Souey unimpressed with Thierry
Ronnie Whelan reckons the Austrians are playing too many killer balls
“They get in the box and the snuff it.”
Quote of this or any other tournament
Different class from a perplexed Mister Magee at Italy-Romania;
“There were dozens of people coming in with hot-dogs, burgers and trays of beer. I thought that was just an American thing. Maybe they were Americans.”
A rate moment of humility from Razor
Ray “He’s got to go across the keeper, George” Houghton must have had a few to commemorate Stuttgart;
“I missed an incredible amount of chances. A lot of people will look back to Wembley in 1991 when I missed from six yards. It’s easily done I can tell you.”
Euro 2008 early guff round-up
George marvels at Turk battling on with gurney strapped to leg;
“And Servet is having a large piece of medical equipment strapped to his left knee!”
Looking on the bright side with Razor
The rest of the human world are agog at Holland’s lightning break for goal number two and Geo van Bronckhorst’s miraculous reincarnation as a genious.
Ray “of sunshine” Houghton’s instant reaction?
“Would they have got the opportunity if the referee hadn’t aided them with that first goal.”
Learning from your mistakes
No Turkish Christian names for George this time round;
“Turkish footballers tend to be known by their first names.”
Narrowing it down with Eamon Dunphy
An ongoing series;
“If you backed Portugal, you can take your betting slip and tear it up.”
“I would cross the French off the list of possible winners Bill.”
“I wouldn’t put either Italy or Holland up there as contenders to win the tournament.”
Rare lack of practicality from Gilesy
This tournament’s answer to “personal stereos and third-level education destroying the standard of international football”.
