would you rather lose to Italy on pens, or win ugly and then get hammered..........

...by the Germans convincingly?


hypothetical, but a bit of fun and neither scenario tastes good.


for me, i would cringingly just rather get to the semis and get hammered.

 

[pasty]

Win. Don't care how. Just win.

 

[Mellotron]

Definitely rather get to the semis. Germany are the best team in the world, no shame at all losing to them.

why would it be a cringe if you win? you're talking shit.

Did you cringe when we beat Forrest at home?

 

[ali jenkins]

Definatly get to the Semi's.

England are far more organised that they were 2 years ago and you never know, underdogs, playing Germany, revenge for SA. We could (BIG could) just pull it out of the bag.

 

[Stat Brother]

As said.

I can't see our quarters going to pens, anyway.
I think that game will be the hammering (I don't know who to), but the Germany game will be cagey.

 

[raz_18]

We'll do them both! Believe..

 

[peterward]

you're assuming Germany are in the semis, they still have 90 mins against Greece................ COME ON GREECE

 

[Simster]

Of course he didn't. He KNEW that someone in the CIA had an in-game bet on us winning that one. I saw a video about it on youtube.

 

[Dr Q]

The Germany Greece game will be about the Euro Bailout.

Angle Merkl will be betting on something like a 16:0 Germany win, with three Greeks getting red carded for time wasting. The Greeks will be forced to toe the line and the acquired funds will then be used to wipe next weeks Greek debt!

 

[Techno]

Win against Italy for definite. There's no way any defeat against the Germans this time can be worse than in 2010, and at least we'll have gotten to the semi finals.

 

[Triggaaar]

After some thought (I've invested 30 seconds of my time in this) I will go for a thrashing by Germany. There is shame in it, but I think it's important to learn that we're not very good.

the sentence meant that i would cringe at the [grouped alternative] of sneaking past italy (ugly) AND getting hammered by Germany. Getting hammered by Germany would make me cringe....but i can see how it could have been read.

gfaaw gfaaw gfaaw stereotyping me on any thread you can is a sign you are a bit of a fool. are you following me? do you think about me at night? weirdo.

 

[Biscuit]

I don't care how ugly it is. In a knock out tournament, it's all about the win.

 

[Marshy]

Everybody is really under estimating Italy in my opinion.

 

[Commander]

The question seems to be "Would you rather England win or lose the quarter final of the European Championships?".

I think I'll go with.....................WIN.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Get through the next game or not get through the next game? No contest! Win, however it comes!!

 

[brakespear]

I'd like us to win both, although this would create a nasty dilemma for me as the final is the same day as the wife's birthday

 

[forrest]

My Ideal Euro 2012 would be us winning ugly against Italy if needs must. I don't care how, win at all costs. Then surprisingly Greece dump on ze Germans, an own goal would be nice - Germans bailing out the greeks again. Then we beat Greece in the semi final.

While over in the other half of the draw, Portugal get beat by the Czechs, Spain smash the French and in that semi the Czech's do over the Spanish.

Nicely setting up a Czech Rep V England final. Which we win of course. happy days all round.
