The Official Euro 2012 Tournament Thread

What a chance for Croatia against Spain.

Should be 1 nil.

 

The groups are mad this year, The big favourites could easily of gone out in every group so far, worried now.

Rooney should have scored there. Not looking like the savior he was billed as so far.

 

How many of those does FIFA have to see before they do something? Maybe now its helped England Blatter will take notice.

 

Well played England.

 

Great result ! Together with the French getting stuffed, very good night. Italy will be better for us than the Spanish

 

So who do you guys think has been the best team in the Euro's so far? and the best player in the Euro's so far?

For me the best team has to be Germany so far, they have been great and solid. They are the only team to win all three games especially in the toughest group.

the best player for me i know many people might disagree but it is Ozil, his work rate is great and his link up, the way he spreads the ball around, always available, knows what to do under pressure. he has been the best player in the Euro's so far.

 

Best team for me has to be Germany who have had a good tournament so far.

Best player is a tough one but England's best player has been Gerrard.

 

Good header by Ronaldo to make it 1 nil.

 

Portugal will always be a threat to anyone with him in the team.

 

Cant doubt Ronaldo's ability and skill but if his supply is cut off(and most of the Portugal team are ordinary)against better teams than tonight he'll get more tantrums than goals.

 

Agreed, but he can still pull something out of nothing.

 

Well if throws 3 Tantrums he can still score 2 goals!

Only Germany and Spain have the ability to shut down Ronaldo's supply lines IMO. Germany needed a late goal to beat Portugal in the group stages, and Spain's idea of cutting of supply lines would be to hog the ball.

Anyways, you see Donavon's second goal against RSL this week? Goal was classy.

 

Greece are reminding everyone why nobody thought they'd make it out of the group. Germany could get a couple here. Ozil should have scored.

 

Greece are rubbish and a very defensive team but still Germany have conceded two. Kind of says they can be vulnerable methinks

 

Let's get past the Italians first before we worry about the krauts.

 

I know. It will be a really hard game to get through. We are now playing the sides who should be better than us. Its actually now hard to tell if we're actually playing well. Letting them boss the game is part of the plan. Time to see if we can contain the very top sides like that. (with no disrespect to France, Sweeden and Ukraine)

The semi finals would be a dream.

 

Well Greece always score 1 goal, then the Germans were already celebrating at the end.

I still think their big favourites, such is how they tore Greece (the fames defensive side) apart that 4 goals was wasteful. Also helps that Spain have looked pretty average so far.
