Not a Germany as we've seen it yesterday. And I'm quite unsure who could stop them now, they are REALLY strong! Portugal may stop them, but in this case, we are thrown out - and so I'm against that option as well [;)]
So I hope for the all time classic finale: Germany vs. Holland

Unless Germany improve a lot this isn't likely, you won't get past Portugal I'm afraid. And if by some chance they do meet Holland in the final, on current form Germany are likely to get ripped apart. Your defence is far too slow to cope with the majority of the Dutch line-up.

Portugal vs Spain is most likely in the final. Holland 3rd, Croatia 4th. I'd prefer to see Ze Germans beat Portugal though, mostly so that Man Yoo Dancing nancy boy Ronaldo is finally off of my TV for a short time [:D]

I really can't see how the Spaniards could stop them... after all, Fench and Italian midfielders are stronger than the Spanish (not to mention that the latter always "implode in quarters"), and er... they could not stop the guys in orange [:)]

I hope I'm wrong [:D] It's always better to see a team that plays attractive football win [:)]

You mustn't weight that game from yesterday too much. If you've seen the games in the last two years, you know that Germany can do better. Against Croatia, they looked like they've taken tranquilizer and hoepfully, that's the last time for Euro 2008.

You are absolutly right about our defence. Even if it's playing good, it isn't something special and if it plays bad... [:-]

With Gomez, Klose and Podolski, we have enough power to score against Holland as well, and the Dutch defence didn't look too strong today as well - but as I said: Usually, you're right. But still, it's football which means you can calculate nothing - and don't foregt, who's the master of penalty and who's the nation that "if it plays good, it get's world champion, if it plays bad, it'll be in the finale"... [;)]

Nothing's lost, yet so I'm still hoping [;)]. Usually, Austria doesn't have a chance against us especially as we need to play good and our players want to shwo what they can do.
So we'll meet Portugal at the quaters which doesn't change a thing as we would have met it in the half finale otherwise. To get into the finale, we must beat Portugal - in which finale is unimportant...

well, we'll see...

ANYWAY, there is another possibility. In case Romania fails (who knows), either France or Italy would be on quarters. AND in theory a final Holland vs France/Italy would be possible, just like on the past Euro Cup. Both Portugal and Greece were on the same group and met again on the final. That would be a MEGA Revenge [:D]

no. This time, the teams of one groop already meet again at the half finale!

When looking through statistics you can see names like Yakin, polish bloke called Podolski and a certain Ivica Vastic? [:'(]

Jep, all complicated names compared to the typical croatian name Eduardo [:D]

Disclaimer: Just kidding And getting angry remembering that brutal foul which stole him this tournament

So, how the Cro-Ger game ended?

(disclaimer: im not joking[:'(])

It was quite interesting that the Croation fans shouted "Ustascha, Ustascha" under the game.
I didn't know that you still have so many Nazis in your country...

Me neither.

Very impressing prefomance by the dutch again.

When they hold on on this, theay will surely win. But htey played like this before in 74 and 78 and lost in the finals.
Hope they keep their form and win this tournament, after the firste two games they realy deserved it.

Absolutely outstanding football tonight between Holland and France. Holland have netted 7 goals in two games, beating the World Champions and the World Cup finalists. But can they go all the way...?

Nice to see Robben stay on his feet for a change and just rely on his skill [:)]

Can't wait for the Italy vs France match on Tuesday. Both teams fighting to stay in the Tournament promises to be a real belter [8D]

This Tournament is shaping up to be a real classic. Maybe England should fail to qualify more often [;)]

Odds of Germany winning Euro 2008 - 6/1
Odds of Historiker getting this thread closed before the final match - 2/1 [8|]

Give the politics a rest mate, and just concentrate on the football. You know it makes sense [;)]

Look at the twerp's sigpic... The odds are 1/1 that the thread will be locked.

Well, you shouldn't be dissapointed. It's German export after all...

Lets back on the topic, i really enjoyed in the game against Germany, while i can understand that this was depressing experience for German fans....

Ufff, Netherlands looks really tough... is there anyone who can stop Oranje?

Well i heard that some polish fans are assambling a group to invade England and burn down Webb's home... [:D] 

Well im impresed with Oranje performence[;)] i might even bet on them...

"im not into football that much but i also remember that Polonia stadium was set on fire by Legia fans" -- Przemcio231

Did they really try to torch a Football stadium (what year)? [:D] If yes, then Polish football hooligans' threats have to be taken seriously, indeed... [:)]

Today on the menu:

Sweden - Spain

Greece - Russia

---

Well, i predict that Spain will win and Russia .. draw or a win.

Place your bets gentleman [:D]

Russia will win.

Spain vs. Sweden = DRAW

"Today on the menu:"

I think I will have both, Zond.

In theory both Spain & Greece should win, but who knows... If Spain loses and Greece wins, then the last matches of this group would be quite interesting.
