  • Euro 2012 – Group C Preview

    In a different time, this might have been a group of death as well. But in the Euro 2012, Spain seem to be clear favorites while Italy hope that a change of style will erase the embarrassment of the World Cup failure; Croatia are better than their recent results suggest; Ireland rely on team spirit […]

  • Barcelona vs Real Madrid in the Spanish National Team

    When Sergio Ramos lunged at Lionel Messi hoping to stop him or break something, the thought passed my mind for the first time. The Clasico, Barcelona vs Real Madrid, escalating in importance and hatred between the players since Jose Mourinho took over, might come to undo the wonderful team Spain have had for the last five years.

  • Euro 2012 – Group B Preview

    A group of death, like every big tournament needs. The Dutch were part of something similar four years ago, making it in flying colors, just like their qualifying campaign; Germany are the favorites of many to win Euro 2012, but Joachim Low’s squad is far from perfect; Portugal have only Ronaldo to base their hopes on while Denmark will try and shock everyone once again.

  • The Rio Ferdinand – England – John Terry Needless Drama

    Rio Ferdinand out. Despite being in good form all season long. Despite the fact that England’s injuries keep piling up, most recently Martin Kelly. What does Roy Hodgson do? Call up Martin Kelly from Liverpool, who is mostly a right back, without beginning to speak about the ability and experience factor.

  • Greatest Euro Moments in Lego

    Using Lego to recreate magic and memorable moments in any sport is always a good idea. It’s executed brilliantly again while showing England’s failures through years when playing in the Euro, Michel Platini’s incredible 1984 tournament and Greece stunning everyone in 2004.

  • Euro 2012 – Group A Preview

    Group A, consisting of Poland, Czech Republic, Greece and Russia is probably the hardest to predict in the Euro 2012 group stage. Poland relying on their ‘German’ players with a coach known to experiment and surprise; Greece who will probably bore and depress everyone again; the Czech Republic who seem to be impressing no one heading into the tournament; Russia, with an attacking style but with plenty of egos Dick Advocaat needs to handle.

  • Spain’s Euro 2012 Anthem – No Hay Dos Sin Tres By David Bisbal, Cali & El Dandee

    No song from any nation can really eclipse the weirdness/awesomeness of Jarzebina’s tune for the Polish effort in Euro 2012, but not all national team songs have to be that weird. Like ‘No Hay Dos Sin Tres’, sung by David Bisbal, Cali & El Dandee, backing the Spanish team of course.

  • Euro 2012 – Which Clubs Sent the Most Players

    Bayern Munich and Chelsea, the loser and the winner of the 2012 Champions League finals will send 22 players to the 2012 Euro in Poland & Ukraine, with Bayern sending more players (13) than any other club in Europe, followed by Real Madrid with 11.

  • All 16 Squads for Euro 2012

    With 10 days to go, the Euro 2012 squads have been announced. Both hosts (Poland, Ukraine) seem to be underdogs in their respective groups; Germany head into the tournament as the favorites, hoping the rumors about the champions, Spain, are true. We’ve got our group of death (Group B – Germany, Portugal, Netherlands, Denmark) while the English and Italians prepare for another colossal failure.

  • Mario Balotelli – Misunderstood Genius, Racism Hunter

    All the talk recently about racism in the Ukraine and Poland, with some even calling for many fans to avoid the trip to Euro 2012 has put Mario Balotelli in a position to speak his mind about racism and carry on about being a misunderstood genius.
