Who thinks Holland will let Romania win and put out Italy and France?

If Germany plays like the last 2 games then they will lose. If they play as good as they can they will beat Portugal.

Ssshhhh, don't tell the Germans that as I have my money on Portugal to become champions!

No way! It's a pity about the money though...

I guess Milan is right, because Mr. Lineker is right: Football is a simple game: 22 men chase a ball for 90 minutes and at the end, the Germans win.

Maradona (Argentina) or Pele (Brasil.

How many attacks are there in a game? And what percentage of them result in goals? imho defenders are invariably better players than attackers but because their job is not so glamorous their play doesn't get the recognition it deserves.

Check out the head to heads between Pele and Bobby Moore and see who usually came out on top.

Remember Claudio Gentile? Maradona didn't get much mileage out of him did he?

Has Ronaldo ever out manouevered Ashley Cole? Ferguson played Ronaldo on the opposite wing in the CL final because he was only too aware of who's the boss when these two compete.

Holland, Italy, Germany all better watch out for Croatia - they have a brilliant manager and real team cohesion.

In case we had some doubts (we as italian, i mean) we must thank Van Basten and all Netherlands players'
They did play.. without any doubts. And i don't mean that they would have lost deliberately, but they could surely have been less motivated than Romania.

Nederland maakt een zeer grote kans Europees kampioen te worden!
Dat is nu wel duidelijk voor iedereen...

(Almost sure that Holland will win this European championship.)

Ah, almost isn't good enough -just ask the 1974 Dutch world cup squad!

Yes... If Portugal wins Germany and the next rounder, that would be so awesome...

I believe they are the best teams at this moment, both are playing great football and it would be a great entertaining final

I believe Russia will win against Netherlands. They play a very straightforward and precise football, they can run 90-120 minutes without giving up. They're almost like Ivan Dragov from Rock IV

They can only be stopped by Italia

If Germany wins today, they will be in the finals. If Portugal wins they will lose in the next match. Portugal is like Spain. They show great soccer but never win anything.
