Van Basten II Posted June 13, 2008 Author Report Posted June 13, 2008 Great game once again with tons of drama, results suits me fine, it's up to us to get results and in worse case scenario we'd still be alive prior to the third game. Quote
Van Basten II Posted June 13, 2008 Author Report Posted June 13, 2008 (edited) Romania is in control of its destiny against a team that has nothing to gain, not good news whether you're a French or Italian fan. Edited June 13, 2008 by Van Basten II Quote
user0815 Posted June 13, 2008 Report Posted June 13, 2008 the dutch team seems to peak early in this tournament .... maybe too early ?! :rsmile: Quote
Van Basten II Posted June 13, 2008 Author Report Posted June 13, 2008 That's a really strong possibility. Quote
Alexander Hawkins Posted June 14, 2008 Report Posted June 14, 2008 Sweden-Spain in an hour! Come on the Swedes! It's against all my moral values to back a team featuring a Liverpool striker Quote
Alexander Hawkins Posted June 14, 2008 Report Posted June 14, 2008 You're a Chelsea fan and your nick is Red , it's like if i called myself Azzurri . I think it's amazing that he's a Chelsea fan and he's admiting it in public. Have been a fan since the early 80s (born 1981). Believe me - the modern Chelsea is pretty repellant, by and large, by you know how it is with 'your team'. If I didn't love them - goodness yes I would hate them! Quote
Van Basten II Posted June 14, 2008 Author Report Posted June 14, 2008 (edited) Wiil be fun to see Sweden play a team that can play offensive futbol. Great news for Europeans, to help you sleep, Greece is going to play the late game. Edited June 14, 2008 by Van Basten II Quote
Alexander Hawkins Posted June 14, 2008 Report Posted June 14, 2008 Oops, yes, apologies to all Dutch fans - I'm afraid that holds true for the Oranje and Kuyt, although (pace his goal yesterday), 'striker' is probably a little strong... Quote

Van Basten II Posted June 14, 2008 Author Report Posted June 14, 2008 This game is the boxing equivalent of a fight between Sugar Ray Leonard and Pipino Cuevas. In one side you have a very talented and skilled team that can get a little too cutesy for its own good and on the other side that only knows one way to go, forward. Very interesting contrasting style. Quote
Van Basten II Posted June 14, 2008 Author Report Posted June 14, 2008 (edited) If the ref was cruel towards the Spaniards (they should have gotten a penality kick at the end of the 1st half) fate was even crueller towards the Swedish with such a late goal. David Villa has to be the MVP of the competition so far. Edited June 14, 2008 by Van Basten II Quote
Swinging Swede Posted June 14, 2008 Report Posted June 14, 2008 1-2 in the 93rd minute. Ouch. Without Ibrahimovic Sweden just became a much less dangerous team in the second half. His replacement Rosenberg didn't achieve much. Yet it was so close. Just one minute left. Still, Sweden should have a decent chance to go through against Russia in the last match. But if they finish second, they will face Holland in the quarter final... Quote
B. Goren. Posted June 14, 2008 Report Posted June 14, 2008 Yet it was so close. Close is not enough. Quote
Van Basten II Posted June 14, 2008 Author Report Posted June 14, 2008 Russians should have done better in the 1st half, will those misses and near chances will come back to haunt them. Quote
Van Basten II Posted June 14, 2008 Author Report Posted June 14, 2008 The game at least was quite good, won't cry over the departure of Greece though. My top 5 1 Netherlands 2 Portugal 3 Spain 4 Germany 5 Croatia If you think i'm unfair to Croatia, ask yourself if your team had to play them , would you prefer to play the Germans or Croatia ? Best game Romania-Italy (Who would have thought that the italians would be in the best games of the competion so far) Honorable mention to all the games of the second meeting. Worst game Still France-Romania Best looking haircuts Italian team, they looklike guys who have passed more time at the hairdresser than on the pitch. Quote

As italian I am pretty satisfied: best game and best haircut, at this point I guess that Domenech would be very angry for the last match. Quote
user0815 Posted June 14, 2008 Report Posted June 14, 2008 yes, the most important thing is a good hairdo! the game i'm really looking forward to is the netherlands vs. romania ... as we have already discussed the dutch team seems to peak quite early .... maybe some of the better players from the dutch team need a little break uh oh ... and don't get me started on the game austria vs germany .... that one really scares the shit out of me Quote

sidewinder Posted June 14, 2008 Report Posted June 14, 2008 that one really scares the shit out of me Do you think the Austrians might win? Quote
user0815 Posted June 14, 2008 Report Posted June 14, 2008 Do they play the last matches at 8.30 pm? ned : rom - 20.45 pm (17.6.) fra : ita - 20.45 pm (17.6.) i think this are the two games you were wonderin' about Quote
user0815 Posted June 14, 2008 Report Posted June 14, 2008 that one really scares the shit out of me Do you think the Austrians might win? well, not really ... but if they do the austrians won't stop makin' jokes about it for the next 50 years i guess you don't know this ... but regarding football there is a special relationship between austria and germany ... kickin' the great german brother out of the tournament would be even more fun to the austrians than winnin' the whole tournament :rsmile: Quote
