EURO 2008
Just imagine the best goal you've ever seen...... Then double it
not a penalty
The penalty was fair enough, Polish goal was offside.
Damn my bloody DVD HDD didnt record the Germany - Croatia game!!
I hear it was 2-1 to Croatia and there was a red card involved..
I've seen the goals on youtube but would like to know people's thoughts on the game ie was it a fair result of how the game went, and who got sent off and for what?
bak pushed again, penalty austria???
polands goal probably was offside though
Schweinsteiger, but it was in the 90th minute so no real impact on the match.

It was fairly fair. Germany's passing was woeful mostly (except for their goal) and Jens had a few calamities.
The red card was for a punch/shove thing. The German got tackled, turned round and gave the Croatian a shove/punch in the mouth. Right in front of the lino, and definitely a red. But the Germans had already lost by then.

Well, Portugal v. Germany quarter-final is on the cards unless the Krauts blow it against Austria. Either way, one of the top four bookies' favourites will be going home before the semis.
Portugal will win. Wanna know why? Cos they rule. The end.
Good stuff
My mate's having drinks tonight, I've persuaded him to make sure it involves staying up late enough to watch Italy vs Romania, then perhaps off to the Backbencher for Clogs vs Frogs.
What a match. By far the match of the tournament so far. A true classic that must go down as the greatest comeback in European Championship history. Personally i would of loved penalties but after a match like that you can't be too picky can ya. Felt a bit sorry for Cech on that 2nd goal but hey nothing taken away from that amazing comeback, wouldn't be surprised to see the Turks go far now. Must by a kebab today for sure!!!
Also, the outcome is the one I wanted, looking from Croatia's point of view.
Do you like the Holland v Italy trouncing of great counter attacking football or the crowd pleaser game of Czech Republic v Turkey in a cliffhanger that went down to the wire and had excitement to the end?
I think the Czech v Turkey game is so far the game of the tournament
I also thoroughly enjoyed Spain and Russia, that was attacking football at its best.
Also enjoyed Hollands wins over both France and Italy, and thought Croatia v Germany was a good match.
Turkey v Czech Rep. was a great spectacle, although the match didn't really come to life until the second half.
