Euro 2008!

[Ali.]

Wow, that was amazing. I felt kinda' sorry for Cech (the goalkeeper) though, on the last two goals he got a touch on both of them, a slightly stronger touch and he probably would've saved them - gutted.
Ah well, Turkey put on a good show, I thoroughly enjoyed it. What the hell was their goalkeeper thinking right at the end?! Three minutes to go and he gets a red - that's just plain foolish.

[Al-Zaara]

ITs JUST unbelievable I already Gave my Hope on them But NO they Just score 3 goals in 15 minutes AMAZIN But I must say What AN Blunder from one of the worlds best goalkeeper Chech But that doesnt matter they are OUT !!!

Oh yes, he was really good that Chech goalkeeper, hands down! He was the only reason my hopes went low. But I had faith in the Turks, last game it was a similiar situation, last minute goal!!

What the hell was their goalkeeper thinking right at the end?! Three minutes to go and he gets a red - that's just plain foolish.

I know.

Hey, that Swedish judge was very easy with his yellow cards and those Chech players were such drama queens during the whole game (apart from the last 15 minutes)! They were jumping all over the place over just one little touch!

[Güven]

Plus, Swiss defeated Portuguese 2-0, and the scorer is a Turk too...

They were Crazy Last Night here In holland Thousands of Turks were On the street :D
But I feel just Like You , I dont want to be patriotic also but Im a LITTLE happy that turkey Won + they are An Islamic Country + they defeated A team With The Most Unbelievers in the euro2008 (60% was Atheist btw) :D

[Europe]

I hope Germany will winn. Also holland is strong, they scored 7 points and overplayed two very strong teams. Then Spain has big chances, they have the best scorer.
At most I hate Turkey because I don't know why they even compete on UEFA CS and 95% of their teritory is in Asia. Thank God there isn't Israel, 1000 km away from nearest European teritory. But anyway Croatia and germany are my faovurite ones.

[north_malaysian]

At most I hate Turkey because I don't know why they even compete on UEFA CS and 95% of their teritory is in Asia.

How about Russia, 2/3 of its territory is in Asia...

Cyprus ... it's 100% in Asia (it's too near to the Asian part of Turkey)...and part of EU.

Thank God there isn't Israel, 1000 km away from nearest European teritory.

Israel cannot compete as an Asian country as many Asian countries (especially Arab and Muslim majority) dont have diplomatic relationship with Israel.

[north_malaysian]

Many of my friends congrats me yesterday as I'm the only person they've known that is supporting Turkey..

I was like...."yeah, thanks..but I'm not a Turkish":exhausted

[The_Prince]

the winners will be croatia :) i said this before the tournament even began, i am staying with this pick. im not with them, but thats what i feel, i want the Turks to beat them though..........hopefully my prediction which is working splendidly goes wrong.

OOOH OOOH this is goin baaad For France Why WHY
Red CArd and A Goal for Italy why :cry::raging:

'Cause Italians are drama queens.

Darn it, Abidal did nothing!! That was so unfair, first a great player like Riberi out and then they of course got another good player off the game. What a strategy.

If Romania wins the game against Holland, then even though Italy wins against France, Italy won't go on 'cause they'd be one point behind Romania, right?

[Ali.]

right?

Right.

[Güven]

'Cause Italians are drama queens.

I dont Want Italians To go To the next round Its France Or Romania for me:D

Yeah. Ribery turns over Gianluca Zambrotta, gets injured. Just 10 minutes of playing the match he gets changed.

NO.. Italy is leading with 2 - 0.

[Mikayeel]

edit

[Güven]

BTW HOLLAND Keeps Crushing his Opponents 2-0 and its not even their strongest team Unbelievable

[Al-Zaara]

Italy won.

The game just lost it's taste when France had to play with one player less and Ribery got hurt. I believe they would have played much better otherwise.

[Mikayeel]

BTW HOLLAND Keeps Crushing his Opponents 2-0 and its not even their strongest team Unbelievable

Very well said! A player deserves to be called world class when he can perform when it matters.

