| Top five all-time European Championship flops Posted: 19 Jun 2012 03:00 AM PDT Here’s the Kitbag.com Euro 2012 lads larking about in a pub during Sunday night’s tense Group B showdown. Whilst we won’t be seeing the Netherlands lifting anything other than a pina colada by the pool for the rest of the summer, Portugal progressed to the quarter’s to face Group A winner Czech Republic.

| Posted: 19 Jun 2012 01:21 AM PDT If you follow us on Twitter, you might have seen this last night. But it’s too good not to share with the rest of the class. This is the Where’s Mesut Ozil? game. It’s a bit like Where’s Wally? except your mission is to track down Germany’s playmaker. Let us know how you get on. [...]

| Tottenham midfielder Luka Modric auditions for Barcelona transfer Posted: 19 Jun 2012 12:51 AM PDT Spurs star Luka Modric was linked with a move to Barcelona in yesterday’s papers.

| Top 10 Euro 2012 conclusions: Italy 2-0 Republic of Ireland Posted: 18 Jun 2012 03:02 PM PDT 1. No matter how loud or how often you shout “Get Ray Houghton on!” at the TV, it won’t actually happen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXauYVy_dws 2. The pupil beat his master.

| Top 10 Euro 2012 conclusions: Croatia 0-1 Spain Posted: 18 Jun 2012 02:28 PM PDT 1. Spain delivered the ultimate ‘up yours’ to us all. After 87 minutes of sniping about their lack of penetration and subsequent lack of a striker, they literally walked it into the net. 2. The reigning champions did look precarious at one point. Fortunately, they had Jesus (Navas) to be their saviour. 3. It’s probably [...]
