June 21, 200817 yr Well Russia were by far the better team. Holland never got going, they just looked so ordinary, I really think they could have done with someone like Robben tonight... Arshavin has already said he wants to leave Zenit St Petersburg, so I dare say a lot of clubs will be looking at him... I don't think he's suited to the ELP though. Robben got injured yesterday :( Big Bugger. Sad note: this was Van Der Sar's last game for the national team :cry: Edited June 21, 200817 yr by SuuS
June 21, 200817 yr I bet Scolari will snap him up for Chelsea I've seen him linked with Arsenal, Liverpool and Everton. I think he's most likely to go to Arsenal tbh if he goes to the EPL...
June 21, 200817 yr RUSSIA FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!! УРАААААААААААААААААААААААААА!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are the chempions!! :heart: Аршавин - ты лучший!
June 22, 200817 yr I drew Russia in a sweepstake right at the start of the tournament and never dreamt they'd do this well!! GO RUSSIA!!! I'd love to see a Russia vs Turkey final! :D
June 22, 200817 yr I told you the Netherlands had peaked too soon! Although I thought they would wni this. :o Italy are gonna win the whole thing anyway...
June 22, 200817 yr Nightcrawler Noooooo, Turkey its very weak team, we want Russia - Germany... Russia should revenge for defeat Croatia, Slav Power :) Edited June 22, 200817 yr by AmaJazz
June 22, 200817 yr God damn it - is there anything Russia doesn't want to win? Well why would they be in it if they didn't want to win it? :lol:
June 22, 200817 yr I'm glad Spain won. They deserved to win. I know Italy had a gameplan and what-not, but it was total negativity, it's not what football and football fans want to see.
June 22, 200817 yr To be fair they've hardly cheated at all this tournament. Thenly real bit of cheating they did was Di Natale tonight which was disgusting. I think this has been a fairly clean tournament really, though there's been a lot of rolling about from nothing challenges when not hurt ut all 16 teams have been guilty of that.
June 22, 200817 yr I predict a Germany vs Russia final now, Russia have really impressed me, so Russia to win
June 22, 200817 yr I'm glad Spain won. They deserved to win. I know Italy had a gameplan and what-not, but it was total negativity, it's not what football and football fans want to see. How can they play any other way though? You play to your own strengths, not the way people in other countries want you to play just so you can lose 3-1 but the game will be 'entertaining'...
June 22, 200817 yr How can they play any other way though? You play to your own strengths, not the way people in other countries want you to play just so you can lose 3-1 but the game will be 'entertaining'... Well yes, but they didn't even have a good attempt. I know that's how Italy normally play, but normally they at least try and attack. They were just looking for a lucky break or something from a set piece, and all they were interested in doing was making sure they could cancel Spain's midfield out of game. Okay tactics if you wanna play for 120 minutes, which is what they did tonight.
June 22, 200817 yr You have to remember their most creative player by miles was out tonight as well...

No sympathy for Di Natale, rolls off injured then realises he's crossed the line and rolls back, then misses ^_^ karma karma karma karma karma chameleon :teresa:
June 22, 200817 yr You have to remember their most creative player by miles was out tonight as well... Well I thought they missed both Gattuso and Pirlo sorely tonight, but they have a squad of something like 23 players? they should have been able to find another player who offers then a bit of creativity.
