Keito Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 aw man, film that XD I really want to see that... by the way, Alfista - you can support your team and NOT be condescending or negative towards others/other teams as well you know... Hoping for a good match tonight - Hiddink NEVER stranded in the group phase before. Never. No matter how grim the situation was (world cup Australia and Netherlands for example) yet Sweden has a solid team, not the best IMO, but very solid nontheless.

.Markus Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 It will depend alot on which Zlatan show up to play. There's more than one Zlatan??? :o hehe j/k He will play from start, quite a gamble though as his injury's been playing up recently.... Anyways, I hope we pull it through against the Russians and meet that strange orange team in the quarters. ;) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/641781-euro-2008/page/22/#findComment-589493266 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDaddy5 Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Buffon's only moment was that penalty kick save and it happens to be the reason why Italy is through. Buffon is quite possibly the most overrated goal keeper in the game right now. I don't think he's that great, and I'm Italian. I LOVE the Azzuri, but Buffon needs help. With Cannavaro out to injury, Buffon has to step it up. He had it easy in the World Cup, but at least he's making some decent plays now. Still good to see Italy advance over France! That's twice now, and no Zidane to blame. Well, the french like to blame Matterazi, so at least you can't blame him this time either. Good on them, I can't wait to see who makes it past the quarters. And I agree with the assessment of Toni, I don't think he's the best person, but he's probably the best Italian for the job. He's a great club player, and you have to base your National team around your club players. Looks like it's going to be Spain next!

L3thal Veteran Posted June 18, 2008 Veteran Share Posted June 18, 2008 I am so glad the games are being broadcast here in the US. Tell me about it. I paid $300+ 4 years ago to watch Euro 2004 on PPV here in the states. Glad ESPN is starting to transmit more and more games. Before today's game, I thought the Netherlands would have an easy Quarter-Final win against either Sweden or Russia but my view has changed. Watching Russia dominate like they did today has me optimistic that the Dutch vs Russia game will be a great game. The Dutch and Russians play very similar football if you have watched them play, the exception being the game they had with the Spaniards. Many of us are giving the Dutch an easy victory in the Quarters, for good reason, but I will state it now: watch out for the Russians. In a side note, Greece lost again and got what they deserved for the way they played their first game.

MackTK Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Russia really was very organized in its match against Sweden, they were fantastic, many lost opportunities but it really was the match i most enjoyed in this tournament. another Greece anyone??

L3thal Veteran Posted June 18, 2008 Veteran Share Posted June 18, 2008 I agree. I really enjoyed the way the Russians played and it was my favorite match so far, more than the two other games the Dutch played well in. Russia is looking very dangerous.

I really enjoyed the way the Russians played and it was my favorite match so far, more than the two other games the Dutch played well in. Russia is looking very dangerous. russia dangerous? did you see their silly strikers... as if they are handicapped to score goals. i dont even know how could they score the other two goals.. any way. Russia will be a piece of cake for Holland. Also you said this is your fav. match so far. come on. be honest. remember the adrenalyn on Turkey vs Czech Republic game? that was the game of the tournament and everyone knows it. Even a brittish spokesman said during the game "i would not be suprised if a martian UFO lands to the stadium. by far the most entertaining and dramatic game of the tournament in many years" Now, don't do that! Make up something else, something less dangerous. I'm sure a lot of neowinians here can help you in the quest for your decent punishment. :) haha lol honestly.. if Croatia beats turkey i am going to go to the Croatian embassy in Turkey and stand there for 1 week and not eat anything.

Scirwode Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Yeah Russia is going to be tough Indeed, even I was surprised. They could have been 6-0 up if they put away their chances. I'm looking forward to the match between Holland and Russia, I'm sure sparks will fly! Also you said this is your fav. match so far.come on. be honest. remember the adrenalyn on Turkey vs Czech Republic game? that was the game of the tournament and everyone knows it. Even a brittish spokesman said during the game "i would not be suprised if a martian UFO lands to the stadium. by far the most entertaining and dramatic game of the tournament in many years" I can understand your enthusiasm for your team, but toning it down a little might help you win some fans, instead of alienating them, wouldn't you agree? haha lolhonestly.. if Croatia beats turkey i am going to go to the Croatian embassy in Turkey and stand there for 1 week and not eat anything. I rather you just say that Croatia deserved to be winners, if they win. Starving yourself just because your team didn't win is the high point of stupidity, not to mention that the Turkey football team could care less if you did it for them.

Pajter Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I partly saw the Sweden - Russia match yesterday. I agree that they will be a strong opponent against the Netherlands saturday. However, Russia had so many chances, especially in the end when Sweden's defence was ... missing? They should have used those chances though. If they can't score when facing the Swedish keeper, I wonder how they will manage when they're facing van der Sar. If our defence will even let them through. :p I don't know, I'm not great at these predictions. I just think that the Netherlands will have to work for it, but it won't be an impossible win. Hiddink knows Dutch football, heck he even taught Russia to play Dutch footbal. But I still think van Basten will have the upper hand. His players are just more naturally talented imo. Then again, you never know with football (and Dutch people). It could just be their last match saturday. :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/641781-euro-2008/page/22/#findComment-589495020 Share on other sites More sharing options...
