| The Psychological Test One-Word Caption Competition #1 Posted: 09 Jun 2012 05:39 AM PDT After a suggestion from OTP reader Ron Kaslasi (we welcome your suggestions too) we’re trialling this competition, based loosely on the Rorschach test. All you have to do is look at the image above and write the first word that comes into your head as a comment below. No thinking – just type the first [...]

| John Terry’s defence lawyer raises concerns about his client’s new taste in decor Posted: 09 Jun 2012 04:27 AM PDT England defender John Terry took a trip to the Schindler Factory yesterday along with other members of the squad. While it’s good to see the Chelsea captain getting to grips with the local history around the squad’s base in Krakow, it did throw up one or two unfortunate photo opportunities. Take, for instance, this image [...]

| Wesley Sneijder with incredible backheel golazo in training Posted: 09 Jun 2012 03:19 AM PDT Wesley Sneijder celebrates his birthday today, and will mark the occasion by playing for his country in their opening Euro 2012 game against Denmark. OTP imagines that he will be keen to celebrate the day with a goal, but suspects that his amazing flick goal in training was not a preparation for something that he [...]

| Republic of Ireland fans go viral with ‘Angela Merkel Thinks We’re At Work’ flag Posted: 09 Jun 2012 01:48 AM PDT A group of Republic of Ireland supporters have taken the internet by storm with a cheeky flag aimed at German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Irish fan Gerry Nolan and a group of friends from Limerick are behind the topical banner. He told the BBC: “It was purely a joke, it wasn’t political at all. “We were [...]

| Top 10 conclusions Russia 4-1 Czech Republic Posted: 08 Jun 2012 01:55 PM PDT 1. If Russia don’t coast to top spot in Group A then they’ve done something very wrong. 2. Alan Dzagoev has put himself in prime position for an assault on the Golden Boot with his two goals. 3. Andrey Arshavin tearing it up in the Euros looking for a transfer. Hello, 2008! 4. We certainly [...]

| Posted: 08 Jun 2012 11:40 AM PDT Poland goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny was a relieved man as he watched sub goalie Przemyslaw Tyton save the spot-kick he had conceded in the opening match of Euro 2012. The Arsenal man was sent-off after bringing down Greece’s Dimitris Salpigidis in the box with the score at 1-1. Szczesny watched the resulting penalty on a TV [...]

| Video: Bizarre ref makes up his own rules in Singapore v Malaysia match Posted: 08 Jun 2012 11:25 AM PDT Euro 2012 isn’t the only international tournament taking place at the moment. In the Far East, Malaysia and Singapore met in the Causeway Challenge today. Both tournaments have been blighted with some strange refereeing. This video starts with Malaysia’s goalkeeper having just saved a Singapore penalty. But with the ref unhappy and the Malaysia players [...]

| Euro 2012 opening ceremony: why did nobody tell virtuoso pianist Adam Gyorgy about Diana Ross? Posted: 08 Jun 2012 11:12 AM PDT So, Euro 2012 is underway. OTP was expecting the first football action to involve Poland and Greece, but we hadn’t counted on pianist Adam Gyorgy getting in on the act. After successfully doing what he does best with a tribute to Polish composer Chopin, Gyorgy foolishly decided to show off his football skills. His footballing [...]

| Top 10 conclusions: Poland 1-1 Greece Posted: 08 Jun 2012 10:55 AM PDT 1. The opening match of Euro 2012 was a tale of dodgy goalkeeping, dodgy refereeing and bags of action. 2. Robert Lewandowski decided to show why Manchester United want him. Or why they don’t want him but lots of people think they do. Either way, he scored the first goal of the tournament. 3. Wojciech [...]
