Learn some of the Russian players names and proclaim that you support the mother land. This will make the Euros a ton of fun for you as they play arguably the coolest football and they have the potential to reach very very far.

As a bonus you can make up a speech about how you have always loved Dzagoev, and that you beileved in Shirokov even when he vanished for two months.

Just sip your beer, watch the matches and have fun. A lot of people already said, look up on wiki to have an overview about the teams who are participating. I don't think you will sound educated in that short amount of time, but that is no problem. Most people watching Euro2012 in Germany have no clue either. :D And if you have questions, just ask them. Germans are pretty passionate about football and are happy to educate a new one.

This!

Every time your friends say for example: 'Ohh Muller is good but he aint doing well at the moment' you can just silently wiki it on your phone and say something like 'Well Muller did provide 7 assists and 3 goals in 10 games during qualifying' and look like a right smart ass

Just pretend you are texting someone who isn't there and Bob's your auntie!

Edit - Nod along a lot and say 'I guess so' too. Most people do it when I start spouting footy at them and it usually appeases me lol.
Bleh.

Most importantly, Gomez (our Striker) can't score. Even when he's a top scorer for the league, the champions league, the national cup and just got his first goal in the first match at the Euro2012. Don't be mislead by results, the clumsy bastard is infuriating to watch really xD


This hurts now.
this game is a fucking jokie

I'd make sure to know the rules for the most part, so you don't have to ask everything and you will know what happens in the game. If you don't know already, find out about:
- goal kick/corner/throw in
- penalty area/penalty shot
- offside
- yellow/red card/fouls/hands
- substitutes/injury time/extra time/penalty shootout
- formations (4-3-3, 4-4-2, 3-5-2 mostly) and positions (back, winger, striker etc).
Then just watch a couple of matches and you'll have a good idea what to expect, maybe google something if it bothers you. GL!

If you're watching ESPN/ESPN3, just believe the opposite of everything Lalas says and you can't go wrong.

In all seriousness, there's no substitute for watching lots and lots of games. And, like everyone else has posted, don't pretend to have knowledge that you don't. It's easy for someone who's been following the sport for decades to identify someone who's a relative newcomer.
It's funny; this used to be a good strategy, but this Euro, Lalas has been dead on about almost everything. He's studied. O_o

Is it bad for me to point out that people keep diving in football?
I keep seeing players covering their face and get up immediately after they realize the ref wont give a penalty

It seems like thats an accepted norm and its ok to try and get free penalties from refs. Arent there punishments for this behavior?

Everyone hates that behaviour and it is not punished enough. Hard to punish either way, you can hardly prove that someone is not in pain. And there are pretty limited possibilities to punish a player in retrospective after the game.

Though I don't feel it has been that bad during this EURO.

Diving is just as cheating as physical fouls are. You see a North vs South divide regarding attitudes to diving because "the north" plays more physical football while "the south" relies more on technique. Hence, "the north" cheats by stopping high skill technical players through hard fouls, while "the south" counters that by diving and overreacting to physical plays, in order to get fouls called.
