Euro 2008

[Shoco]

fuck yeah, pavlyuchenko backed at 8-1 for the first goal scorer 

[polluxlm]

Germany's practically in the final already. Italy will smash 'the quarterfinalists' Spain as they usually do.

Ah, sweet revenge.

[CheapJon]

I guess now when the netherlands also lost it's safe to say that sweden wasn't that bad after all

[Shoco]

man im so happy italy are out, they are so boring to watch, defend defend defend play a high ball in to toni, thats all they fucking do

spain and russia should be a good open game now

[TAP]

man im so happy italy are out,

Definitely. Justice was done 

[A Private Eye]

Glad to see my tip Spain still going strong, Spain vs Russia should be a good game.

Considering all the flak the England squad took for not qualifying for this tournament, it's interesting to see that of the two teams who qualified ahead them one of them has reached the semis, defeating the mid tournament favourites on the way, and the others were seconds away from the semis and then only went out on penalties.

True, but England still suck.  I would have been caught up in the hype of they were there, but honestly the tournament has been better without them. In fact, it may be the most entertaining international tournament I've ever watched (going back as far as WC78), even the poor quality matches have had moments of high drama. Glad the Italians went out, they would have soured it playing like that to the final.

Spain has reached the semis!!!

I'm so happy we beat ITALI in penalties.

I have to say though, at least 80% of the people here in Spain thought we were going to lose prior the game, more so, I'm sure that percentage increased (me included) the moment the penalties where about to start. Spain has blown it when it matter the most (specially in penalties) so many times, that this win was unexpected.

Now Russia, we beat the 4-1 in the first stages of the competition but in all fairness, they were missing their best man. It will be a nice game to watch for sure as both teams have similar styles. Russia's defense though is weak so we will sure have a few chances to score!

Viva Espa?a!

[kaasupoltin]

Cool to have Spain in the final four. And it's always good to see Italy failing yeah! I think it's gonna be Germany-Russia in the final, but you never know as I was sure that Holland would beat the hell out of those Russians too. Hah.

[CheapJon]

in the groupstage spain won against russia with 4-1 i think, it'll probably not be that easy this time around go russia

I know, I remember.  Then we lost against the greatest nation ever in the history of football, South Korea, in penalties too. However, the ref forgot justice that day and took the game to penalties when it should've ended sooner with Spain as winner.

Can't wait to see what happens this thursday!!

Me too, but Sunday would be even better 

What a match last night. I dont think any team has put a better performance than Spain did yesterday. Awesome play by Spain.

People are talking about Xavi, Silva, Villa, Casillas...they keep putting up stelar displays each and every night (I have a weak spot for Xavi Hernandez) but no one is talking about our defense. Normally, when people talk about the defenders is either to critize or smash them, but there's been no talk about Puyol and Marchena and I consider that's unfair. Spain's defense has been unbreakable and by far, Championship's best.

Now Germany in the Final. I dont think Germany has played any good in the past 25 years but they always win. I hope this sunday things go our way though.

Go ESPA?A!
