Euro 2008: The Spoiler’s Worst Team of The Tournament


They’re a disgrace, a big revolting disgrace…

Okay, we’ve drooled enough over the Arshavins and the David Villas, now it’s time to load up the claws and get stuck into some massive Euro 2008 flops. These men should think about getting a new day job - especially you, Ronaldo, or whatever your name is! What’s that? It is Ronaldo? Yeah, well…. shut up!

GK Petr Cech (Czech Republic)
His mistakes were costly, the hat looks stupid, and he’s getting more and more grumpy - starting to resemble the world’s most sullen gimp.

Flamini’s slightly embarrassing nickname revealed


Mathieu’s teammates find cringe-worthy method of likening him to his AC Milan counterpart

Flattuso

At the start of this season, Mathieu Flamini earned himself a new nickname among his team-mates - Flattuso. He earned the moniker because his playing style is similar to AC Milan’s midfield enforcer Gennaro Gattuso.

Fans will get the chance to directly compare the two players tonight, and big-brained Arsene believes we will see Flattuso at his best:

“Yes he had that name. Flamini has a similar style to Gattuso because of his size and the fact he’s always up for it.
