Headlines - Who will you be backing at Euro 2008?

[manwithnoname]

One thing I don't understand is why did they not put on Robben? He has played very well in the last couple of games.

Seconded. That really suprised me, he's such a playmaker for them, how could Van Basten, leave him out of it?

He was injured in training, not even on the bench last night. Russia looked really good attacking last night but very poor defending - I got a feeling Italy might win this if they get through against Spain.

I have to say today was a victory for football and not just Spain. Italy so so negative, practically playing for penalties from the beginning and diving everywhere cheating.
Finally, the sour taste left after the last world cup when cheats prevailed is gone and I can look forward to a football match in the semi finals (Russia vs Spain).

Zzzzz.

got to say tonights match was boring.
Germany vs Turkey
Russia vs Spain

Both should be interesting matches.

Cracking first half, if you people are not watching the game, you should be.

Missed the first 18 min (came home late from gym)
Fantastic so far and both definitely worthy of winning.

Anyway, back to watch the 2nd half thats just started!

[Parm]

Cracking game! 2-2 now, game on!

Come on Turkey, I'd love to see a Turkey vs Russia final

Come on Turkey, I'd love to see a Turkey vs Russia final

I would too, but sadly Germany stole the game at the last min. Still Turkey were excellent and provided great energy to the game.

I hope Russia wins tomorrow!

[shadowmaster]

Heartbreaking....I so wanted the Turks to go through. They played like exceptionally well considering their injuries and they were so so unlucky not to win. They were the better side, but as usual the Germans get through. If only England played with as much passion as the Turks....

Tomorrow's match should be another cracker.

[Parm]

Aw shucks! Nevermind, the Turk's luck had to come to an end at some point, they'd already snatched one game too many. As for Germany, even though they were below par, you always suspected that they'd somehow get out of it. Cracking game for the neutral though

Tomorrow's game should be good, but Spain have been a bit average so far. Can't remember them playing particularly well in their previous games.

I'll be rooting for Russia as I like seeing the underdog do well. Hope it's another great game.

[Colossous]

The wrong team went through and will now probably win it !

[!TIMMY!]

I hope they don't they havnt pld well enough tbh.

[Blitzen]

The wrong team went through and will now probably win it !

How did the wrong team go through?
The Germans won in normal time............

[shadowmaster]

Well not the 'cracker' I was expecting but a good game. Spain at the end of the day were just too good for the Russians, but still well played to the Russians, getting to the semi final is no easy task. And it would be nice if their was a third place match between Russia and Turkey.

The final should be interesting, tbh I have no idea who will win but I am edging towards the Spanish because the German defence looks dodgy, and Fabregas (who should start now) is on form.

[shadowmaster]

Now England are the only big nation that has not won anything in the last 42 years.

Not the final I had imagined, Spain played well, and the Germans bottled it.

[grayg1]

So what do I win?
