The only reason Germany got as far in the World Cup is because they were hosting it =P That's where their motivation came from haha. The Dutch are taking home the trophy.

germany on the back of a pretty below par effort and their only real threat reded til semis,i really dont see germany pulling through,they lack the zing and fire they had in wc06, other than scweinsteiger and lahm, looked very rigid and had no real flow in attack

 

the trend has been set, score first, hit from the counter, no team has been run down yet(counting italies lucky escape act against romania) and teams like spain and holland are destroying teams on the counter. the thing that stands out most is that teams with DEPTH are taking charge of the tournament, teams with more than ONE playmaker, spain boast Iniesta,Xavi and you know they carry depth when fabregas comes off the bench, same with the dutch, theyre so technically gifted they can play various positions-van bronkhorst coming into the middle of the park,van persie playing more as an attackign winger, van der vaart dropping back to CM when robben came on. speed in attack is also another trend, whereas teams in the past have looked to BUILD plays(or build around a central playmaker-ie Zidane for France in wc06), teams like holland and spain are breaking fast and using their prowess in technique and team structure to swamp defenses with ease

 

italy and france are basicaly out given romania HAVE beaten holland(though its hard to see...i can sort of sniff a "fixed" upset such that romania go through and the 2 finalists from wc06 go out)

 

holland HASTO be the favourites now, theyre just so WOW atm, robben amazes me and what can u say about their style? pure entertainment

 

in terms of a final, holland-portugal-spain permutations would be great, but with germany,croatia and sweden lurking...all hell could break loose if 1-2 of the faves go down in the knockout stages

wow that was the best game in terms of intensity, insnae finish from captain nihat to win turkey the game, unbelievable

 

its a real shocker of a season for Cech, losing out to 3 trophies with chelsea this season,1 on the final day of the EPL and in a penalty shootout in the UCL, now to be dumped out of the EUROs like that, especially after 2-0 up...sums up the poor blokes year really doesn it

 

portugal knocked off by hosts even though they were weakened, this does pose a dilemna, what happens when Ronaldo and co. are not there, good chances by the portugese but cannot finish, one hopes ronaldo does stay fit long enough for them to win it, he does hold alot of the aces,one of portugals weaknesses pretty much in every tournament/match recently is their lack of a clinical striker up forward, germany have klose(hehe.."closer.." xD), italy have Toni, france have henry amd spain have BOTH villa+torres and we saw Nihat win for turkey in a pulsating match

considering the chances u guys had...yer u shuda won, but portugal have always lacked that clinical man up forward, most teams are gifted with at least one(mutu for romania) or two or more(spain-torres/villa,france-anelka(whos a hack) and henry)

 

today is D-day for some teams, none other than Germany, who face neighbours Poland, this is probably going to be a gritty affair, but either side need to WIN for a certian place in the QF. germany to win 2-0 with goals coming late in each half seems to be the go, as the defence will get looser as the maatch wears on and germany have the big game players, though if germany go behind, it could spell trouble for one of the tournament favourites

yeah and now they play against Portugal and can go home after that

 

sorry but there's no way that they are gonna win against Portugal

well germany may well pull off a shock, i mean look at WC06 where Italy and France stuttered at the start but roared to life during the knockout stages.

 

for mind, germany have the better central midfield, and certainly a potent strike force, but they only lack a creative playmaker to link it all together. given portugals wing prowess, attacking wingback Lahm may be forced to sit back and this would deprive germany drive and creativity down the flanks.

 

i wouldnt be to surprised if germany try to deny and frustrate portugal early, then try to snatch a goal somewhere like Ballacks free kick, cause Austria relly did look the goods, but lacked any real edge to them and it was a pretty sweet free kick
