June 29, 200817 yr Holland were the best in the tournament No chance. When faced with an attacking team they collapsed under pressure. Spain have had everything. I don't like them at all but they were by far and away the best team throughout the tournament. The only team to have a great midfield, great attack AND great defence. Every other team lacked atleast one of these!
June 29, 200817 yr The one thing I was disappointed in tonight is that it showed honestly and sportsmanship in football get you nowhere: Schweinsteiger on the Croation, goes down like a sack of spuds = red card. Volkan on Koller, goes down like a sack of spuds = red card. Silva on Podolski, stays on his feet = nothing! Also, Klose could've gone down and possibly had a penalty but didn't, he was honest and instead got nothing...
June 29, 200817 yr Author Terrible game tonight and whilst i feel bad for my german bbz Spain were the better team on the night, congratulations to the spanish after 44 years of waiting...

June 29, 200817 yr ahaha nope, you're incorrect. Puyol and Marchena are quite possibly the 2nd worst Internation centre-back pairing in the World With Metzelder and Mertasacker being number 1 worst centre back pair.
June 29, 200817 yr ahaha nope, you're incorrect. Puyol and Marchena are quite possibly the 2nd worst Internation centre-back pairing in the World I agree there. Both are not very good defenders, they i'm sure Spain have only conceded like 3/4 goals or something the whole tournament? I thought bat ther first 10 minutes tonight though, the Spain defence were pretty good. Sure they've not got the best defence in the tournament bu any stretch of the imagination, but I thought they held their own tonight.
June 29, 200817 yr ahaha nope, you're incorrect. Puyol and Marchena are quite possibly the 2nd worst Internation centre-back pairing in the World And which pairing has been better? They've conceded less goals than everyone else despite playing more games than anyone else. Of the other sem-finalists they're better than the German pairing, the Turkish defence was awful and the Russian aren't particularly sound defensively either. Pepe and Carvalho would be the only one I'd consider being better, but they can't defend set pieces...
June 29, 200817 yr Great win for Spain, the best team in the whole tournament by far imo. Holland could have gone far, but they lost out to a team Spain dominated twice, so i doubt they would have beaten Spain in the semis had they got there tbh.
