Ossie's goals..

Looking at Spurs play back then we were some team...

But of course no goal can -possibly- surpass... er... Maradona's goal... 1986. Although you were on the receiving end, eh...

It has everything... especially countries rivalry (first match between the two countries after the Falklands War if I remember correctly). And after all they got the WC that year: the infamous Maradona's hand that is [:D]

That goal was quite simply, sheer. football. genius. Maradona won the World Cup almost single-handed (and unlike 1978 this win was not tainted by the stench of bribery and match fixing). The fact he scored that cheated "goal" in the same match, obviously over-shadows the victory somewhat (certainly as far as the English are concerned) but cannot take away what Maradona achieved in 1986. One of the all-time greats of the game.

Denmark 1 Germany 1
Netherlands 1 Portugal 0

At the moment, Germany and Denmark are going through.



shunwick -> RE: European Championships (6/17/2012 8:14:38 PM)

29 mins

Denmark 1 Germany 1
Netherlands 1 Portugal 1

At the moment, Germany and Portugal are going through.



shunwick -> RE: European Championships (6/17/2012 8:31:28 PM)

Half-Time

Denmark 1 Germany 1
Netherlands 1 Portugal 1

At the moment, Germany and Portugal are going through.

I don't know what the Netherlands and Portugal game is like but the Denmark - Germany game is a cracker.



warspite1 -> RE: European Championships (6/17/2012 8:37:45 PM)

Portugal vs Holland is a good game, Holland were all over Portugal but the Portugese have come right back into it and more.... Holland are out, I cannot see them scoring two.

Interesting fact: did you know Denmark are managed by Harry Potter in his later years?

Radio report says Dutch look as if they have given up after equaliser.



TulliusDetritus -> RE: European Championships (6/17/2012 8:42:10 PM)

Arrgggghh! The Dutch coach has finally made it: destroying the beautiful Dutch football philosophy. The last time we saw the "amazing" Holland was in the last Euro Cup (and right, the Russians kicked them out the same).

Now what do we have? They abandoned the über offensive football... but they haven't learned yet how to properly defend! [:@] A poor defence you can more or less afford if you manage to score a lot of goals... but if you score less (as per now) it's indeed a problem [:D]

P.S.: and right, I know this new philosophy could have won them a world cup (the last one). And that's the problem: now they have to think this is the right way.

That's about right.

Jacob Poulsen misses a sitter. Denmark were so close ...

Netherlands 1 Portugal 2

The Danes have no bloody choice. They have to throw everything they have at Germany.




shunwick -> RE: European Championships (6/17/2012 9:22:51 PM)

Denmark 1 Germany 2

10 minutes left. It may be all over for Denmark. They have to score twice in the final 10 minutes. But Germany look the better side. They have had the best pressure all the game.




Orm -> RE: European Championships (6/17/2012 9:24:02 PM)

Looks like Germany and Portagal from this group.



shunwick -> RE: European Championships (6/17/2012 9:29:07 PM)

It does. Germany are worth the 2-1 win. They have been the better side. I think that you can score goals against them though. They have had defensive problems.

Netherlands on nil points! They lost a lot a friends at the world cup final. That has to be shocking for the Dutch.



warspite1 -> RE: European Championships (6/17/2012 9:29:18 PM)

Denmark very unlucky - just before the German goal they had a clear shout for a penalty - Germans very lucky to get away with that.....

Final Scores;

Denmark 1 Germany 2
Netherlands 1 Portugal 2

Germany and Portugal go through.

Quarter-Finals

Germany v Greece
Portugal v Czech Republic



TulliusDetritus -> RE: European Championships (6/17/2012 9:39:25 PM)

Netherlands. Officially the second best team in the world (as per world cup). 3 matches. 0 points. Out. P a t h e t i c [8D]



shunwick -> RE: European Championships (6/17/2012 9:40:15 PM)

From what I've heard so far, Germany and Spain have barely broke into a sweat.

That's a shocker for Netherlands. I mean really bad. I know this was a tough group but....

100% for everyone on the Germany vs Denmark result (although no one got the score right). But rogo got a point for being the only one to predict a Portugese win.

Redcoat...... 15
Dixie...........13
Orm............11
rogo727.......11
Zeta 16........10
british exil....9
warspite1.....6



warspite1 -> RE: European Championships (6/17/2012 9:45:13 PM)

Right I hope everyone is still tuning in to these. The first Quarter Final I think is on Thursday so I need the predictions for the QF's before kick-off of the first one.

Quarter-Finals (so far)

Portugal v Czech Republic

Germany v Greece



shunwick -> RE: European Championships (6/17/2012 9:45:53 PM)

Germany versus Greece could be a fiery match.

Greek election was very close....
