GOAL!!!!!!!

France 0 Spain 2

Late penalty


Actually, did redcoat predict a France win? I need to check.
Warspite1

Redcoat's Llama luckily predicted 1-0 - must have thought he'd got it with a minute to go.



Damn. I knew I couldn’t trust the Dally Llama. I should have stuck with my goldfish. He’s not even talking to me anymore.

Warspite1

I had a pet goldfish once; he was really clever too. One day I asked him - what is 7 + 7 - 14. He said nothing. How clever is that?

"Don't rush back "... Now the wife is being optimist! She is expecting England to defeat Italy => Germany => Portugal/Spain!

Little does she know poor Chris won't see any "quarter-finals"... as if that mattered!

Someone has to told to Prandelli that you need players that scores if you want to win matches...

England played Catenaccio like Italy old style :) .
In the end a boring match IMVHO.

England have done very well though. They have been the worst team in the tournament and they took Italy to a penalty shootout in the quarter-final. They can't pass the ball, they can't control the ball, they can't keep the ball. In fact, they can't play football at all. To get so far is an amazing achievement. They have been outplayed by everyone.

Hmm, the English almost never left the cave This is not the fluid, fresh English football. More catenaccio...

Final Italy - Portugal anyone?

Germany v Spain final I expect. I certainly hope so. The two best teams in the tournament.

I would not be that harsh. They had a plan and could have perfectly worked. The thing is this is the maximum the Engish could do with the players they have at hand (I mean this British version of catenaccio). Chelsea has done a lot of harm methinks...

EDIT: victims of this style? Rooney and Gerrard...

Nicely summed up Mr S. We were frankly an embarrassment. Every time the same - Hart hoof upfield to an Italian (or to Rooney who loses the ball) and so the Italians come back for another attack.

Greece were slaughtered for their defensive tactics - but at least they meant to play that way. We had 30% of the possession and we didn't mean it.......

Appalling, thank god we are out because a game against Germany would be ridiculous...

We didn't TRY for a penalty shoot out. We were rubbish and only got a penalty shoot-out because Italy had one of those nights when the ball wouldn't go in.

Penalty shootouts are a lottery. Best way to end a game when the Italians can't score though.

I think England were quite content to take their chances in a penalty shootout for the very fact that they were outplayed for 120 minutes by a better team.

They had no choice in the matter.

Yes, statistics are horrible I think the 5 last times the English had to shoot penalties (Euro Cups and WCs) er... they were out. 100%

The Italians also were victims of this by the way. Last Euro Cup vs Spain and WC Final 1994 (US) vs Brazil. It is really a lottery.

And no one has said it yet. Pirlo is a legend. Penalty à la Panenka! Amazing footballer.

I mean that Pirlo penalty was a p#ss take on what he thought of Harts penalty saves. Honestly he said he spent two weeks watching the last ten years of Italian penalties and all he did was pull stupid faces. The Italian goalie on the other hand said he'd been watching naughty videos.

Just the one point goes to Warspite for guessing it would be a draw after extra time so no real change to the scoreboard.

Can I have your predictions for the semi-final before the first semi-final on Wednesday please?

Redcoat........22
Dixie............20
rogo727.......18
Zeta16.........18
Orm.............17
british exil....16
warspite1.....14
