UEFA Euro 2016 Championship [Official Thread]

oh come on...
This wasnt the worst Italy team of all time? I bet 90% of people didnt even know who Parolo, Giacherrini, Sturaro, De Sciglio, Eder were until now. Half the starters were Serie B players 4 years ago.
This wasnt the best German team of all time? Every position on that team is very well known and regarded as world class by many. Also, compared to past times the International scene is very weak so there isnt much competition for them. Only teams that could perhaps beat them are Italy, Spain, France (we shall see), maybe Argentina (?)
If it makes you feel better thinking you finally beat Italy (in penalties) its fine i guess...lol

so u r saying this germany is better than the one in worldcup which had lahm, klose and a fit schweinsteiger and beat every opponent with 3 4 and 7 goals? i didnt say this is a bad german team and lacks world class players, i said the previous germany teams, not only worldcup 2014 but even the previous tournaments which they didnt win still had a better team than this one! dont even need to mention the germany of the 70s who won trophies left and right with both Germany and Bayern.

and again, this italy was so bad that came out first in the group of death? and beat spain 2-0?? the previous italy got trashed by spain 4-0 just a few years ago. the weakest italy of all times were the ones who couldnt qualify out of a worldcup group consisting of teams like new zealand and costa rica. and yes, that team had the likes of pirlo, ambrosini, montilivio, balotelli and de rossi and even gatusso and totti if i remember correctly, but their performance was way more crappier than this times italy which had fewer names but more heart and more tactically sound and hardworking.

on the contrary, i didnt even bring up germany finally beating Italy or even mention anything on here, but i think u r the one trying to make urself feel better after the loss by saying something like best germany of all time couldnt beat worst italy of all time except on penalties

I'm really looking forward to watching Portugal. While most people aren't mentioning them alongside the likes of France, Germany, and Spain, I personally think that Portugal will at least make the semi-finals. They have an extraordinary midfield but it's for that same reason that they haven't been talked much about. I think this tournament will be a major coming out party for what's being dubbed as the next Portuguese Golden Generation.

SIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

God please let France or Germany win this thing. I swear if Portugal wins, it'll be the death of this sport. I might have to quit watching altogether for at least 1 year.

Portugal has to play the way they are playing. This team might get better in a couple of years, but right now they can't hang with the big boys for 90 mins. If they want to get a result, this is the way they must play, and all the best to them for doing what they have to do.

They don't play ugly, they just play smart with what they have. Ronaldo can't do it all himself. Besides some nice play from Sanchez, and the occasional strong performance of Nani and Quaresma, they don;t have much.

Everyone hears the name Portugal and thinks they have to play run-and-gun. This is not the Figo generation, Portugal doesn't have Figo, Maniche, Nuno Gomes, Deco, younger Ronaldo, Pauleta, Rui Costa, etc... anymore. This is a much different team.

2-0 Wales

[Bessos]

I will be rooting for Portugal in the final

[Tehranto]

A Euro cup win will cement Ronaldo's legacy. Huge accomplishment, especially with the set of players he has around him. Renato Sanches will be exceptional, however.

The Africans are playing like amateurs. Germany deserves to win.

The Africans lead through a bogus PK.

The Africans lead through a bogus PK.

It was a clear handball. Stick to politics, football isn't for you.

[KC McElroy]

The Africans have doubled their lead. TheWheels continues to flaunt his incorsetness.
