| England band banned from Euro 2012 Posted: 12 Jun 2012 07:43 AM PDT Apart from Yohan Cabaye somehow avoiding a good 20 nailed-on yellow cards, the other remarkable feature from the England-France game yesterday was the somewhat subdued crowd atmosphere. There was certainly a jovial cacophony missing from our speakers that we couldn't quite place. Now we can. Today it was reported that the England Supporters Band were [...]

| Kitman: New Manchester City home kit leaked by Australian retailer Posted: 12 Jun 2012 03:31 AM PDT Manchester City’s new kit has seen the light of day earlier than anticipated after its release date was unofficially brought forward by a shop in Australia. The Premier League champions’ new home kit was placed on display by a sports retailer Rebel Sports in Brisbane without the club’s permission. It was spotted by a City [...]

| Video: Brazilian brawl produces 12 red cards Posted: 12 Jun 2012 03:05 AM PDT In most countries this incident would have resulted in a fairly predictable penalty, plus a red card for the goalkeeper. In Brazil, you get all that and more. For example, a massive brawl and 11 further red cards. Votuporanguense were awarded a spot-kick in their regional league match against Fernandopolis. Already trailing 2-1, Fernandopolis decided [...]

| Random 1990s Footballer Tuesday: #34 Slaven Bilic Posted: 12 Jun 2012 02:40 AM PDT Name: Slaven Bilic In his 90s prime for: West Ham, Everton Lowdown: After looking for a Euro 2012 theme to this week's entrant, we settled on Bilic after realising there were no foreign players at the tournament that played Premier League football in the last millennium. The Croatian defender began his career at Hadjuk Split [...]

| Video: Fat France fan falls asleep at the match Posted: 12 Jun 2012 02:26 AM PDT Granted, last night’s encounter between France and England probably wasn’t a source of great entertainment for the neutral, but you would have expected the partisan members of the crowd to be able to keep their eyes open. No such luck for this mustachioed gentlemen, who drifted off to dream of a Karim Benzema winner.

| The basin cut Ukraine kid loves it when Andriy Shevchenko scores Posted: 12 Jun 2012 02:23 AM PDT Ukraine striker Andriy Shevchenko was undoubtedly last night’s hero as his two goals gave the co-hosts victory over Sweden. But among the former Chelsea’s man’s supporting cast was this curious young chap. After another long day being picked on at school for his close resemblance to a mushroom, this Ukraine fan was able to overlook [...]

| OTP Euro 2012 Podcast – June 12th: Job Done-tsk Posted: 12 Jun 2012 01:53 AM PDT June 12th – Job Done-tsk by Off The Post on Mixcloud England stuck well and truly to the routine script yesterday: a nerve-jangling performance with the odd positive for fans to massage into something resembling hope. Mere minutes after the final whistle in Donetsk, the OTP Podcast set about reviewing Roy Hodgson's first competitive directorial [...]

| Posted: 12 Jun 2012 01:44 AM PDT In the last year, Alex Oxlade Chamberlain has superseded his senior teammate Theo Walcott in several quarters, including winning the affections of Arsenal fans and grabbing a starting place in England’s Euro 2012 opener against France yesterday. And this table tennis bout shows the inevitably competitive relationship played out away from 60,000 seater stadiums and in the [...]

| Top 10 Euro 2012 conclusions: Ukraine 2-1 Sweden Posted: 11 Jun 2012 01:43 PM PDT 1. That was quite possibly the moment of the tournament. His selection had been written off as a sentimental decision before kick-off, but Andriy Shevchenko proved he was there to do a job. Magical stuff. 2. Sheva showed that the rewards can be great if Ukraine your neck. Two headers from the veteran striker. 3. [...]

| Top 10 Euro 2012 conclusions: France 1-1 England Posted: 11 Jun 2012 11:20 AM PDT 1. England will take that. A draw against France is a good platform to build upon. 2. But having taken the lead, and given Roy Hodgson’s short history of 1-0 wins, it was a shame that England couldn’t keep France at bay until half-time and taken it from there. 3. Referee Nicola Rizzoli was an [...]
