EURO 2008: Switzerland vs. Portugal Anonymous
Kickoff: 18:45 GMT / UTC - that's 7 hours after thread creation.

This is more of a friendly match, as the outcome has no impact on the tournament.

It is more entertaining. Who the hell would want to watch a team of 11 divers? Besides the Portugay game doesn't count for anything, they're already first and the Swiss are out of the tournament.

So are Portugal fielding a weaker 11? I don't imagine them Holland, or Spain will be wasting there players energies on pointless matches. Same goes for Croatia but I think they might field a decent side anyway. But I suppose it'll mean Cesc and Huntelaar will get a start.

more like: Switzerland vs. Portugal B

ronaldo, simão, bosingwa, carvalho, are probably not even going to play, and Quaresma/Nani and Hugo Almeida are going to be on the starting 11.

but Portugal still wins 2-0, their 3rd team would be enough to beat Switzerland.

Lolland and Spain are also winners of their groups. Don't know about Spain, but the Dutch will 100% send a "weak" team to play the Romania game, because it would suit them if Romania progressed. Better to have Romania as your potential opponent in the semi finals, than Italy/France.

You don't watch football much, if you claim Portugal and Croatia are better teams than Italy and France. OMG PORTUGAL HAS RONALDO, BEST TEAM IN THE WORLD! Also, everyone bashed Croatia before the tournament, and now they're suddenly a good team? If the system remainde the same as in the EUROs before, the semis would be two teams from C and D this time.

Villa and Silva were choking all the time, they got ALONE on the pitch with no one blocking their chance to shoot, they shat their pants and passed the ball to someone who had 3 guys on him.

Actually you probably don't Croatia are good side. Not many big name players, but they are a great TEAM. Reason Holland have failed since the 80s and England and Spain since the 60s is they're just big name players with no togetherness.
>> Anonymous
Both Holland and Spain heavily rely on counters. As soon as they play against a team with a proper defence, they are fucked.

And don't tell me Greece or Italy had a good defence in this tournament. They both just sucked horribly.
>> Anonymous
>>160938
Silva was afraid to shoot, true. So in the end Torres got the ball 2 times, with no one around him, and fucked up. And as Anon said earlier, winning games like this is really important. Teams that are really superior in the group stages, always fuck up later on. That's why Italy always wins.

So, Germany can get better, but the other teams can't? And still, I don't think Germany can get better. At least not much.

Also, who plays proper defense? Italy, France, Russia and Sweden obviously don't, so who does? Switzerland? Turkey? Poland? AUSTRIA?!?!
>> Anonymous
>>160952
Germany WAS better against Poland. But they received way too much praise for that, so they got sloppy. If they catch their previous form and improve upon that, they do still have a chance to win this tournament. Not saying that this chance is big, but it's existant.

Also, Frings rapes counters.

And yes, I know that I'm biased towards my country. Who isn't?

I'm german, and honestly, I don't believe that they'll make it farther than the quaters. Ballack has to step up, and the strikers should start sucking, what won't happen imo. Klose is out of form since the second half of the season, Gomez seems to be nervous, Neuville is no real alternative and Kuranyi simply sucks. The only decent striker is Podolski, and that says much. Right now Holland is my favourite. They raped both WC finalists, and their bench is deep. I see no better team right now.

Portugal is easy to beat if you lock down Ronaldo and maybe Deco. Without them, the team is screwed. Croatia only beat Germany 2-1 when the entire team (except for Lahm) played horrible, so if they manage to get back to form, Croatia shouldn't be a problem either.

Then they'd most likely have to face Holland or Spain. Like it's already been said in this thread, both rely on counters. Germany is very hard to counter, so they will have trouble scoring.

After all, Germanys chances don't look all that bad, imo.

Germany is very easy to counter. They've got a shit back and their midfield is totally dependent on Ballack, so if you lock Ballack down what is Loew going to do, break out Schweinsteiger ? LOL
