Euro 2012 Bingo

[NorthernLights24]

Let us try and make a list of phrases, cliches and sights we'll hear and see over the next few weeks. Perfect for a drinking game with friends. The first two that come to mind for me are...

 

Commentators giving players double barrelled surnames - Robin van Persie of Arsenal, Daniel Agger of Liverpool, Luka Modrić of Spurs etc.

Anyone associated with England saying "Expectations are so low we might just win it" or similar.

Teams or players being having plurals.

 

i.e. your Chelseas, your Man Uniteds of this world.

 

Your Lampards, Rooneys and Beckhams.

 

Clearly 1966 will get a mention any time England are playing or a team they played in 1966 are playing despite it being a different competition.

 

"Zonal marking"

 

"Diamond formation"

 

"Playing for penalties"

 

"Goal line technology has to be brought in"

 

"England fan's behaviour has been exceptional"

 

"There was contact"

 

"Never a sending off"

 

and finally "Well that's England's dream over, next on BBC1, Eastenders"

[CrazyBullSheep]

That Banana was obviously thrown by the Poland fans

[Dynamo]

Any England player down injured - "oo, looks like he's taken a nasty one"

 

Any player an England player has injured - "It looks like he's making the most of it"

[Bluto10]

diego simiones bound to get a mention.

or more generally st etienne 98.

[Henry]

'Efficient Germans'

[Bluto10]

the first game for england will be ace.

 

beckhams missed penalty in the france game. doubt they'll mention that.

 

however hopefully they'll show zidane spewing then ''clinically dispatching'' his penalty.

They'll mention the last time England played France in the Euros

 

Were England not 1 up with 5 minutes to go and they got beat 2-1? Zidane got them both?

[Dynamo]

"Greece have their own problems back home"/"some welcome respite for the Greeks"

 

"luck of the Irish"

[Bluto10]

''well organised swedes'' (or danes)

 

''patriotic croats''

 

''defensivley minded italians''

 

''cheating italians''

 

''another italian scandal''

[Dynamo]

"Italy have their own problems back home"/"some welcome respite for the Italians"

[Bluto10]

"Italy have their own problems back home"/"some welcome respite for the Italians"

 

 

''after their last cheating bastard scandal they went on to lift the world cup. can the italians do it again''??

[Bluto10]

any mention of robbie keane and his club will be swiftly followed up by a name dropping of beckham. this will further prompt a mention london 2012. and then team gb.

[vanderark14]

there will be plenty anti german cemments I'd assume

[Bluto10]

"Neuer/Gomez/Lahm/Schwiensteiger/Kroos who played on that fateful night in Munich"

 

 

''germans are no longer unbeatable at penalties''

[Bluto10]

''ronaldo never does it in big games''

 

''ronaldo never does for his country''

[360]

Haha. The 2010 World Cup game was ace. Shearer saying before the game that he expected England to win comfortably, how did that turn out baldy?

 

Also, the commentary from Mark "The Dickhead" Lawrenson during the game was priceless. Some of the best I've heard. The plastic paddy was absolutely spewing.

Can't remember who the commentator was, but at the start of the England USA game after Gerrard scored he said "this will be fun!"

It was about 15 minutes into the that game when Lawrenson asked if any of the Germans would make it into the English starting 11.

 

[MincePie]

I find Lawrenson amusing because he's such a cunt to co-commentators.

 

"So the world cup is finally here, are you doing a sweeper Mark?"

 

"No."

 

"Wallchart then?"

 

"No."

 

"How do you feel about Ireland being cheated because of Henry's handball?"

 

"That's life."
