Isn't this the first time germany won all their group stage games in the euro?

Isn't this the first time Holland lost all their group stage games in the euro?
-
Woo Ronaldo!
-
Well there's a first for everything
-
in all fairness, they had a rough group.
-
Damn we're out :( germany too good
-
Holland seemed to have lost the will to play after they suffered the 1st Goal. They started to decrease their pace and their defence was terrible. After the second Goal I think they didn't even try anymore. That's not a very good atitude because they really had a chance when playing like they were playing in the beginning of the match.

Today is another nice final: If Croatia wins against Spain and Italy wins against Ireland, Spain is out.
-
Sad as it is to say i can see england being knocked out not sure when though but dnt think they have a hope in hell of winning.

Thought that was a legit link, then saw you were using IE. 0/10.
-
if ever there was a time for the optimistic rating, it's right nowToday is another nice final: If Croatia wins against Spain and Italy wins against Ireland, Spain is out.

comon croatia, always hated you but you have a chance to knock spain out,
i know, optimisitic and most likely not going to happen
-
i seriously dont want england to win the euro's
im scottish you see, so i will hear about it NON FUCKING STOP FOREVER
they still go on about '66, thats clutching on straws, but at least they have something to brag about, scotland doesnt even qualify for anything
-
Wednesday 14th august next year bragging rights will be won by either us or you
-
Am I right in thinking that Italy will only advance if Spain beats Croatia and Italy beats Ireland?

group D : https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...Hc&output=html
Edited:
france have a bit more hope as no matter what happens in their game if england win they are through
Edited:
actually if england draw they are through as head to heads statistics
-
Crazy stuff happens at the eurocups, as we saw with ronaldo last week .
-
we don't qualify because we're a country of 5mil. we have a shit league, that creates shit players. and we don't invest enough money in player development.
england is a country of 60+ million, with one of the best leagues in the world, and the money to develop players.
expecting us to qualify would be asking a lot. england however, SHOULD be doing better than they do. their leagues generates billions of pounds, yet they are incapable of doing better than quarter finals
-
Free food at work? Nah, fuck that, I'mma watch Italia - Ireland.
-
Gah, every time I forget when the games start. At least I still get to watch the second half.
-
hey man, it not just the facilities, you need the talent too.
look at brazil/argentina, they dont have big leagues or great facilities, they have raw talent
-
Spain won 1-0 and so did Italy.
EDIT: Italy won 2-0, not 1-0.
-
didn't italy win 2-0 ?
-
Who is expected to win the whole thing?
-
My bad, late goal
-
Italy didn't deserve to advance, they played fucking awful.
-
They deserve to advance just because there are 7 players from Juventus playing :D
-
Spain will suffer the power of Fourth Reich. If the Germans get through ofc.
-
I don't know why people actually like the Barca / Spain playstyle, it's way too much pass pass pass and no accurate finishing.
All the time they have so many options to get a good shot on goal but they want to carry the ball into the goal.
Bad for Croatia, first the 100% penalty was not given and then some chances won't get in but sometimes they pushed not enough.
By the way the german goal side referee is a dumbass, even in the Bundesliga.
-
I think Spain need to swallow a bit of their outpass-everybody-else pride and play with 2 strikers. As good as it is for them to pass the ball around all the time, they need some players who can actually do well in the box when they're not finding a way to goal. Obviously they got a bit of luck this time and got a goal to make sure they went through but Croatia were unlucky not to knock them out and go through themselves.
I saw the same thing happen with Barca on many occasions and I sit there wondering why they continue to just pass it between themselves forever. Just stick on a big guy who can win headers in the box because sometimes you need to stop walking into the goal and do it the old fashioned way.

Haha and I'm ninja'd...

This thread is useless, Platini have already said he wanted a spain-Germany final. So we've seen today spain getting helped by referees, the championship is over boys. Let's watch "Le tour de france".

I hate Tiki-Taka so much.
-
Looks like its either france v spain or england v spain for the knockouts. Why do my two nationalities have to go up against spain, there is no way i can come out of this happy. But come on england! i would be so stoked if they beat spain!
Just have to beat Ukraine, Bet it's going to be a classic england match. Pant wettingly tense with a sphincter clenching final 10 minutes.
-
Why is it never easy watching England? I just don't get it.
The reason Del Bosque prefers playing a formation without a recognised striker is so that he can play another passer instead of a finished, with the result being crazy possession stats and very few goals being scored.
-
Supporting Italy literally made me take a huge panic dump at half time. I didn't even know that was a thing. They were practically inert yesterday. It was horrible.
Basically counting on them being knocked out
-
Trust me I've supported Poland since I was a boy and it kills me every time they play.
