Euro 2012 - Day 9

Day 9

Group A - Game 17
16/07/2012 19:45pm - Wroclaw

Vs

Group A - Game 18
16/07/2012 19:45pm - Warsaw

Vs

Russia qualify with a draw
Czechs will qualify with a draw only if Greece fail to win
Poland qualify if they win
Greece qualify if they win by 2 or more goals

Think I've got that right but UEFA's crazy rule changes make it complicated​

 

[SEMM]

No idea which match to watch today. Greece V Russia seems to be a forgone conclusion at this point, but at the same time it wouldn't be the first shocker at this tournament.

Poland V Czech Republic will most likely be the better match with Poland needing a victory thus probably attacking. Yeah, will probably flick between the two matches.

 

[Loveless]

Poland/Czechs seems to be the important game and it'll certainly be the game with the better atmosphere. At the same time, Russia have been entertaining and should destroy Greece.

 

[MCMG]

Desperate for Poland to go through. Really want the hosts to do it and I reckon they will. Russia will qualify no doubt. It may be embarrassing for Greece.

 

[Loveless]

This is going to be fun for me trying to monitor both games

 

[SEMM]

Watch one on the BBC Website and the other on TV?

 

[Loveless]

Football is banned on my family TV.

 

[SEMM]

Fair enough. That's what I'm doing. Don't want to miss one.

 

[Loveless]

It's fair, I got an X-Factor ban in return.

 

[Loveless]

Gah Lewandowski should have scored

 

[Loveless]

How many chances do Poland want?
Interestingly, Poland finishing 2nd in the group would likely end with them facing Germany. Look forward to the atmosphere in that one.

 

[Loveless]

Oh dear, here comes the thunder.

 

[Loveless]

This ref is going to help Poland as much as he can

 

[SEMM]

How are both these matches still 0-0? Poland have had many chances. Not really been watching the Russia match though, so don't know how they've been doing.

 

[SEMM]

GREECE!! Fucking hell.

Russia & Greece to qualify*​

*Somehow, I'm not sure

 

[Loveless]

Poland have been awful this half. No chance without improvement

 

[SEMM]

Czech's one up. No idea how to spell that name.

Czechs & Greece to qualify​

 

[SEMM]

Brozek on Russia out as it stands.

 

[Loveless]

I'm really hoping for a Russian equalizer, no-one wants to see them go out instead of Greece.

 

[SEMM]

I have faith in their scoring ability. Arshavin is great for Russia.

 

[Loveless]

I'm switching to the Russian game, Poland have had it now.

 

[SEMM]

Poland just miss with a header. Thought it was in.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Epic shrug battle.
