| Czech Republic players perform outstanding ballet sequence during loss to Russia Posted: 11 Jun 2012 01:45 AM PDT After walloping the Czech Republic 4-1 on Friday night, it was clear to see that the mesmeric Russians had given the Czechs a footballing lesson. What we hadn’t realised was that Dick Advocaat’s men had also taught the opposition some sumptuous synchronised ballet moves. With Russia the spiritual home of a darn good pirouette, it’s [...]

| Polish commentator reacts to Robert Lewandowski goal with lung-bursting screaming fit Posted: 11 Jun 2012 01:30 AM PDT Over the past few years OTP’s affections for crazed commentators has stuck primarily with Italian reporter Tiziano Crudeli, who reacts to goals as if he has scored it himself, won the lottery and stepped on shattered glass.

| Top 10 Euro 2012 conclusions: Spain 1-1 Italy Posted: 10 Jun 2012 11:35 AM PDT 1. Italy owe Spain one. It’s not often they can counter the ultra-defensive sterotypes by saying: ‘Well the other team didn’t even have a striker on the pitch.’ 2. Vicente Del Bosque brought Fernando Torres on for a cameo performance to demonstrate why he had preferred to start the match with six midfielders. 3. After [...]

| GIF It: Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli’s vicious assault on an ant (Italy v Spain) Posted: 10 Jun 2012 10:02 AM PDT Italy star Mario Balotelli threatened to let his wild side boil over once again during the first-half of his side’s Euro 2012 match against Spain.
