Re: Condolences to the Brits


We were not good enough to beat them... Playing well for 45 minutes isn't going to beat a solid side like the italians. We gave the ball away cheaply and too often.

However, we have a good looking squad, and a few players who need to take a good long hard look at themselves (milner and young for a start) and I think we have the nexus of a good looking international squad for the World Cup in 2014.

Spain have been my team from the start to win the Euro's and so far, I don't see my opinion changing.

Penalty kicks are a supremely shitty way to decide a playoff or championship.

I agree, Frank. It's understandable during regular season league play, but for tournaments and playoffs they should keep playing until someone scores, just like hockey.

If the sun starts coming up and there's still no winner, then play with no goalkeepers. emoticon

Yeah, despite the lack of scoring, today's Spain/Portugal game was quite exciting. IMO, when it comes to playoff or championship play, they should play the game until they have a winner.

Shootouts are stunts, not game-play.

Half time in the Italy/Germany game. The score is Mario Balotelli 2, Germany 0.

What a show this dude is putting on - scoring two beauty goals.

Italy vs Spain for the final.

I'm surprised. Soccer rookie that I am, I thought the Germans would make it through.

Looking forward to a great game on Sunday, though. emoticon

It was a great game last night, its one of the most attacking minded Italian teams I think i've ever seen last night and if they do that to Spain, we're in for a heck of a match.

I did think Zee Germans would have won though on paper, but the Italian manager got the tactics absolutely spot on. Fair play to him.
