were you watching the same game? Italy got outplayed by Romania. It seems as if everything is the opposite. All the weaker teams have gotten stronger this year and the stronger teams have stayed the same, which is why they are getting spanked. And I'm mostly talking about France and Italy.

And what happend to Greece? lol...defending champions went down with only 2 games.

France and Italy are two biggest disappointments of the tournament so far...
Italy plays like it is a friendly game and were celebrating for not losing to Romania... Yes, they took away a clean goal from them (no offside), but again, they look nothing like what many expected from them.

As for Greece...last time was a fluke (won it with a pure defense...), I did not expect them to advance to the next level...

Great game between Turkey and Czech today. I expected the Portugal game to be boring and it was just that but i'm sure they'll be ready to kick some ass in the QF's

Yep. Sure didn't expect Turkey to score three goals that fast.

achien · 06-16-2008, 04:42 PM

the legs were gone from the Czechs in the last 20 minutes, penalty or not, they will lose.

Germans looked like crap today...
I pick Portugal, Croatia, Netherlands and Spain/? to go through to the semis...
WHoever Spain meets in the 1/4's, I give 50/50...

AcMilan714 · 06-16-2008, 05:07 PM

Well my fellow Italia fans if our amazing coach (lol) plays Cassano and Del Piero in the front instead of Luca Toni i think they will win and hope for a Holland win as well so they can prove some of you wrong.. Spain still the fav to win it all and Portugal might be a little more because of the coach..

achien · 06-16-2008, 08:34 PM

the problem for both Italy and France is:

will the Dutch "sandbag" the game against Romania just to eliminate both of them with one shot? this would mark the second time in a row on EURO when Italy gets screwed with "fixed" games.

Turkey FTW!!! probably the best Eurocup game so far, it was 0-2 and they brought it back to 3-2 by the last few minutes!

Yea, i really wasn't expecting Turkey to win that game. I think Portugal will have the best chance to win the euro. Germany didn't really show great performance during their Euro games. I think Portugal euro series is going to be:

Quarter Final: Portugal vs Germany

Semi Final: Portugal vs Croatia

Final : Portugal vs Netherlands <--- lets just hope it wont be another blood bath like the last euro. I think there was like 27 yellow cards and some red cards in the mix.

Lets hope the Referees dont make bad calls, and allow the best team to win.

PORTUGAL FTW

Fixed???
WHy would they play ANY of their 1st team players???
Italy (and France) burried themselves with pathetic performances so far... France was even lucky to qualify...
You lose 3:0 to anyone in the group, you don't deserve to advance, bottom line...

Holland is my fav team but im hoping they lose today so France and Italy can go home. You dont deserve to advance when you lose 3-0, 4-1.

Hoping for a Holland-Portugal final. Even though i think the Germans will knock out Portugal.

NoKids · 06-17-2008, 01:13 PM

I hope Holland comes to their senses and loses today's game against Romania on purpose. They already clinched first in the group and by losing will eliminate Itay and France for god's sake!!! DO IT!!!

Germany beats Portugal
Croatia beats Turkey
Holland beats Sweden
Spain beat Romania

Germany beats Croatia
Spain beats Holland

Germany beats Spain (Hey I'm a Spain fan, but I'm also realistic. )

Go Spain!!!!!!!!!!

That would be great, if Germany could beat Portugal...!!!

But what i saw yesterday against Austria was the worst game of Germany in the last two years! If they play the same shit against Portugal again, they´ll loose so badly... maybe 0-4 or something like that...

Portugal just needs to find the net. 9 balls to the post so far, in 3 games. And trust me, its harder to hit the post then it is to hit the net.

Germany can't beat either POR or CRO...or SPA...

Can't believe Italians advanced...pathetic red card...

Does anyone know why Ribery didn't play???

He was injured during first half.. in the half-time they said that his lower leg is broken (or something like that)..

Ah well, I can see Italy in the Semis now...but then another (at least) 3 in their net....

Yeaaaaa Italia.. We did it man.. Luca Toni should work on his foot work a lot this summer.

achien · 06-17-2008, 06:54 PM

I think Holland just let Italy off the hook, and it may bite them back afterwards.

Teams may stumble through the group stage, but if Italy finds their form in the knock-out stages, they may actually pull this through.

OverDrive · 06-17-2008, 07:16 PM

my predictions are:

Germany beats Portugal
Croatia beats Turkey
Holland beats Sweden/Russia
Spain beats Italy

then Germany beats Croatia (I can't possibly think that Germany would let Croatia beat them twice!!!)
and Holland beats Spain

Then Holland beats Germany and becomes the CHAMP!!!!

I can't believe Italy won that game. If Ribery wasn't injured that game would've been a lot different. But congrads to the Italians although I just can't see Italy making it passed Spain in QF with the way Spain has been dominating.
