro 2008
 

I haven't used terrestrial for a long time, so I can't comment on it. I always watch through digital satellite, so locality isn't really important. If I compare the ITV quality to tonight's BBC offering, then it's like night and day. It's all to do with the quality of the ITV transmission.

Re: Euro 2008
 

A rubbish game but glad Spain went through, at least it will make a better semi.

Re: Euro 2008
 

Oh sorry TM I thought you were on about the picture not the presentation, must say I agree with you on that score, I'd rather have BBC or Sky Sports anyday

Re: Euro 2008
 

I was talking about the picture quality. ITV have actually admitted that their transmission quality is poor via satellite compared to BBC and other stations, mainly due to the amount of channels they have coming through a limited amount of space. With 4 ITV channels (plus regional variations), plus all those pointless +1 channels now too, the bitrate of their transmission is reduced. Thankfully the BBC have the final tonight, so I won't have to watch any ITV again until the World Cup in 2 years time. :D
