OFFICIAL - UEFA EURO 2008 TOURNAMENT

[i am toddzo]

I played the Euro 2008 demo.. it's somewhat entertaining as Fifa is trying their best to replicate WE 2008. Granted, WE2008 sucks this year, it's stillbetter than Fifa/Euro. I will say though that be a pro mode definitely kept me busy on the demo for a while, I might have to rent Euro 2008 and play that modefor a couple weeks. No way I'm dropping $60 on game that will be current for about 3-4 weeks though.

its actually $50, $40 with my discount so its not too bad.

Im a footy game junkie

Ive got all the current games.

Fifa08
PES2008
Fifa street
Euro2008

Street just dropped in price to $29 FYI

yea i picked up euro 2008 the other day too, and i agree its definitely harder than fifa '08...

the Czech/Switzerland game has been interesting...they need to bring in Baros up front to help out Koller, take out one of the midfielders...the Swiss defensehas handled Koller so far...Czech look like a different side w/o Rosicky in the lineup

 

[cincoseisdos]

Word, Tomas needs to be on that pitch.

the Swiss are making Cech work

 

[fuser86]

Germany or the Nederlands is taking this tournament

Having trouble scoring with England? Good to see that they made the game realistic.

I've bought every Winning Eleven since 2004, but 2008 is by far theworst version I've ever played. The AI is extremely ******ed and the player-controlled goalies are terrible. I'll make a back pass to my goalie andthe idiot will dive and slap it out for a corner kick

I'll be supporting Turkey in the match...heck, I'll be supporting any team that plays Portugal.

[gordon gartrelle]

Saw that one coming. As valiant as Turkey is, they stand no chance against this Portuguese team.

 

[xblaze23]

Pepe, Real Madrid applauds you.

FYI, you can buy euro 2008 for 39.99 off buy.com using google checkout.

It seems that way.. I hope its just the players preference (Ronaldo wears a size xxxx-small it seems)

 

[cincoseisdos]

true... that was a sick pass he made on that header that hit thepost though...

 

[Sinner]

saw em at Nike the other day and the XL looked normal, didn't try em on though, so I could be wrong... maybe players are going for the tight fit to reduceshirt-pulling...

but the thing is, Nike's in the business of making money... and they know that most people don't look like professional athletes... so by sellingshirts that can normal people look unflattering, it'll hurt their sales... maybe these are some PE's... I'm sure these designs do have some sort ofperformance benefits...

I love Adidas fitting when it comes to kits.

One of the best Nike kits, fit wise was the last Holland/Netherlands kit with the collar.

I'm going to invest in the RvN Holland home and probably a Patrick Vieira France home.
