[closed] Euro 2008

[jerrychoo2004]

Hmm weird hor why this year nobody talk about Euro here
anyway lets start talking football
yesterday Ronaldo has just proved again why he is currently the best footballer today with him invloving in all the 3 Portugal goals against Czech

[LiLiaN]

meh, no interest around here since ireland and england both failed to qualify...
and france is playing quite an awful game too... :squeeze:

[KoChun]

Jerry, are you deeply in love with C.Ronaldo? :unsure:

[jerrychoo2004]

actually i am more in love with W Rooney :o
C Ronaldo...see la how it turns out whether he go R Madrid or not

wah Germany lost to Croatia :blink:

[LiLiaN]

i know, that was pretty much unexpected...
good play to austria for their draw...

france playing today against netherlands, hmmm...
italy should be able to do well against romania but we'll see...

[KoChun]

Italy 1-1 Romania
Holland 4-1 France

Think it's bye-bye France.

I am still picking Germany to be the champion this time.

[h2o]

wah Germany lost to Croatia :blink:
2-1
go croatia!

[KoChun]

Spain 2-1 Sweden

David Villa's goal was simply superb, 90+2 min.

Tough to predict tho' - my personal pick for the Euro 2008 semifinalists' lineup would be Portugal, Holland, Germany and Spain - but Croatia ah, dun pray-pray lerr - being LETHAL UNDERDOGS tho'......:p

[jerrychoo2004]

looks like turkey facing croatia
and most probably portugal will face germany in the quarterfinals

wah Germany lost to Croatia :blink:

he loves Fergueson most!!;)

[dcrusader]

my prediction:- Portugal will face Spain in the Finals...
Holland is over-rated,
Germany is much too arrogant!
Turkey a bunch of, well, wild turkeys (did u see their studs flying tat day against Czech?)....
and France and Italy....?/enough said!

[jerrychoo2004]

my prediction is portugal vs holland

however i hope for germany vs italy

I think the format for Euro 2008 got problem. If I am not mistaken, Holland as the group champion could face either Romania/Italy/France again in the semi-finals. This should not be the case, it will allow Holland to 'lose' to Romania tonight in order to send Italy/France out.

I've seen Romania played, a quality team playing as a unit. They were unlucky to draw with Italy, should have won with the chances they created and the penalty miss by Mutu. However, comparing to the giants such as Italy/France, I am sure Holland wouldn't mind 'losing' tonight.

Holland will not field their key players, to avoid fatigue and injury. I read in the paper, van Basten said they will play the best. Everytime I read this, the team loses. Sorry to say, it's bye-bye Italy & France.

[dcrusader]

it's Espana for 2008!
i see the passion...the determination..the commitment....
and especially the bond among the players...
i like the part where David Villa went out to hug Torres in the bench when he scored the goal...true classic emotional moment...both are bonding well and creating chances for each other...very unselfish teamwork...
unlike other strikers who are basically trying to claim the Golden Boots themselves..Gomez,Ibrahimovic,Pierro,Van somebody...etc

[jerrychoo2004]

i agree with u kochun
the system is flawed
holland are not supposed to meet their group people in the semis de
they should amend the system to make holland meet the group people in the finals only

[Anson F-Clef]

Sorry to say, it's bye-bye Italy & France.

Les Bleus truly need FRESH NEW BLOOD INDEED.....about Raymond Domenech.....wonder how he's gonna face the blitzkrieg from home huh?? :sus:

[jerrychoo2004]

wahhahahah Germany is through and Portugal tapao
just as i predicted ;)

[yee keong]

Germany 3 Portugal 2

looks like C.Ronaldo cannot talk so big after all. Kudos to Ballack for the 3rd goal.

