Euro2004

riven133 · Guest

I can relate because I play Football. Everyone I know dosn't use steroids, they don't eat 20 hamburgers a day, and none of my friends are transsexual. That is ,no offense, kinda stupid to think. Soccer fans are crazier than footbal fans. I read in the news that a wife stabed her husband in the head over a soccer match in Germany.

ok - you dont like soccer - we see that, but can we keep the euro2004 topic to soccer please?

in the same way i find American Football INCREDIBLY boring, baseball o.k., and basketball o.k.
i also do not really understand handball - i know the general concept - but i do not know a single person from UK who has ever played it

holland - czech final
1 - 2 or maybe more goals - but i think that they will play a little more cautiously as it is the final

no surprise, portugal is just damn motivated

my bet is portugal - greece 3:1 in the final

and otto rehagle becomes prime minister of greece Wink

Although I have no doubt in Otto 'Rehakles' abilities to form and motivate a team, the Czech appear to be more internationally experienced and are expected to win tonight.

The final would then be Portugal against Czechia where I would see the Portuguese winning due to their home advantage...

My two cents...

Football blows hockey out of the water. Football is about being a team player. Everyone works for the same thing.

Yeah, Greece played it great!

I Hope, Rehagel will train the german soccers in future Wink

I know (some of) you guys like Rehagle, but I feel bitterly dissapointed to see Greece win tonight.

For my mind, Costa and Figo deserved something for their country and their golden generation, and it was a bitter blow.

Can't believe I feel so gutted, I'm not Portuguese... but I do.

I suppose the Europeans can't claim that the "best teams are in the Euro" anymore, it seems like teams the likes of Senegal, Korea, Japan, USA, Denmark and Greece have shown that there is no such thing as the best football being only in western Europe....
