Euro 2004 Portugal

Kinda funny because I was reading a football forum before the match and there was a lot of talk about the fact the two teams had arranged for a 2 all draw since it would send them both through to the quarters. So, quite suprising when it happenedRune said:
However, I don't think for a minute it was a fix and I'm glad that boring, defensive Italy got undone - they have a lot of talented players but their squad is always so negative. Well done the Danes and Swedes!Diplo said:Kinda funny because I was reading a football forum before the match and there was a lot of talk about the fact the two teams had arranged for a 2 all draw since it would send them both through to the quarters.

That couldn't have been fixed. We were just not ruthless enough in front of the goal. we had the chaces though.
I'm not saying the game was rigged, it's just natural that the players play towards a 2:2 when there is the oppurtunity. 1st goal keeper 5 meters in front of the goal, 2nd one penalty (no reason for the keeper to run out so early anyway), 3rd was ok, 4th blunder.
But then again my tin foil hat is sitting really tight today

I hope Dutch qualify from other group rather than Germany.
Germany have to beat the czechs but theyve made 9 changes from the side who beat holland.
italy only scored 3 goals across the 3 games,, this is what let them down... they should have ensured that their qualification was down to them.... i *really* think this is a 'good thing' that a team who tends to be very negative , ie 'let in less goals than you score' rather than 'score more than the opposition' has gone out . . . . . . . . .

they even needed injury time to get the result to 2-1 ! sheesh !

1st goal is a contender for goal of the tournament, Jon Dahl hit it perfectly, the keeper is hardly to blame for that.
2nd goal, referee gave the penalty even if it was a little dodgy.
And don't forget the ton of chances Denmark had at 2-1 to make it 3-1. We (the danes) wanted to win, now we have to face the Chechs, my personal favourite for the title.

Chelski is giving Everton 50 mil for Roonski and 30 mil to Liverpool for mister pass the ball to Henry in 93 minute... (Gerrardski)

We beat England in the last Euro and if we play with the same spirit that we showed against Spain, we will beat them again.
