Petit is spot on. If you don't score, you can't complain if you don't win. I've believed that for a long time, even when United have been on the end of it (e.g. 2005 Cup final).
I always remember Wenger saying in an interview "sometimes in football you have to score a goal to win the game", maybe the French know another way :grin:
 
It really is a sign of the times. Somewhere along the way, the idea that "football = cautious approach" has become the mantra.

Portugal manager should be commended for implementing a strategy which they never changed throughout the tournament and it got the result, but **** me there were plenty of other teams that had the opportunity to go for the jugular and simply either bottled it or thought that playing the "cagey game" was the best option.

EDIT: btw this is also true of many leagues and the CL. No surprise that many established clubs failed last season. Where has this bollox come from.
 
Poor game to end a poor tournament :(

Roll on the domestic season :emoticon-0126-nerd:

Iceland and Wales were the best stories. The football was garbage. Just never got off the ground. I think Germany had the best team, but they lucked out against the French. I'll always remember the final for the moths. Says it all.
