At one point a second Rooney goal and France getting one against Sweden would have won it for you.

Re: Tacabala's Euro 2012 Pairs Sidegame - Day 11 Update Post
it was a team effort mate - not only did I end up dropping 8 points with a last-minute captain change to ribery but also somehow ended up deciding to sub out a 2-pointer rather than 1-pointerRobin Write wrote:Guy H, many apologies if I have knocked us out of this competition tonight...
anyway it'll be a close one I think!
edit: think we might be through mate! on the strength of 5 points?!

FYI - I won't post the tables and quarter final line-up until either the MD is completed, or tomorrow morning (which ever comes first).
Interestingly, provided there are no late-late amendments by UEFA.com, we have a 0-0! Has that ever happened on 5AS?

I wonder if 'points shite' should be just one word, e.g. "Del Horno is pointshite because he's always injured."

You can be forgiven Flyman. You earn't that stroke of luck
That is one to remember Knulpuk. We certainly exceeded my expectations

One small thing Tac, you seem to have mixed up the order of the quarter finals, does this mean we're going to be playing the winners of Ukrain/Croatia after smashing Greece?

@TheTon - I had intended on doing a preview, but things have got in the way domestically. I'll put out some stats come night's end

Re: Tacabala's Euro 2012 Pairs Sidegame - Groups + QFs Poste
Looks like the Russian march on the Euros has gathered a bit of pace. Hope GM and myself dont go the same way as Dzagoev and co.
My spartak team mates, Crispybits and Ashers were so unlucky not to follow us into the quarter finals, going out in a 2 way draw. Unbelievable...
So Billfella and Zoolander are also through.
Next up for Russia are the Germans, aka mowatson and tenpinterry .
Plenty of respect will be shown , but the Anglo/Belguim alliance that is team Russia, fancy at least another week in Poland.

Despite a shocking last group game perfomance, theZoofellas' Greece are through on merit being the 4th top scoring team in the competition. Next up is a tasty encounter between the European kings of 2004 and 1992!
