Re: EURO 2016 Thread
Bit shit that game was. Wales were the best team until the goal, then they sorta just gave up.
Nice to see Ronaldo get a goal and go level with Platini on EURO goals. Don't particularly like the guy, but he is a great player and I like to see them do well.
Re: EURO 2016 Thread
It's not been an exciting tournament. The Italy vs. Germany game was the highlight so far and for me that was only due to the penalties.
Actually I'm trying to think of the last classic tournament game I seen since Italy's 06 games against Germany/France. I'm sure I'm missing something. I don't count the 0-7 over Brazil, it wasn't the most competitive game ever.
Re: EURO 2016 Thread
Classic games don't come around often to be fair. Any tournament that delivers one of those gets thumbs up in my book. We have already gotten 2 "big matches" in SPA-ITA and GER-ITA, tonight will be the third. With the amount of "big teams" participating (5) you could maximally get 4. That's not bad.
In any case I'll have to wait a few years to make a judgment. 2014 was great when it happened, and many said it was the best World Cup in decades, but looking at it now it wasn't all that. Groups were pretty good, knockouts were dry. The 7-1 is memorable, but not a great game.
00 and 06 are my favorites in this century.
Re: EURO 2016 Thread
I'm surprised you mentioned 2000 as a Germany fan 
.
2006 was definitely my favorite, although I'm 28. I didn't really start watching every match I could at tournaments until around 04 (Czech Republic vs. Netherlands was a classic). I just have select memories of the previous tournaments, mostly of England though.
Re: EURO 2016 Thread
Horrendous for Germany, but pretty great for everybody else. England going out in the groups after beating Germany for the first time since 66, a marvelous Holland team, the French that were WC champions 2 years prior, Italy being their scrappy self surviving two penalties in ordinary time then a shootout in the semi against the hosts, before turning on a massive performance in the final. Many entertaining group games, big and entertaining knockouts and a great final. It's one of the best tournies ever in int. football. Probably the only thing missing is like you said, a German team doing well.

Re: EURO 2016 Thread
Daylight robbery in Marseille!
Germany are great but couldn't finish their dinner. Too late to call Klose?!
Once they get in a shooting position their composure completely abandons them.
Fuck me. What was Schweini thinking? What is it with these guys and throwing their hands inexplicably in the way?!
Great first half. France have been crap bar Griezmann. Special footballer. More flair in his little toe than the entire Germany squad!
