I'm all for goal line camera's. Also, with the technology we have now, there could be someone who could quickly review any goal where there was a suspicion of offside.

What's sad is that the only job the line referee should have done was watching the damn ball and he failed at that. Those fat old men taking decisions for FIFA should get off the hamster wheel and bring technologies to Football.

don't bring technology into futbol, leave it the way it is or next thing we know it'll be like basketball and eggball, with there time outs every 2 minutes for rest and such nonsense. leave the sport how it is, yes I agree that there are plays that frustrate people mostly cause of injustice, but that's how the game has been for years. if it isn't broken don't fix it.

Another amazing display by Cristiano Ronaldo.

This alternative jersey is frickin' beautiful. I'll be a few dozen euros lighter tonight!

respect for Germany. I can't wait for my Italy team to play against them.
Tomorrows game Spain vs France should be great as well.

It will be a great final 4..

Caspita · 06-22-2012, 05:28 PM

Germany finally looking like the team I've been expecting to see all along!!!

gary88 · 06-22-2012, 05:28 PM

Props to Greece for getting as far as they did though.

actually Germany didn't look all that spectacular today... their possession was good but mainly because Greece wasn't that good of a team and its amazing they got this far like mentioned earlier... too many opportunities ending without a finish and if their defense plays this way against some of the heavier hitters in the tournament that actually have offensive threats, Germany is in for a rude awakening.

Good win regardless, but I think Germany hasn't really been tested. the real group of death is the four that advanced from Group C and D... I can see those games going either way in both cases... will be interesting.

Go Deutschland!

Agreed....that being said they looked pretty terrible against Denmark a couple of days ago which was another subpar team. They seemed to have a lot of looks that they didn't finish, but i still like the amount of offensive aggression that they showed. Bastian also looked really sloppy today, and i still think he needs to be more involved in the offensive sets.

alot of people are saying Germany hasn't played as well as they can and they are simply just doing "enough" to coast through.... I can see this being true, and like I said earlier its hard to tell since they haven't really played anyone who can push the ball right back at them.

and teams who have, obviously Germany has found a way to win... interested to see Germany play someone from group C and D if they make it that far.

Soorena · 06-23-2012, 01:00 AM

What's up people. I'm in Warsaw, i came for Czech vs Portugal match and man it was good. The atmosphere in Stadium is crazy!

Here's my prediction for the upcoming matches:

France vs Spain
1 - 3

Italy vs England
2 - 1

EINSER M · 06-23-2012, 05:26 PM

les bleus nuls archi nuls today

go Mannschaft uber alles!

Bronze · 06-23-2012, 05:33 PM

Finally I get a chance to sit and watch a game live, and I get just about put to sleep by Spain and France. Maybe it was better for a Spaniard or a Frenchman, but for me, it was boring.

aizze · 06-24-2012, 01:20 AM

calling it now, germany vs spain for the final, wish germany wins.
