Germany are extremely strong in PKs, so they'll play a bit more defensively, like Italy did. However, I don't think it'll save Germany. I hear some people in Spain think it'll be a blowout, but this will be Spain's toughest test in this tournament by far. Even if Ballack is out, I expect it'll be a close match. </p> http://soccerlens.com/forum/topic/spain-vs-germany-euro-2008-final#post-6917 Sun, 29 Jun 2008 16:53:31 +0000 FrankF27 6917@http://soccerlens.com/forum/ <blockquote></blockquote> 3-0 (Podolski, Ballack, Schweini)<br /> <blockquote></blockquote> <p>they weren't able to beat Poland, Croatia, Austria, Portugal or Turkey 3-0... how will they win 3-0 against a team that has played MUCH better this euro and beat better teams... and besides everything...

I did not know that!! I think Spain will win with a 1 goal advantage... and Germany will have a hard time scoring against Casillas!!

Turkey final because neither side to me was really unbelievably good. For me, most of the time, the top-tier nations usually lose only because they make stupid mistakes and lose to themselves. Sure, Russia played pretty good, but Turkey to me was a huge fluke. Just glad the truly well-organized, starpower clubs got to the final. </p> http://soccerlens.com/forum/topic/finally-quality-wins-at-euros#post-6756 Fri, 27 Jun 2008 04:41:07 +0000 Andrei 6756@http://soccerlens.com/forum/ <p>I have to agree with you, it is great that tw good teams made the final, but you cannot complain that that is not usually the case.</p> <p>2006: France v Italy<br /> 2004: Portugal v Greece<br /> 2002: Germany v Brazil<br /> 2000: Italy v France<br /> 1998: Brazil v France<br /> 1996: Czech Republic (?) v Germany<br /> 1994: Italy v Brazil<br /> 1992: Germany v Denmark<br /> 1990: Argentina v W Germany</p> <p>So in the past 18 years there have been three surprises, and that only if you think that the Czechs got lucky. </p> http://soccerlens.com/forum/topic/finally-quality-wins-at-euros#post-6723 Thu, 26 Jun 2008 20:56:49 +0000 Raed 6723@http://soccerlens.com/forum/ <p>Well Germany wasn't really convincing &#38; Turkey was basically handicapped.

What I will say will most likely cause some dust-ups, but Watching Russia and Turkey, I have to say, I was awfully tired of "Cinderella" stories at the Euros. Netherlands beat themselves, the Turks were lucky over and over again, and talk about all these Russians being amazing players abounded. But, the semifinals for me were brilliant for a few reasons:</p> <p>1) The better quality teams (Span and Germany) both won, showing Russia and Turkey that they couldn't win with so-so performances and/or luck</p> <p>2) Arshavin was no where against a team with star defenders (Puyol and Sergio Ramos stopped him time and time again) and made people (at least me <img src='http://soccerlens.com/forum/bb-images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> ) realize that he's not some superstar, but a really good player who can be shut down just like anyone else. </p> <p>3) A team like Turkey who kept coming up with Miracles time and time again is not going to win a Euro Cup. For me, football is about overall quality, great players with tremendous performances to make a final. I don't think Turkey had that at all, and I'm happy Germany finally ended their hope.</p> <p>4) The European Championship will have a final with two worthwhile teams that aren't flukes, have superstars, and it will be a mouthwatering match</p> <p>I'm sure most of you will criticize or whatever, but I want to hear your thoughts </p> http://soccerlens.com/forum/topic/euro-2008-babes-1#post-6578 Wed, 25 Jun 2008 04:32:04 +0000 Ahmed Bilal 6578@http://soccerlens.com/forum/ <p>will be adding more to this list and the site </p> http://soccerlens.com/forum/topic/euro-2008-babes-1#post-6549 Tue, 24 Jun 2008 21:16:29 +0000 RicardoQuaresma 6549@http://soccerlens.com/forum/ <p>I like the Portuguese one the best...you know which one I'm talking about....LOL </p> http://soccerlens.com/forum/topic/euro-2008-babes-1#post-6547 Tue, 24 Jun 2008 21:10:49 +0000 Andrei 6547@http://soccerlens.com/forum/ <p>how do you say "wow" in gibberish? </p> http://soccerlens.com/forum/topic/euro-2008-babes-1#post-6538 Tue, 24 Jun 2008 16:31:15 +0000 XerxesK 6538@http://soccerlens.com/forum/ <p>no problem ahmed. </p> http://soccerlens.com/forum/topic/euro-2008-babes-1#post-6537 Tue, 24 Jun 2008 15:05:14 +0000 Michael Tuff 6537@http://soccerlens.com/forum/ <p>nice one </p>
