Italy vs Romania. 1:1
Not a bad match, but if Italy had any hope of winning I'd think they'd at least not end up with a draw.

The second half of the Turkey vs. Czech Republic match was amazing. Great game.

How do you come to this conclusion when Italy plays so shit?
I just don't agree that they play like shit. I do think a good part of the team is aging, and that's where you'll find problems. That's something even a master tactician would struggle with.
I don't gamble in general, so no worries.

Germany gets Portugal
Croatia gets Turks.
First one looks great, second one, not so much.

I think the last time I thought Italy was a strong team was back when more than half of AC Milan was signed to Chelsea and Jouventus had the black player that had a heart condition.

I assume you mean Kanu? Who is with Portsmouth now? He won the gold medal with Nigeria in 1996, and was supposed to play for Inter, and then his ticker went bad for a little while before he surfaced with Arsenal. As an AC Milan fan, I didn't get too broken up about his inability to continue for Inter.

I think I'm with Charlie on this one. In the match against Holland, Italy didn't play well, but it wasn't that bad either. Holland was in top shape. I didn't see much of Romania - Italy, but read in the paper that Italy wasn't great. I filled out the pool for my sister-in-law and going over the teams I didn't see an all-out favorite, so I took the other way of excluding teams. Italy remained with Germany. And there is the fact that I have my preferences.... No Portugal or Croatia PLEASE! Loop, I think the black player you mean was Nwankwo Kanu. He played at Inter Milan (not Juve).

Well, loop, I beg to differ.
1. They don't play that well. From time to time, they play quite attractively for a few matches and then the level sinks fast. Holland didn't qualify for WC 2002 and we had enough problems to qualify for EC 2004. Under Van Basten, the record looks fantastic results wise, but it was no pleasure to watch the qualification matches against Moldovia, Albania, Romania, Bulgaria, etc. A lot of luck and last minute goals.
2. Holland was European Champion in 1988, second in Worldcup 74 and 78, 4th in 1998. And yes, that is a long time ago.

Italy looked average against ten men France for most of the game.
Italy Spain should be lively.
Russia/Sweden winner gets Holland. Yikes!

For those who watched Holland - Russia yesterday and were surprised by the Dutch 'achievement', I would like to point out that yesterday is the normal level of play. It's boring, undaring, no drive, no passion, nothing. It's what we normally see at matches of the national team.
Last night, we got beaten by an enthousiastic team, who played skillfully and with passion. And they have a Dutch coach.
And I'm glad that Spain beat the Italians. Thursday evening could be great.

Soooo glad no Italians near the final. Today they played for a fucking draw. The worst football. Save for maybe Luca Tony. The Spaniards at least tried to score.

What the fuck are you babbling about? Italy played very boring and negative this tournament (much like Arsenal in the 80s). They loose 3-0, draw against Romania, win from France after they injured Ribery and came against ten French players. I don't even want to talk about this night 'performance'. Good riddance.
Yes, I like the Turkish team: passion, drive and a lot of creative skills.
Btw, what has nine-one-one got to do with this?

I think you have confused a football match for international relations. Silly Italian ...
I don't give a shit about their religion, I want to see good football. Not this draw shit. Italians are known for flowing football, but they haven't played it since The World Cup.

As a diehard Italy fan, I will defend the very competent defensive game they played tonight. Their offense was another matter. Had it not been for those two yellows, Pirlo might have provided the looping passes he was feeding (the hapless-for-the-series) Toni like crazy against France.
Again as an Italy fan, I cannot see how Toni could be considered to have played well tonight. He was a non-presence. However, Torres, Villa, Santi Cazorla, Fabregas etc. were STOPPED, plain and simple, and I don't know what's better than that besides actually winning. Zambrotta was spot-on and I'll be glad to see him at Milan in 08-09.
The PKs could of course have gone the other way, at which point I could now be looking forward to even more racist rants from Panzer.  I'm rooting for Spain.

I actually used to be a big Italy fan (I spent most of my early years there), but nowadays you just gotta accept facts. Italy plays shit. I really wish they'd go back to their old game (circa 94) but I don't see it happening until they stop getting over emotional about nothing (much like the Brits). Anyhoo- Cosmos is back

Oh, and what is Cosmos?
Cosmos is a documentary-type show by a geezer named Carl Sagan that narrated focuses mostly on the subject of space, the origin of mankind and our place in the universe. It was originally aired in the 80s but has recently seen a DVD re-issue that is being publicized by the Science Channel (a cable network channel). Hope that answers your questions.
and led to a totally watchable movie called Contact with Jodie Foster

Spain runs rough shod over the Germans. Doucheland never looked like they were in the game at all. Lahm off at halftime, probably injured, Ballack injured yesterday in training. Schweinsteiger could not hit a free kick to save his life. Podolski was curiously absent. How many runners up is this for Ballack now? Torres scored a great goal, but needs to quit diving. Ramos lucky to not get sent off with that head butt. He was taken off immediately after that incident. Senna and Iniesta had cracking games. Downside is the racist Aragones wins.

4 in 2008 alone: League Cup Final, Premier League, Champions League Final, and now European Championships Final.
'Scheisse Jahre', as the Germans would no doubt say.

I agree with redish. Germany started very well (15 minutes); then Aragones switched Silva from left to right and it was Spain that ruled. Schweinsteiger had an off-day, very weak.
I think Silva gave the head butt?!

Quite right, it was Silva, not Ramos, my mistake.
Brautjungfer Ballack, come get your runners up medal.
