I'll take France over Ukraine 1-0 (despite wanting Ukraine to win) and an upset with Sweden over England 2-1.

SJKebab		2012-06-15 09:54:48 AM

Sorry subby, but I still want England to lose. It's just tradition.

Generation_D		2012-06-15 10:08:32 AM

30 46 years of hurt

JerseyTim		2012-06-15 10:11:06 AM

I'm pretty sure Ukraine isn't disappointed.

Emrick		2012-06-15 11:20:24 AM

I really really want to root for England, but they make it so hard.

It is easy root against the French though. Go Ukraine!!

Purple_Jack		2012-06-15 11:26:48 AM

Ukraine 1-2 France
Sweden 1-1 Nigelshire

desertgeek		2012-06-15 11:33:14 AM

I'm going to say they're both draws today. I'm actually pretty convinced of that.

Come on Ukraine and I guess England. I want to cheer for England, but there are so many other exciting teams to cheer for. I'm hoping old man Shevvy gets another brace and puts the youngins in their place (ha! I rhymed).

Sweden over England in a tournament isn't an upset.

Surprisingly, former England international Darren Anderton isn't completely horrible in his role as studio-analyst on TSN.

The_Sponge		2012-06-15 11:52:40 AM

Come on Ukraine!

Gosh darn this Netware server issue that's keeping me chained to my desk and not able to go out with coworkers at lunch time. What ever shall I do to console myself...

Ukraine 0 - France 1
England 1 - Sweden 0

/rooting for upsets though

paj		2012-06-15 12:01:27 PM

Game on. 3-2 Ukraine. That's right.

esteban9		2012-06-15 12:01:52 PM

Jesus, does it ever stop raining up there?

The Stealth Hippopotamus		2012-06-15 12:03:06 PM

So where are all the hottie fans. I love me some football, but a side dish of hotness would be nice.

Hopefully wearing France's away kit...

marius2		2012-06-15 12:06:34 PM

I was just laughing at my American friends who said "Oh it's raining, lets hope they don't cancel the game." "Please fools, this isn't baseball....ah fark."

Mr_H		2012-06-15 12:07:01 PM

At first I was gonna say 'It's just rain', but lightening..yeah, I guess I can't blame them.

/and wind, lotsa wind

dietbubba		2012-06-15 12:08:31 PM

So I'm guessing some lightning?

Much lightning...

Commentator making lightning jokes? 'There's a buzz in the stadium"

Put on rubber cleats, problem solved.

So, will the second game still start on time?

Well, you can always fill the time by googling Shevchenko's wife until the match gets started.

marius2		2012-06-15 12:14:46 PM

How will the teams advance? Please tell us lady person announcer

"Well, they have to win."

Thanks!

esteban9		2012-06-15 12:16:16 PM

No chance of canceling, I s'pose...riots would ensue.

JerseyTim		2012-06-15 12:16:41 PM

This lady's accent is fake.

RminusQ		2012-06-15 12:16:49 PM

LOL, looks like this game is a no decision for France and a win for the Ukraine.

midpoint		2012-06-15 12:19:02 PM

Game must be replayed the next day if abandoned.

esteban9		2012-06-15 12:20:08 PM

Brings up an uninformed question - are there any covered stadiums in big-time soccer?

TrainingWheelsNeeded		2012-06-15 12:21:05 PM

I guess it depends on whether or not there is a lightning storm in Kyiv. games are at different venues.

Wembley, Amsterdam Arena, Millenium Stadium

Yes.

Cardiff's Millennium Stadium for one.

Stadium is multisport.

esteban9: Brings up an uninformed question - are there any covered stadiums in big-time soccer?

It's about as common as in the NFL, which is to say a handful of the bigger teams have retractable roofs. Germany has a few.

Most big teams go for the Dallas Cowboys' style covered-stands-open-pitch type stadium though.

midpoint		2012-06-15 12:27:44 PM

No kick-off until 1800 BST apparently...

So - new Swansea manager: Link

esteban9		2012-06-15 12:27:58 PM

postponed 1/2 hour...

JerseyTim		2012-06-15 12:29:33 PM

This is an unusual situation for France, what with being exposed to all those droplets of falling water and whatnot.

RminusQ		2012-06-15 12:34:03 PM

So even once it stops, how long will it take them to drain the field to a reasonable amount of sogginess?

I remember them saying the stadium in Warsaw (where Poland is playing all of their 1st round matches) had a roof for their 1st match, but was open air for their 2nd.

this is some bullshiat. the african cup of nations has been played in ponds. just get out there and play. pansy ass pansies.

JerseyTim		2012-06-15 12:35:42 PM

Maybe they can get that giant "This is Russia" flag to sop up the rain.

That's because the winning country got to take the water home.

I think it's more the lightning than the rain, really. They could probably get over the rainfall, but the lightning is a major safety issue.

His name is "Sicknote," Darren Anderton is merely an alias.

Hoping England can beat the Swedes, see that one ending 2-1. I'll say Carroll scores the winner.

Ukraine-France is going to end 0-0, with both Ribery and Schevi missing potential game-winners after 80 mins played (if it ever dries out)