[Cabdullahi]

Very well said! A player deserves to be called world class when he can perform when it matters.

Ronaldo is good but the only reason he scored 30 premiership goals is because he has good players around him who provide,its the same with adebayor who scored 24 hes got good players around him and when he was at monaco he scored 2 goals for like the whole season,all im saying is to be called world's best you need to perfom well more than atleast 2 seasons

[Güven]

Croatia had SUCH a chance.. I held my breath, but thankgoodness..

It's too frustrating to watch! The Turkish players don't even seem to know what to DO with the ball! Hello, they just keep throwing it back, back to the goalkeeper instead of moving forward!

[Ali.]

Into Extra Time now; very tense. I reckon it'll go into penalty's unless Turkey summon up one of their miracle comebacks.

[Mikayeel]

:sl:

I hope for penalties! :) They r nice

[ayesha309]

a surprise victory for turkey, but wot do they have left for germany??? soo many players are suspended

[KAding]

In the past I was generally in favour of the Turks during football matches. Now I hope they never win a game again! The half-arsed "tradition" of driving through town and honking until 4 o'clock in the morning is not something I can particularly appreciate. I live right in front of a traffic light and, trust me, after a few hours it gets on your nerves!!! :raging:

Add then Albanians aswell to your list. They do exactly the same.

When Finns win a game in any sport (in my neighbourhood), I have to go through them singing their merry songs for hours, from all sides, until they are knocking on our door for some weird reasons frequently during the night.
Then they all pass out and when I'm wanting to go out in the monring, I gotta be careful I don't kill anybody with my heels! ;D So hilarious.


GOODNIGHT all. I'm gonna sleep well, inshaAllah. :D :D Selam aleykum and peace!

Ohhh, I like it when they continue with extra time. Hope they do that! :D

I laughed by the way when they replayed Van Basten swearing in english ;D! Isn't he a Dutch speaker? Lol.

By the way, my Dutch bro's (yes Güven & raOnar I'm looking at you two), what does "Van" in Dutch mean? It's very commonly used between the Dutch; is it the same as "Al" in Arabic:?

[Güven]

^LOL his english is fiunny
Btw Van means From :D

[Al-Zaara]

It's like die Deutsche 'von'. Meaning from.

edit: Oops, you didn't ask me! You asked the brothers! :p Sorry.

Oh? Cool.

So... could you translate Ruud Van Nistlerooy please as an example?

Or Van Der Vaart (I'm guessing that's From The [something])?

[Güven]

I speak fluent German and as Dutch is quite similiar, I assumed it meant the same. These linguistic issues remind me of Swedish (which I speak fluenty) and Danish/Norwegian, some things are very easy to figure out.

3-1 to Russia - Holland were strong favourites to win this competition; it just shows it can go all ways. No doubt that Russia deserved to win but I think the Dutch team got drunk the night before or something... OK I'm just trying to make up excuses now but obviously something was wrong.

My prediction. :)

LOL I tought So And I was searching To the pages when I did say that ;D

Guys, the dutch coach is largely to blame!

Why the holy chickens, did he not put robben in??? He deserves the SACK!!!

LOOOOOL Holy chickens ;D Yep He made alots of mistakes since He got coach of Holland So It doesnt realy suprise me :)

[Al-Zaara]

I think it has to do with the drama around Boulahrouz

For him, yes, it's most possible! But not for the whole team, that I doubt.

I think it mostly is 'cause people put so high expectations on Holland, when it didn't match the whole truth and they met a team very much underestimated like Russia, and had to face reality.

Opps, sorry brother Ali! Please excuse me inshaAllah, it's past midnight. :-[

I never predict the result. Note that I haven't even voted in the poll of this thread. I'm that much afraid to predict, I rather keep my hopes a bit low. I refrain from such, inshaAllah, as much as I can. For everytime in my younger years I did predict on something, I always got hugely dissappointed. imsad

Nope It has hit the Whole Team They were destroyed tooo When they heard that.

The whole team, you really think? Then I'm impressed.

[Güven]

WHY ARE PEOPLE HAPPY HERE ??? Did I watch ANother Game ;D

[Ali.]

