Euro 2004 = Propaganda?

Well, these countries may be persuaded to join, knowing that a major power in the EU has been defeated.

Population of Greece: 10,647,529 (July 2004 est.)

Nothing compared to Germany, France and England.

Mild humiliation? No no no, that's when the thread continues for another 20 pages of ridicule, mickey taking and other members pulling your post apart and analysing it
The truth is that many of the nations involved in the tournament have been struggling to find decent form for quite some time now, the smaller nations are now taking their chances to show what they can do.
The ref was dire in our last match but let's face facts, our performance in the tournament was terrible.
Looks like 2004 will be the year of the smaller nations, maybe that will be the kick in the arse that our national games requires to move forward and improve.

Oh for goodness sake.WE lost! Get over it!


Incog who ponders upon the idea that the most overworked phrase in the english language is no longer "I love you" but 'conspiracy theory'.

I like this thread - it has no point to make, and is already proving popular. My prediction is it will grow to be huge in time, with loads of respondents variously siding with their stated preferences, and it will ultimately become the be all and end all deciding thread of the whole forum.

So far the contributors have mostly stated yes or no - I am undecided whether to vote maybe or possibly, I think I will sit on the fence and see if any cliques develop.

Yes, and perhaps someone will one day write a book about it. It will then become a University degree subject, with some bearded chin-stroker writing a thesis about the 7 stages of such forum topics.....and the Nobel peace prize will then be a matter of days away....

Exactly.

There have already been some incredible lengths the EU has taken to sway voters in a possible referendum.

And Beckham's performances have been appalling for someone who is seen as a Shinto Deity in Japan.

Given promises of high media exposure, money, etc, I think some players could have chosen themselves over their country.

Beckham's penalty on Thursday was unbelievably bad.
