Sweden today. The Dutch are favorites, but I wouldn't count good ol' Sverige out yet. |
||||||||

jesus today will be thrilling! and a pretty hard match... very hard.. but hell, i dont count sverige out =D as Zlatan said in some interveiw "anything can happen, the boll is round" =D |
||||||||

Heheh. |

Haha, I just watched an interview on Swedish TV4. Some former Dutch player said Holland is going to win. So, when the reporter asks why, the subtitling fucks up and says "för fortsatta kärnvapenprov"!! <--trans. "for continued nuclear tests"! Then the subtitles disappeared completely. Heh, was pretty hilarious. |

what a boring game so far.. sad enough Sweden plays very offensive and needed a lot of fouls in the first 10 minutes which slowed down the game a lot I am afraid they are gonna win with a counter, although they do not deserve to win imo |

I know what you mean and indeed offensive playing football is weak and no fun to watch either |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

Indeed, this match is a complete tedium. What a letdown so far. They might as well skip straight to the penalties because they're playing far too cautious. And what the hell is Robben doing on the right? This game needs a few injections. Couldn't care less about it otherwise, I might even turn off the telly. |

What game are you guys watching?! Pfft! I say. PFFFFTTT!!! Gah! Sweden's been so close..and so has the Dutch. |
||||||||

is this what good football in your eyes must be? |

Oh penalties. Well congratulations then Sweden for reaching the semis. Another utterly disappointing quarter-final that doesn't do the exciting group-phase justice. So far, only Portugal-England was a worthy game. Let's hope the Czech's can inject some excitement into their match tomorrow. My hope is on them. |

Well the match had to be concluded like this because both sides were very poor tbh. I'm surprised Holland pulled through though. |

X-tomatic: where are you from if I might ask? |

what a boring game, i hope the game tomorrow is better. |

clearly he's from holland... you can see the former-shootout-failure-scars all over his melancholic prose... |

congrats dutchies condolences swedes... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thanks. it was a pathetic game though. incredible wel let those poor swedes get so close so many times. i guess they only played well against bulgaria. thanks zlatan! don't bother coming back to ajax either! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ibrahimovic is on the way out isn't he? was there some sort of falling out? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha thank you zlatan for fucking that one up! and cocu |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no i don't think so. i think he even wants to serve out his contract, but i think ajax will be very willing to sell him, since he hasn't scored that many goals (for a striker) - 48 in 3 years... cocu was the only one i had doubts about taking a penalty :) |

Im really happy for Holland... I was hoping that they would make it as the two teams that i support are "Greece and Holland". Ibrahimovich going to the penalty spot with a grin on his face... Well, he's pretty happy now i bet... ha ha. amazing about Greece.... Who would have thaught that they would have made it that far... And by beating the European champions.... WAOW.... Really Impressive... So was the after-party in Athens btw |

congrats holland sorry for the swedes in this MB |
||||||||
|

|
|
congrats holland for winning this lottery... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah penalties are a lottery, they doesnt show in any way what team was better... though in this case I think holland tried harder during the match to win... but then in the extra time sweden had good chances too I know how it feels to go back home due to the penalty kicks sorry phobia... and really, sweden scored some of the most beautiful goals in this championship |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
at the end it was, but Holland did deserve to win isn´t it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no... it was a very tight game... both teams could/should have scored with all those chances. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
imo it was, Holland played much better towards the end of the game Sweden played better and better but not enough to win the match (my view might be unfair because I am Dutch) lets ask our football expert ;) |
||||||||
|

|||||||||

all newspapers in spain agree that sweden didnt search for the goal as much a sholland did.... but really if it was 0-0 I dont think one was much better than the other... anyway, football is a game, and luck is involved... if everytime the best team won, then this sport wouldnt be so exciting... its the fact that you can never be 100% of the final result what keeps this sport on top in 1992 denmark was not going to play the eurocup, but due to the yugoslavia problem (war) they finally played the tournament, with no preparation, with strong teams as rivals such as germany, netherlands... but finally they won... "football is football" |

well putt nacmat |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
both teams were shit if they couldn't score in the regular time... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Crap!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
your sense about football is shit, and you know it :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
shrug, I thought it was an exciting game... obviously it's more fun when the teams score, but they had chances, so it was exciting... and I'm happy, cause I've been cheering for Holland! and about penalty kicks, yes I agree it sucks... but it's fair to everyone... that's the way it is... it just so happened that Holland were the lucky ones last night, next time it might be sweden... just the way it goes I guess! I still think it should be sudden death, where the first team to score wins... that's the way they do it in Hockey I believe, in the stanley cup playoffs and stuff (not a real hockey fan, so I'm not sure... ask Ophecks), but I guess there are more goals scored in hockey then soccer, so sudden death in soccer might take forever! |

Actually, I thought this was one of their more poor matches and the score doesn't really reflect the game, but that's what you get with such a deadly striking front. Also, I sincerely hope Greece gets knocked out of the tourney courtesy of the Czech Republic as they've gone far enough with their pisspoor football. At least it was a better game then the timid quarterfinal of Holland-Sweden. Sweden's dynamic duo Larsson and Ibrahimovic couldn't really swing and Holland played too far back, too angsty, which saw van Nistelrooy isolated most of the time. Robben hardly got used, which was disappointing to say the least. Plus I didn't get their "tactical" move of switching wingers, and moreso, Overmars would have been far more dangerous if he had started on the right wing instead of the mediocre van der Meyde who clearly moved away from AFC Ajax too soon. All this caused the game to be more balanced than it normally should have been. Sweden had some unlucky moments hitting the bar, the post as well as the Dutch who had their chances but did too little to really test the Swedish defence, so neither could rightly lay claim to the coveted semi-final spot. Holland-Portugal sounds more promising tbh. |

if Ljungberg didn't miss last shoot on the pole... now Italy is out, Spain is out and Sweden is out too. I've no more team to support in this edition. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I just dont want greece to go to the final with their ultra defensive system |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
stop complaining and go for the czechs or the dutch ;d i wonder what the czechs will do against greece. the danes hardly gave a good defence and had to rely completely on their offensive football (i only saw the second half), which created the space for the czechs to score. the greeks on the other hand will burry themselves in their own penalty area leaving little space to score. all the greeks need is one lucky counter and they're in the final |

lucky cunts :) we shouldve been there, with the gold in our hands |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well, Czech, Holland, Greece and Portugal... mhm... ok, now it's time to support Czech, go NEDVED go! Then Juventus is really near to buy Jankulovski (maybe tomorrow he will sign) so go JANKULOVSKI go! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok unofficial xlt poll, which team will take the cup? My vote is going for the czechs! |