^ Yeah I heard Holland are really close this year, whenever they score they most of the time run to the manager for example.

And also when Bouhlarouz went off the pitch the Dutch supporters were standing, and the commentator said something about his 'tragedy' being the reason.

[Güven]

[Mikayeel]

Players rating!

Netherlands

Van der Sar: 6.5 – Had a busy evening and made some good stops. However, he lost the cross for Russia’s second and will be disappointed Arshavin managed to put the ball between his legs for Russia’s third.

Boulahrouz: 7.0 – Understandably he didn’t quite reach the heights of his previous performances in the tournament but the fact he was on the pitch at all deserves enormous respect. Replaced early in the second half after picking up a booking.

Ooijer: 5.0 – Holland’s defence looked suspect all evening and Ooijer struggled to contain the Russian duo Arshavin and Pavlyuchenko. Simply went missing at times.

Mathijsen: 5.0 – Along with Ooijer Holland’s centre back pairing was weak and no match for the Russian front men. Lucky to only concede three.

Van Bronckhorst: 6.0 – Didn’t offer his usual attacking threat and perhaps could have done better for the third Russian goal.

De Jong: 6.0 - Mopped up well in front of his defence which looked shaky at times but he couldn’t deny the Russians as they rushed forward relentlessly.

Engelaar: 6.0 – Along with de Jong a solid performance in the middle of the park but offered little going forwards. Sacrificed after the hour mark as the Dutch chased a goal.

Kuyt: 5.0 – Hardly had a kick in an anonymous first half and no surprise to see him replaced by van Persie at half time.

Van der Vaart: 6.5 - His set pieces were immaculate and Holland will rue their missed chances from his excellent delivery.

Sneijder: 7.5 - A wonderful free kick set up the equaliser and he looked Holland’s most dangerous, and determined, player.

Van Nistelrooy: 7.0 – Had a fairly quiet game but did what he does best with an equaliser that sent the game into extra time.

Substitutions

van Persie: 5.5 - Given the second half in place of Kuyt. Had a great chance just after coming on and put a free kick over but didn’t have the impact Holland were hoping for.

Heitinga: 5.5 - Was at fault for Russia’s first goal almost immediately after coming on and looked unconvincing.

Afellay: 6.0 - Sent on as Holland chased a goal. Certainly got involved and fizzed a low shot wide but couldn’t provide the threat required.

Russia

Akinfeev: 7.0 – Will be surprised at how little he had to do and coped comfortably with everything thrown at him.

Aniukov: 7.0 - A weak link at the back for the Russians but going forwards provided quite the threat and almost scored himself but his shot was saved.

Ignashevich: 7.5 - An excellent first half block on Sneijder and generally restricted Holland to long range shots.

Kolodin: 6.5 - A solid performance, albeit with some shaky moments. Almost scored with two shots in as many minutes at the other end of the pitch. However he picked up a booking which will ensure he misses the semi final.

Zhirkov: 7.5 – Another impressive performance from another full back who looks better going towards the opposition’s goal than near his own.

Semak: 7.0 – A solid performance by the captain who put the ball in for the opener on his 50th cap.

Zyryanov: 7.5 - A danger in and around the box all night and excellent in possession, posed Holland problems.

Semshov: 7.0 – Offered an attacking threat with some good balls threaded up to his front men.

Saenko: 7.0 - Tried to support his front men and a willing runner who tracked back well when required. A good all round midfield performance.

Arshavin: 9.0 - The Russians' star man had another excellent evening. A menace all night long and finally got the goal his performance deserved to seal the win for Russia.

Pavlyuchenko: 8.5 - Had a glorious opportunity early on but put his header over. However he made up for it by opening the scoring with a decent finish and was a constant threat.

Substitutions

Bilyaletdinov: 7.5 - Some lovely work set Zhirkov up with a great chance to finish the game in the last ten minutes. Was heavily involved as Russia tried to secure the win.

Torbinsky: 7.5 – The substitute had had his chances in the match before but he scored a good goal to put Russia 2-1 up.
