Wasnt it your famous Gary Linecker who after loosing penalties against Germany said something like “football is a simple game - 22 men run after a ball for 90 minutes and at the end Germany wins.”

It was a boring game, but Spain played better... for once they didn't choke.

I was reading that because of the lack of players, Turkey will have their 3rd goalie as an striker :P

I would love to see Russia in the finals, lots of young players... bright future

Well Italy wasn't so bad at penalties at the last world cup :rolleyes: :D

The group of death deserves its name. Italy, France, Netherland and Romania are already eliminated :lol:

So what type of final are people hoping for? I'm thinking Germany and Russia in the final, but then again, I did guess wrong with the Dutch semi game. ;)

Would be cool to have Germany and Spain in the final, making it an actual Euro cup game.

Tomorrow can't come fast enough.

Anyone who hasn't won it before, I get fed up with the same teams winning things over and over again. Spain v Turkey would be nice.

Germany were very very lucky, they didn't press forward at all. I hope they play better than that in the final. If it hadn't been for Turkey pushing forward all the time it would have been a boring game.

Yeah they were lucky, but so were the turks when the referee didn't give Germany the penalty...

Ye that was a lousy match.... I hope for Spain in the final, as I think there tactics will be easier to play against by the Germans.... We'll have to see who wins tonight, but I'm afraid Russia will make it.
