EURO 2012 Special
With the action well under way in Poland and Ukraine we finally present our first EURO 2012 special. You'll see nostalgia, a football celebration coming home, the best (and worst) of the opening ceremony, the return of an old friend and an International captain who can't fold his arms. It's all here... In the Box.
We begin with some good old fashioned nostalgia which gives us the chance to look back at tournaments gone by...in lego. Relive some classic moments; Motty going mad over Platini, fatty Brolin sinking England and causing Barry Davies to burst into a Dolly Parton Song (*for the answer see below) and the Danish sticky brick version of a booing Ronaldo is worth a look at least.

As always the opening ceremony was a surreal affair but thankfully a short one. A Polish techno DJ called in a gold sparking shirt with matching beard called DJ Karmatronic and a Hungarian pianist called Adam who having tinkled the ivories tried his hands at keepie-ups and nearly gave us another Diana Ross moment. He should have stuck with Chopin. Isn't also strange to see Jedward acting as official mascots?
It was once said that the one thing worse than despair is hope. And these Irish lads had it in buckets as Sean St Ledger headed them level against the Croatians. Seeing as they were playing at the home of one of the more bizarre crowd celebrations the boys from the Emerald Isle could do only one thing. They 'did the Poznan'. After ninety minutes they probably wished they hadn't bothered.
Speaking about celebrations and dances (a very tenuous link if ever there was one) isn't it good to see the return of the famous 'tango' ball? Looking forward to France 2016 when the leather one with laces and made out of a pig's bladder makes an overdue comeback.
And finally, as pointed out recently by our own Stuart Fuller, German captain Philipp Lahm can't fold his arms. Don't believe us? See for yourself.
*The Dolly Parton song? It goes something like this...
"DAHLIN...BROLIN...DAHLIN...BRO...LIIIIIN!!!!
I'm beggin' of you please don't take my man."

Worst ''five'' ever from Stevo and Johno in the Anfield rap!
