The Euro 2012 Thread

[Cyklops]

Oh man, what a match last night! =D

Chelsea duo sealing the deal in the end, was just icing on this amazing cake. Spain for life!

Can't wait for the Confederations Cup now. Really want to see Spain vs. Brazil and Spain vs. Uruguay. Those are going to be some amazing matches.

Oh and one last thing:

Euro league is the European football league, just like the FIFA world cup, it has its own league, and same with the club football teams.

[Naxi]

This sure was an unexciting cup.

^ The tourney in general, was meh. ^

Still disappointed with the Dutch.

[spyrde]

Meh, once Chiellini, Cassano and Thiago Motta went off the pitch I knew all hope was lost.

[Nitey]

That was a great game. What a way to make history from Spain... that first half they were mindblowingly good. Italy couldn't live with them. They were playing exactly like Barcelona which they hadn't done all tournament. Saved the best for last I guess :P.

Jordi Alba is just O.O What a signing for Barca. Pretty much everyone pulls their own weight in that Spain team, fully deserved.

I think Germany would have put up a better fight than the Italians but it just wasn't to be. Felt for Buffon and Pirlo. Massive congratuatlions to Italy though, I didn't even give them a sniff before the tournament started but they got better and better. One game too far though.

neither the world cup or the euros are a league. its a knock out tournament.

[Suley]

Arbeloa doesn't belong on the team, he's just so mediocre.

Tournaments are in leagues... Every league has its own tourney...

For there to be a tournament, there has to be a league to play in it, the European league has the European tournament, and the FIFA cup is pretty much whoever makes it from the different leagues, there are the Club league Tournaments also, so therefore, if there is to be a tournament, there has to be a league behind it. Make sense now? Idk how else to explain it...

[T0PGUN]

I'm not American... I live in America now because of my mom's job that moved us over here a few years ago lol I was born in the US also, but lived in Spain for maybe about 15 of my 18 years so far. Went to every Spain game possible, so yeah.

Well I'm just saying there has to be a league for there to be a tourney! Because if there isn't a league (which is made up of the different teams) where would we get the teams to play in a tourney?

Ok, look. Usually, in league football, there are a number of teams (usually 18/20/24) that play each other home and away over the course of a season (9 months).
Now,unless you have got confused with wordings, the international tournaments (european championships/ world cups) have what are called qualifiers (usually 6-8 groups of between 6-8 countries) and yes, i guess they are a kind of league system of matches BUT they are NOT called the European Leagues.

Okay, well I was just saying there have to be leagues for there to be tournaments, thats basically what I have been trying to say! But when I lived in Spain, every time the Euro Tourney would come around there were things that you could vote and it would advertise saying "Pick your Favorite Euro League Team and win (whatever prize chosen)" So thats why I was saying Euro Leagues

[T0PGUN]

there is the european champions league, the europa league but they are for club football,not international
