ladygooddiva

so
best match for me germany vs portugal:)
i belive torres gonna be the man of this tournament even i can t stand him
i am still so sorry for Ballack
so the WM is comming bec.WM 2006 place 3
now euro 2008 place 2
so WM 2010 place1
and this is really the last chance for Ballack
and i would say Loew is the best dressing coach of this tournament;)

well spain deserved the championship. they just ruled the tournament.

ballack needs to play better in those finals. he always sucks playing them.


congrats spain. torres was the man.

?ing my education

What a great tournament. The final match wasn't that great. Germany didn't even play like they deserved to be there. Spain dominated them. Torres worked his ass off to get that goal and it was a great one. Even though I like Ballack as a player, he did a lot of whining to the refs yesterday, didn't help his team much.

Any match involving Turkey were my favorites. Any match they were involved in was great until the final whistle. I wish it would have been Spain and Turkey in the finals. Might have been a more exciting match.

Overall a fantastic tourney and I was glad I got to see so many matches being in the US.

I dunno... sure he kept scoring... but that's cos he kept getting great passes... and always had the ball. He probably scored one out of every five sitters he had Ok, he gets himself in the right positions but I think Spain's finishing was dreadful for the amount of chances they had. I think there's somebody else in the midfield who's not getting the credit they deserve for winning Euro 2008.

the games i saw, torres was running and working quite hard, trying to create space and room for villa. he had some great passing. well the team worked as a unit. well done. xavi, iniesta, silva and marcos senna played extremely well have to say that i really enjoyed senna doing the dirty work, but i think torres did that as well. i think you could mention 4 to 8 players out of their team. they dominated from the goalkeeper to defenders to midfielders to forwards.

his tight shirts freaked me out :(

why all the love for torres as well?? i don't get it, sure it was a well taken opportunity in the final, but compared to how he played for liverpool this season he was AVERAGE all tournament, at best!

i thought fabregas was a star everytime he played, that kid is incredible. good to see he made the tournament team, & mostly from the bench!

congrats to spain, best team won, great tournament




now what the hell do i do???

1. he didnt keep scoring... he only got 2 the whole tournament.

2. he did get great passes.. but he makes the runs to give the passer the opportunity... his running off the ball is a huge part of his game... its immense and he puts in a shitload of running.

3. I agree... Senna has been frickin awesome... I thought he was brilliant through the whole tournament.

Hmm... I watched a good three quarters OF the tournament... ask before YOU talk bollox

So yeh, for someone who lost love for 'football' a long time ago, I think I did quite well AND I think it was quite a decent tournament... Turkey provided the most entertainment for me... I also had much hope for Holland in the early stages but ALAS.

I just posted my opinion on Torres... you don't agree... so what?

good points... I DID mention that he gets himself in the right positions, which obviously is a help... but I'd say of ALL the players in the tournament, he provied the most 'ah for fuck sake, how the fuck did he miss that?' moments.

well i'd disagree (but you'd expect that ) as having only missed one game of the whole tournament i can tell you Luca Toni and Gomez from Germany should actually have both their feet chopped off and their heads replaced by anvils.

Klose was poor, Henry was woeful... but Toni was the biggest duffer of them all.

Oooooohh fuck yeh! How could I forget Toni :eek: but I thought Torres came a close second... and you're right about Klose too :eek:

Great tournament! Some awesome performances. I was sure either Portugal or Holland would win after the first few matches, Spain deserved it though.
Best game for me was Czech Republic v Turkey as I was in Turkey watching it in bar. The Turks went fuckin nuts. After the winner went in the bar guys managed to set fire to the bar and danced in the flames. That's what i call a celebration.

How do Germany keep getting to finals? Extremely ordinary boring shite. I suppose the draw helped them out this time though as it did in the 2002 world cup.

I only caught the last 15 mins of that game... when it was still 2-0 what a great time to tune in.

It was the only exciting part of the game! The bar was deathly quite and then mayhem set in. If they are in the next world cup I'll have to go again.:D
