UEFA Euro 2012

[Corbon]

FINALLY!


GOOOOOOOAL!

[Vieira151]

Dem Greeks.

[Corbon]

3:1 bitches

Klose's 64th goal for Germany!

Khedira was a bit lucky because the ball kinda rolled over his shin but that made the goal even more spectacular.

[Vieira151]

4-1. Another impressive goal.

[Saarbrigga]

This time we gonna take it!

Sorry for Spain and Co, but this year we are to strong for any of you.

No other team, don t matter if Spain, France, England or Italy, no one would beat Greece 4-1.

[TomBs]

And neither could Germany. The defense, especially Boateng, looked pretty average.

[Corbon]

Boateng's worst game by far.

And they should've made 6 goals. But still 4 wins in 4 games, no one else can claim that. But they won't get that many opportunities against ITALY

[Saarbrigga]

First Italy must beat England.

[SlicerITST]

Dont get to over confident guys. Its great to win your matches on road to the final but in the end its only the final match that matters. Losing in the final means you have absolutely nothing.

Other teams could have won 4-1 from Greece as well. Dont talk crazy. Its a really mediocre team. I do support your team by the way. I think its the best team in the tournament. Not only the players and the way they play is good but also the philosophy behind it. I really like it.

[Ugadalou]

If a team like Greece can score 2 goals against the German defence, imagine what Portugal,Spain or England would do.

I suggest you lower your expectations.

[Saarbrigga]

Let s say 1 Goal, the 2nd one was a penalty (this can happens anywhere).

England will never beat Germany, it s like Federer and Nadal on clay. England has a nemesis when it comes to great tournaments like EM or WM, the name is Germany.

The Spaniards must beat France today...they never beat France in a big tournament to this day...5 defeats, 1 draw. Let s see...

[Corbon]

When you're already leading by 4-1, you can hardly be vilified for letting another goal in because it's a one game knockout stage. As for scoring 4 goals against that Greek defense, you can partly blame it blame it on the goalie, there are at least 2 goals that a better one could've avoided.

Past history or not, Spain is the clear favourite to win against France and Italy is the mild favourite against England.

If you use history like this it means nothing. Nadal versus Federer on clay then Nadal always has the advantage going into the match. But not because of the history but because Nadal is a better clay player then Federer.

Football is so much different. The matches you compare are over different eras. When the teams walk onto the pitch it is a blend of quality of the players, the chemistry of the team and the tactic choosen that will decide the outcome of the game (+ a bit of luck i guess). There is no way you can compare different match ups over years of football.

Take for example Spain. That team has had fabulous teams for decades but they never won a thing. It is often credited to different groups inside the group not working well together. Well, you cant say that about the current Spanish team.

[C4iLL]

Don't miss the elimination of Spain tonight.
There will be one goal from Benzema with a pass from Nasri.

[Corbon]

Not terribly impressed by Spain but then France isn't too bad. Still, the defending champion leads 1:0.
