Ah, seems this time we won't be able to defeat England again. I believe Croatia was damn strong and is a good candidate, maybe the golden times of Croatia came once more. But from there to keep the 'creator of football' away from the Europeans is too damn radical.
Any team nowadays have the chance to win, happened to Greece last Euro...defeating us with counter-attacks and thick defense...good for them with their effectiveness, but sure we were out of luck, so many attacks and we couldn't score enough.
As Scolari said, Any team in the euro is strong enough, even the ones there are there for the first time, they have prooven their value for qualifying to it, so why aren't they as strong as others?
So..what's happening to modern football? Good players aren't enough against the best tactics? What do you need, a good couch and that's it?
-
As someone who dislikes spectator sports, I'd say you'll need a damn good couch to make it work.
-
nowadays we have damn good couches, maybe if England had Mourinho...who knows.
-
You might have a damn good one but I just have an armchair and it's barely decent enough to watch anything from.
-
Why don't you buy something more comfortable?
-
So I could rot my brain in front of TV instead of spending the money on something much more delightful? Hey, if you like that, I won't stop you but leave me out.
-
Croatia played well and I think they could make it to the final against Germany :P
-
Aren't you rushing a little bit? Yes Croatia is a solid candidate. Let the Portuguese flame their soul and you'll see us again in the euro final, but this time we're prepared to win against Greece or whoever..as long it isn't the French that always win with penalties.
-
Sounds like you'd win if you were able to. Ergo, you're not.
-
Yep, Croatia is definitely a solid candidate.

-
that's why i said they are a menace, look what they did last Euro :'(
-
England would have beaten them ;)
-
this time?
-
in 2004 and this time. England beat them 4-0 last year.
-
well yeah, off euro we beat Greece too, off competition we also loose with England :p
No, they do not have a good team, have some good tactical players and one or two stars but not much, not enough to brag about, so how do they win under such circumstances as the last Euro final? luck? Not sure, but we were totally out of luck, so many attacks and no goals... :'(
-
No such thing as luck, I'm afraid, they just happened to kick your asses.
-
what the hell? why is soccer score posted here? -_- kinda irrelevant to the question here.
And To you Myroria, i am not believing Oz is racist, when i went to calgary, even teacher was racist.
So generally, if there is that many racist in canada, i assumed there will be more in U.S. and personally met racist myself. So i believe i wasn't any wrong to post if just in case if anyone was racist
-
This...this is a new and unexpected level of silliness. Neither Myroria or Oz has even posted in this thread far as I can tell.
Ha! I don't know whether to laugh or to cry. Maybe I'll try to do both at once.
-
Soly soly, do you even watch football?
