Uefa Euro 2012 - Page 5

I didn't think Spain had all that good of strategy today, but no matter what, futbol at this level is so incredibly entertaining to watch.

Just one thing, before I go to bed.

I am truly amazed how Real-Barcelona guys just, basically, say 'fuck it, gogogo SPAIN' and leave all hatred behind. Notice how Fabregas, after scoring his goal, gave a high-five to the player from whom he received the pass, and that fellow plays for Sevilla.

I mean, Del Bosque is the most underrated person on this planet.

hate him or not, it was a damn good ball, and you have to give credit where credit is due.

I didn't see the high five. But David Sliva who did the assist plays for ManCity. And it was a world class pass.
But Forza Azzurri ! Forza Juve!

It was an epic midfield battle. Pirlo and Xavi are the only two mid players in the class of their own. IMO Pirlo is slightly better than. Also in the defense no one can match Italy.

David Silva assisted Fabregas for the goal and he(Silva) plays in Man City, not Sevilla.

And Silva is one of the calmest and nicest footballers around, classy on and off field.

Germany looked tired and uninspired. Schweinsteiger is not in a good shape, nor are Mueller and Ozil. IMO they have to bring some of those 20-23 years old Dortmund players into midfield+get rid of Podolsky ASAP.

Spain on the other hand looked really good. They have the chronic problem - lacking a center forward. It is amazing though that Fabregas is able to play that position and he's OK. Torres is a disgrace. Iniesta is sick good.

Italy looked quite good as well, didn't expect that but it was a close game with slight advantage to Spain, but no one can say draw was not a fair result. So far, Spain and Italy have played the best football.I hope France butchers England today and then we'll have a 3 good teams + a couple with good potential.

Is Goetze in the Bundes team? He is sick good and a great playmaker and assistant in goals. I want to see him play, he might be the next superstar along with Eden Hazard.

yeah he is and he is so good, but he has been injured the past 4 months and is not in shape similar to Schweinsteiger and Mertesacker

lol @ pirlo being better then xavi

Iniesta is better than Xavi everyday all day..jesus...

Pirlo is the backbone of the Italian team and creates everything they do - but he's nowhere close to being one of 2 best midfielders in the world...

Fuck Spain had such a strange strategy...
playing without a striker!?! sure they got a sick midfield, but it felt a bit awkward trusting basically that either cesc, iniesta or silva would jump up front...
Would have wanted to see Llorente starting...
guess that's more likely now since Torres missed one great chance and missed a super obvious pass and went for a bad shot instead...

This might be for the ROFL thread, but im gonna post it here lol.

this :D

Good damn it Sweden sucks. Wtf did Lustig do on that corner? And why the fuck do we put "Chippen" on the field, the guy plays in fucking Al-Hilal FC and even then they loaned him out.

That's right, Al-Hilal FC did not feel they needed him despite paying 9 million € for him.

ugh, sweden seems to be one of the worst teams this championship. Zlatan was great offensively, and pretty much was the only threat for the first 80min.
Unfortunately two mistakes by Zlatan that lead to the goals, same with Lustig. Especially on the corner goal, you have one thing to do and that is to take care of the 1st post.
