Euro 2016: Group C - Germany v Ukraine

keith16

Germany: Neuer, Howedes, Boateng, Mustafi, Hector, Khedira, Kroos, Muller, Ozil, Draxler, Gotze.
Subs: Leno, Hummels, Schweinsteiger, Schurrle, Podolski, Can, Weigl, Tah, Sane, Kimmich, Gomez, Ter Stegen.

Ukraine: Pyatov, Fedetskiy, Khacheridi, Rakitskiy, Shevchuk, Sydorchuk, Stepanenko, Yarmolenko, Kovalenko, Konoplyanka, Zozulya.
Subs: Boyko, Butko, Tymoschuk, Kucher, Seleznyov, Rotan, Budkivskiy, Rybalka, Garmash, Zinchenko, Karavayev, Shevchenko

I reckon a nervy 1-0 win for Germany.

Francie Barrett

I think there'll be goals for both teams here and am going to go out on a limb and predict a 2-1 win to Ukraine. Just think the German team might be a little jaded.

German starting the game with 10 men very cocky

Mr.Nice Guy

I fancy Germany to make a statement in this one. They tend to step up a gear when the tournament comes along. I'll say 3-0 to them.

Also England's Martin Atkinson is the ref for this one.

Typical efficiency! :pac: Edited now!

Hard to look past the Germans. Fancy them outright and fancy them to get 3 wins in the pool.

Ukrainian coach Fomenko: "I don't like open play. If you have not conceded a goal, you do not lose." "We are not adventurers."

This one should be a humdinger.

Right. Some game on Thursday against the North coming up so.

Haha puking football this weekend, 6th game in 2 days
Going to be rotten having to actually work tomorrow!
Hopefully a better game than the last one. Germans always a safe bet to make the semis at the very least

WinnyThePoo

Ukraine to defend and hold on to a draw or zinchenko to come on a bag a goal.

I've watched more football in 3 days than in the previous 2 years(since world cup)

Did lehmann just say west Germany??

That_Guy

Here's hoping for Muller time.

GreNoLi

No striker and a makeshift back 4 for Germany.

Angron

It is quite weird watching such a concentrated level of football after only having a passive interest since the World Cup.

Francie Barrett

Are their any ethnic Russians in this Ukraine team?

That_Guy

I love me a good German national anthem.

jamesbere

High scoring game, 3-2 Germany

Great isn't it. It's like a world cup every 2 years now. How do we cope when the euros only had 8 teams in it pre-96

They could be annexed to bolster the Russian squad before the game against Slovakia.

I clean the feces and urine from around me and sit patiently waiting for new football to start

Set volume to "Keith Andrews"....Off

Good strike!

Angron

Aye, good save from Neuer too. I look forward to seeing him wander half-way up the pitch at some stage, as is tradition for him :pac:

Edward Hopper

Good atmosphere so far.

I have a Smart T.V and it doesn't do that. I'd PAY GOOD MONEY for that.

Even worse, there were only 4 teams before 1980.

Francie Barrett

Germany just starting to settle here.

GreNoLi

Kroos control, lovely player.

Pre 96? Sure didn't the Euros only get introduced around 2001.

Who is Tony Cruise that Trevor Welch keeps mentioning?

Nice and clean. In and out.

Great tackle
Poor decision from the ref

It's cost Ukraine tbf

murpho999

And Germany are off.

That_Guy

Beautiful

Peist2007

Great header

Mr.Nice Guy

Great header.

Oh Keith's off shouting again.

adox

Lovely set piece. Very questionable free.

Angron

Fecking hell, went out to the kitchen to grab a beer, came back to find I'd missed the goal. Good free kick in.

derm0j073

That really is a lovely delivery by Kroos.

Peist2007

Yogi has been taking fashion tips from Camacho circa 2002 i see

GreNoLi

Never a free but good goal.

murpho999

Keith Andrews is really trying to be an exciting commentator but doesn't realise that he's sounds like he's on the phone in a toilet.

Ha, he's at it again. I'd nearly switch from BBC to TV3 for the howl

If it was a smart TV, it probably wouldnt pick up TV3 at all.

Keith Andrews again tonight, shouting and roaring. Beglin, Whelan, Andrews... Can they not find one commentator on RTE or TV3 that doesnt bug the hell out of me??
