Sticky: Official UEFA Euro 2012 Thread
Lunatic:
It won't be easy, but I think Portugal may get through. They showed quality today.
Furor Teutonicus:
Yep typical German lucky win, about time they found old German virtues again. Germany always had the best results when they peaked not too early.
The offensive line Poldi - Özil - Müller was weaksauce today. They have to show next games or the excellent bench players should get their chance. Schweinsteiger and Lahm were also poor
Oh yeah and HUMMELS FTW 8)

I feel Portugal has been playing way more defensive oriented/minded than they should for a while ... sure the D is solid but they should be/ are able to be more offensive minded ... instead of always counting only on fast breaks opportunities when the game is still 0-0...
This was a " well , we could have done more , we may have some regrets at the end" type of game ... same for their non game against Spain in 2010
Fraxxx:
I'm pissed! Holland shows the best offensive performance so far and loses to Denmark, that's just not right. :(
At least Germany won and surprisingly Löw came to his senses and let Hummels play. Weird game, out of the whole team the often critizised defense was strongest and out of them Lahm was the weakest. Can't say that I saw this before.
I have to say, Mereiles' fist in Badstubers face was typical South European bastard shit. Hope he gets suspended.
Ger - Ned will be a killer game hopefully, Holland's defense is weaker than Portugal's, Germany should get more chances on scoring. And the Dutch simply have to get rid of their bad luck. You don't play two games in a row like this, impossible.
Do you have the feeling that many players are slipping? It's like they're playing on ice. :D

Against Spain in 2010, we were just coached by Quieroz, who was ALL about defense..we played defense that entire tournament.
But under Bento, we've played very offensive, for 2 years now.. yesterday was the 1st exception under Bento. I can't complain though. We played beautifully the last 15 mins, but if we played that open all game, we probably would have conceded 2 or 3.