[jerrychoo2004]

yah at least he will feel more down to earth now
football is a team game
and he is certainly no God

[Anson F-Clef]

Oh NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Now, next to support - DE ORANJEMEN!!
(Holland vs Russia in the wee hours of tomoro morning - but I will still be asleep to prepare to go outstation) Go Go Van Basten Company - Go Go GOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

[Anson F-Clef]

O Great One, Have Mercy!!! Down and out goes the ORANJEMEN against the Rosskiys.........:crying::crying::crying: 1-3

[jerrychoo2004]

i predict last 4 matches correct but i got it wrong for italy...they lost out in penalties
oh well its still ok for me
semis prediction will be

germany win against turkey
spain win against russia

Tough luck for España IF Andrei Arshavin GETS into a RAMPAGING RAGE again :mad: Viva España!!

[jerrychoo2004]

yes it will be a tough call for that game but i have faith in the spaniards to make it through and complete their double over russia in this euro

as for germany vs turkey its an easy call as turkey is having a lot of injured players and also they have players banned for the semis....if germany cannot win.....i will never ever support them again :p

[dcrusader]

italia deserves it...for playing negative football!
with the formidable midfield quartet of Silva, Iniesta, Xavi and Senna (and not forgetting my beloved Fabregas).....it's Spanish all the way!!;)

[jerrychoo2004]

spain with their formidable strike force and midfield
they also cannot score against the azurrissss
hope this will not happen when they go against russia
i will certainly want to see some goals from torres and villa

[jerrychoo2004]

ok one half of my prediction is correct even though turkey is better than germany last night
but at last history prevails
germany is in the finals
hopefully today spain will overcome a confident russia :)

[jerrychoo2004]

ok my prediction has been correct its spain vs germany
and i take the espaya to win the Euro
gogogogo the Matador!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Anson F-Clef]

gogogogo the Matador!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ANDALAY, ANDALAY, Y'ARRIVA!!!!!!

[dcrusader]

time to cash in on my Spain Outright!!! Viva Espana!!!!!:)

[jerrychoo2004]

wahahhahaha spain wins...they deserved it ;)

[elvin]

VIVA LA TORRES, VIVA LA ESPANA.

Terrible Terrible mistake by Lahm, just holding off torres instead of clearing the ball. Mertesacker no match for torres too(almost got a header goal). Germany defence fail to deliver unlike vs portugal game. Sick pace and sick goal by torres. NICE

I thot he was more than a KAKU kind of watchdog all right - or else Lehmann I think would have garnered BETTER SUPPORT from the defence wall indeed - SPAIN was obviously FAR MORE on-spot in their shots overall tho' :D

ANDALAY, ANDALAY, Y'ARRIVA!!

[jerrychoo2004]

germany side i think only ballack looks like playing...the rest can balik kampung
they lose possession so easily and after the first 10 minutes ...they are lost
dunno what to do with the ball

a for spain....all their players did well
maybe there is some error from puyol and ramos but the germans are too lousy that night to take advantage of it

so in the end....its a very much deserved win for spain ;)

But really kesian lah cos the coach also never give face and sub out after first half. that was harsh. Finally their beautiful passing game reaped benefits after so many years of dissapointment(supported them since Raul Gonzalez's time) Spain was so lucky not to be redcarded. Ref was having a whistle blowing spree all night.

[dcrusader]

Spain plays beautiful football, similar to Arsenal's game....:)
that's why i think they deserve the glory...viva Espana!
even 1 up, they still kept attacking (almost caught by counter attack too!) whereas teams like Italy, Portugal and France would park a bus in front of the goal and throw away the key....:squeeze:
as for Germany, foul-:amazed:mouthed Lehmann should really let his hands do the talking, rather than blabber on how well he has played for German and went all out on Wenger..ungrateful brat!
he let in 2 schoolboy-mistake goals against Turkey and was not punished, but justice prevailed at the end! time to retire, old man!
Till Euro 2012, adios!!!!!;)

i think spain's passing game is more similar to Barca and Real. Holding the ball longer and patient passing waiting for that small crack to happen and then strike whereas arsenal play more direct passing and at a higher tempo. No offense, but thats what i think.

Lehmann has been all the while a sore loser in everything. Oliver kahn might be a good testament to that after failing to replace kahn time after time. Maybe he shud just lose that curly yellow wig. Jeez,....ts Fugly
