spain cleaned up russia 4-1

 

and sweden overcame greece 2-0

 

spain looked deadly, but then again, russias defence was shoddy at best,never...EVER...EVER have your backed turned to david villa...well...for that matter...ANYONE wearing a spanish jersey, it was clinical finishing. defensively spain were helped by the woodwork and some piss poor finishing by the russians, but had russias defence been any good we woulda had a great match, this was probably the match of the tournament so far cause russia really put a pipe up the spanish, just couldnt score when it counted (at 1-0 down, semshov i think missed yards wide and then he hit the post from close range) and defensively so frail, hiddinks got a massive headache now i think. aragones will be thinking hes found the perfect strike combo after torres and villa tore the russians to shreds. Direct.Fast.Clinical. thats what summed up the spanish attack all night. but aragones wouldnt be getting too carried away, wasnt the best defensive display by the spaniards and the scoreline flattered them tremendously. A glut of talented midfielders that forced fabregas to the bench(and later to play as a winger), a strike force of Villa and Torres...have this Spanish team finally got what it takes to win?

 

greece...hmmm...cup holders...perhap the luckiest team to win a tournament...ever. sitting back and hitting on the counter may hve worked in 2004, but it was clear that the 2008 tournament is find the early goal, sit back and THEN hit on the counter as teams like holland and spain have done,thts not to say Sweden had the perfect game themselves.... Greece hardly threatened and need to be alot more proactive if they hope to have ANY hope of defending their trophy, though they could still pull a shock if spain let their guard down and with russias frailties in defence,anything can still happen

netherlands...

Wow! didnt expect that! great game

same to germany :)

 

well... portugal's time today once again ;)

 

wish us luck!!!

portugal won, good game, open ended, good finishing, cech beaten by ronaldo...again...wowww

 

ronaldo had a good game, a goal and technically 2 assists...i wouldnt call decos goal an assist...but some people are claiming it since it was ronaldo who did get some form of touch onto the ball before deco scored

 

portugal through to the next round

 

turkey V czech republic is going to decide who goes through to 2nd round with portugal afer turkey accounted for hosts switzerland 2-1, guess it wont be any fairytale for the swiss and austria like last WC02 joint hosts SKorea and Japan

germany...well well...beaten

 

i must say it probably wasnt that unexpected, but at the same time, germany were the favourites for euro08

 

germany will take heart from this defeat though, bit of luck with one goal, a few misses and a dodgey red card for schweiny...BUT

 

germany lack a real...playmaker, a person in the middle with FLAIR and a good passing game, ballack is good, but hes not going to unlock defenses like...Ronaldo with his runs, or Iniesta with his passing, germany today were shown to be lacking in terms of attack, decent strikers-gomez,podolski,klose and kuranyi, but no real quality deliveries to get there, croatia probably didnt deserve the 3 points, but germany didn help their own causes today, 19yr old TOni Kroos should be a good addition for future tournaments, he was a real startlet at the last U17 world cup

 

are germany tht short on keepers than jens Lehmann iis in goals? hes not the safest bloke on the planet, and given the young talents of Rensing and co. was lehmann REALLY the no.1? i know its hard to compare to someone like oliver kahn, but the bloke has no positional play and really didnt take command too well, some nice shots but the parry is a worry

 

in terms of the tournament and what this means, germany are NOT the force everyone was expecting them to be, no real directness in their attack(other than lahm, who toiled hard all day for no reward), their midfield lacks penetration and their goal did come seemingly from nowhere, while no doubt a threat to anyone who will face them, they certainly dont deseve the favourites tag at this stage, like holland(who have exceeded expectations) however, theyve got 1-2 games left to prove me wrong

 

right now its holland,spain and portugal who look most likely, but france,italy(assuming either of these 2 make it out of the group of death), germany wont be too far behind if they get their act together, one trend that has been set among the contenders and the also rans is the PACE of ball movement and directness and flow in attack

I can't believe Germany lost lol They seemed pretty solid versus Poland, but it WAS Poland nonetheless. I'm really pulling for Austria in the next game. Why? Maybe because they're hosting the tourney =P

 

Germany's midfield was a mess. They improved dramatically once Schweinsteiger was substituted in. Too bad he got the red card. Him and Lahm were tearing up the left side of the pitch.

 

My bets are on Portugal or Holland to take it all. Portugal, because I love how they play, and Holland because they're my favourites =P

the match was freakin good ... tension all the time imo

 

I'm proud of my country tho :D those smexy asses kicked germanys ass =P

No I'm not ^^

I do live in germany and stuff but (nothin against germany or germans) I'm never on the german site

 

I actually understand where you're coming from lol I may live in the US, but I never pull for the American side >.> I'd rather follow the Mexican side, even though I wasn't born there haha

portugal did mke semis of wc06 after making the final of euro04, not to mention theyve made the semi final previously at euro00, so i spose if history continues...theyre bound to win?

 

certainly alot of faves atm, spain were free willing even though they werent at their best, portugal and ronaldo look to have come to life, and hollan just tore the world champions to shreds

 

im kinda peeved schweiny got reded for something so innocuous, it was a shove, and the guy was cowering like he'd been smacked with a hammer >_> schweiny was really germanys ace up their sleeve like in wc06, although he hsant been in the best of form, he certainly added something different to germany's attack, possibly time to fly in Toni Kroos? if its possible?

 

ooh ooh, another stunning game tonight/tmoro morning(dpening on ur time zone), Netherlands V France

 

TAKE YOUR PIC FOR THE GAME OF THE ROUND :D

 

i think France if they click into gear, no side boasts more riches in attack than they do, especially when you leave wing starlet Ben Arfa and LEADING serie A striker Trezeguet at home and have Nasri on the bench. once france clicks, like in WC06, theyre going to dismantle almost ANYONE on their day, benzema,ribery are the key men, hopefully henry is fit so anelka can sit on the bench

 

however, if france dont click, hollan in a nice canter like they did to italy, cause frances defence is not that much faster, and midfield wise theyre not the youngest legs running around either

 

expect a tight abosrobing game, if a goal comes early, expect one HELL of a game

tonight is france vs holland, normally this would be a huge matchup but looking at their last 2 games, hollands looks like the favourites
