Toothiewabbit Supersonic May 24, 2012 Share May 24, 2012 (edited) Jap Kor 2002 was not too shabby if not for a certain divine bucktooth and the flapping pony tail. You got a point. I remembered sections of the press billed that match as an ideal final. The winner of that match did go on to lift up the cup and England was once again, the nearly men.

Yuan 6th Gear May 24, 2012 Share May 24, 2012 I support your reasoning! Since Greece gonna bankrupt soon, they will try to win it to get the prize money. Anyway Greece has won the Euros before right? Greece won the Euro in 2004 under a German coach by playing the German style of football (my opinion). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuan 6th Gear May 24, 2012 Share May 24, 2012 2004 iirc. Unlike the world cup, Euro finals have seen their share of surprise winners such as this and Denmark in 92. I watched the Euro Final of 1992 and the goalie was cool..... I also remembered the Landrup brothers then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acemundo Supercharged May 24, 2012 Share May 24, 2012 Jap Kor 2002 was not too shabby if not for a certain divine bucktooth and the flapping pony tail. yep....you are one knowledgable fan. that year england was one of the most balanced. but the fluke ronaldinho goal didn't help matters. and brazil went on to lift the crown anyway so england isn't that bad that year.

Scion Turbocharged May 24, 2012 Share May 24, 2012 i'm supporting Germany... young, hungry and strong! Gk - Neuer (Bayern) LB - Schmelzer (Dortmund) RB - Lahm (Bayern) CB - Badstuber (Bayern) CB - Hummels (Dortmund) LW - Ozil (Real Madrid) RW - Muller (Bayern) CM - Khedia (Real Madrid) CM - Schweinsteiger (Bayern) FW - Gomez (Bayern) FW - Podolski (Arsenal) Secret weapon - Gotze (Dortmund) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acemundo Supercharged May 24, 2012 Share May 24, 2012 Greece won the Euro in 2004 under a German coach by playing the German style of football (my opinion). i still find that win kind of miracle. in that such an average team could win just by playing defensive football. but they had luck on their side as well. i remember the semi final against czech republic, they were using all sorts of rough house tactics to stop the czechs and the referee was imho, too lenient against such rough house tactics.

Acemundo Supercharged May 24, 2012 Share May 24, 2012 (edited) He is not so popular among the non MU fans. Here a lot of liverpool folks and ABU people. haha actually hor, even though ABU fans a lot, the players are individuals ma.... i for one, is ABU fan, but i like him a lot. no goalkeeper thus far has such a commanding presence as him on top of the usual shot stopping skills. cech also has very good ball stopping skills but still lose out in the commandign presence. the only one that comes as close in terms of commanding presence is oliver kahn but still in terms of achievement wise, he loses out to schmeichel. in fact i remember most of the strikers, when one-on-one against schmeichel, always cowered and shot meekly. and the commanding presence works wonders to the confidence of the defence and other team mates to go up and support the attack.

Anyone but citeh would be fine. But he was one hell of a goalkie. Best so far in the last 2 decades. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin79 2nd Gear May 24, 2012 Share May 24, 2012 i dont understand why.. they got 1) terry 2) Lampard 3) Gerrard 4) Young 5) Rooney 6) Walcott. and still cannot win anything... Compare with Germany: 1)Neur 2)Hummels 3)Bastien 4)Lahm 5)Smitzer 6)Reus 7)Gotze 8)Poldoski or with Spain minus the injured Villa: 1)Casillas 2)Ramos 4)Xavi 5)Iniesta 6)Fabregas 7)Silva 8)Mata i highly doubt England can even beat the current Polish Squad too...which might be a dark horse since they got a few players playing for Dortmund and at the top of the game...

Scion Turbocharged May 24, 2012 Share May 24, 2012 now that Puyol is out of Euro2012, Spain's right back is their weakest link now (assuming Ramos is playing in his favourite position of center back) otherwise, Busquet may be a makeshift center back: Gk - Casillas LB - Alba RB - Ramos CB - Pique CB - Busquet LW - Mata RW - Iniesta CM - Xavi CM - Alonso FW - Torres FW - Llorente scary to think that Fabregas, Silva, Navas, Pedro sitting on the bench as supersubs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scion Turbocharged May 24, 2012 Share May 24, 2012 looking at how cautious RH is, his lineup is probably: Gk - Hart LB - Cole RB - Richards CB - Terry CB - Lescott LW - Young RW - Walcott CM - Gerrard (captain) CM - Barry/Parker FW - Rooney (suspended for 1st game) FW - Carroll dun think he has the guts to play youngsters in Welbeck, Sturridge, Jones, Ox Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
