Finally we're involved





Is that our Nemeth for Hungary?

[Daffy Duck]

Just read an article on one of our more respectable online sports pages, it was about Austria NT and it was titled 'terrorists are not the only thing France will fear this summer'

They do have a few decent players though.

Good read that

[Maxiedge]

I cannot believe Eidur Gudjohnsen is still playing

[Shaggy]

Is that our Nemeth for Hungary?

Yep

[danperkins]

Been looking forward to seeing Portugal this tournament. Very good young side, maybe a tournaments to soon for them though. Iceland will be a difficult game. Austria and Portugal win for me but the way things are going who knows.

I think Portugal will be a surprise for this tournament, unfortunately for Iceland I think they will start strongly, I reckon this will be 2 or 3 - 0 for Portugal. Eidur is still going strong, he's playing in Norway and doing well, he's a useful sub and it's great that he get's the chance to taste a big tournament.

Iceland can be a match for Austria and Hungary though, Hopefully they draw their game and if we can win Hungary and draw Austria we should be in a good position.

FFS, I'm giddy with excitement Don't know what I'm doing at work

Is that our Nemeth for Hungary?

Nemeth seemed to have a very good season in the MLS last year, which made me check to see if he was in the squad. Just found out he moved to Quatar. Doesn't seem to be starting for Hungary, but be interesting to see if he makes an appearance.

Gulacsi is also in the squad, although I think he's 3rd choice.

No sign of Simon though.

Finally we're involved

Was on the radio earlier that youse are the smallest nation to qualify for Euros or WC. Fair play. Population just over 300,000.

Hope you do well.

Yeah i do fancy Portugal to go well, Iceland are a very awkward side. Big, physical lads but yeah Portugal should win. Be surprised if Hungary don't finish bottom of the group.

just leave, who needs work anyways
