From what I've seen they have a straight forward approach to the game and a more dynamic team will review them and break it down. Both teams deserved to win last night, and luck had nothing to do with it. Luck would have been a ricochet ball that struck the ref and ended up in the net, not 5 pretty well scored goals.

If thats luck then i never saw anyone get lucky in a football match.
Luck doesent need to manifest itself only through scored goals (there r many examples on this Euro alone), Turkey played much better then Germany but they didnt pass, so in my opinion they were unlucky.
As for Croatia not being dynamic, thats total crap, u base that analysis on what?

"Football is a game played by 22 men and won by the Germans", or so the old joke goes.

Well I am really hoping Spain break the myth this time. It would be nice to see them winning something big for a change.

it's not a joke, that's a quote of gary lineker

U are absolutely wright u all told me earlier that Turkey will beat Croatia in quarters on penalties after a real drama in overtimes i dont know what i was thinking.
Ok this is going nowhere, lets meet half way Rog and beat each other like real football fans do.

jole, you did well but you weren,t good enough this time - maybe next time. in the mean time, i,ll look forward to you probably beating us in the world cup qualifiers in a couple of months.

Spain just exorcised their demon.

[matt]

first time in a while where the best team in the tournament has actually won it, which made a pleasant change

i hope san's in drunken delerium somewhere at the moment

Not to worry, I'm surry we'll see a drunken "W000T!!!11!" in big, bold, spanish-colored letters fairly soon.
