Re: Euro 2008

I somewhat agree.. the Czechs definitely had their chances, and I dont see Portugal at this point getting past Germany if they meet in the quarters, which they should you would think,

But this match definitely turned almost immediately within the minute or so the Czechs missed that golden chance and then at the other end Ronaldo buried his shot to go 2-1

Re: Euro 2008

although portugal won 3-1, they didnt impress me. defense looked weak, dont think they can win it all

Re: Euro 2008

Russians could play better. They underestimate one's opponents.
Spain is a strong team showed a good game today.

Re: Euro 2008

russians look exhausted, they barely managed to score just now against spains weak defense. russians played well in the first 15-20 minutes and then they went downhill...

lets see how far spain gets this time before they choke

david villa.. wow, some quality football by two typically under achieving countries in Holland and Spain.. very well done!

I love to see Hiddink get his arse handed to him

Re: Euro 2008

Spain plays actually pretty good..I am sure the 2:0 isn't the last goal in this match.

Re: Euro 2008

Re: Euro 2008

SHIT!! Italy lost big time!!!!! 3-0

Re: Euro 2008

i was wondering about that.. thats a good call then and the italians jsut got their arses handed to them for 90 minutes, jsut about completely outclassed.. and yes the Dutch counter attack and Van Der Sar are going to be tough to beat.

Re: Euro 2008

btw, is it just me or the romanian fans were the loudest and strongest out of all so far? they were loud and chanting till the very end...

EDIT: the first dutch goal was 100% legit. Fifa Rule 11 says a player cannot create an offside position by going out of bounds. One of the Italian defenders (Panucci) was behind the goal line, to the right of the Italian goal (from Buffon's perspective) at the moment Van Nistelrooy scored the 1-0. He was injured from a contact with Buffon following a "head-ball".
