Portugal has what it takes to abuse both Spain flank, and i hope my prediction for the final come true xd

All 4 teams are top-notch. But I'll admit it that I won't mind to miss another Germany v/s Spain. A novel final will bring more suspense...

but i like seeing the unexpected, i don't know why i just love it xd
this year we got Man City they make Man U become the 2 minutes champions LOL, am not even city fans but when aguero scored the goal i scream like i did when Italy won the WC 2006,

and there is Chelsea who completely bring despair to uefalona i mean Barcelona and Bayer Munich

thus am hoping this kinda things happen again in euro 2012, both Portugal and Italy is underdog when they came since people think the dutch and the Deutschland will dominate group B, so is Italy none of them think they can make it this far not after they saw the match against Spain,

but in reality both Germany and Spain has more chance

I'm goin for a portugal and Germany final and Germany take the trophy. Ronaldo wins the ballon' d' or for takin his team to the final. xd
Two entertaining teams in the final will be good.

You Bitch!

It's true that Spain and Germany has more chance.

The extra-time fatigue might play a big factor in the Germany game though.

I'm just having a good feeling when it comes to Portugal. Just don't know why but ever since they snatched that victory against Denmark, there's a different aura when they play.

Remaining Euro Games Schedule;

06.27.2012: 20.45 PM (GTM +1) Semi-Final 1 Portugal - Spain.

06.28.2012: 20.45 PM (GTM +1) Semi-Final 2 Germany - Italy.

Shall be great matches. It's sad that they don't do 3rd place match though. It takes us the chance to see another great match.

Nothing says that Ronaldo will take the Ballon D'Or if he went to Final or even wins it. Right now, the jury system in the Ballon D'Or works weirdly; so expect everything.

For me, it's really tight between Messi and CR7. Both played their best since some years - yet only one can win.

Yeah it's a shame. Would be great to see a Bronze Final match like in the WC.

Yep, it's more tight than ever before if you ask me, and if Ronaldo manages to get Portugal to the final and win it almost by himself, I guess it will greatly impact the Ballon D'Or, but we'll see.

Read my post in the Debates thread on Ballon D'Or system and you'll understand why I'm skeptical.

Basically, accomplishments might or might not weigh as much in 2012.
Though, with the old system, winning Euro or going to Euro final will have be THE difference maker.

Hmm... Now that the Semi-Finals are upon us and we have a break till Wednesday... Why don't you... :zonder: ... Do a ... :faust: ... Sum up of the entire tournament so far Professor Best dribbles, best free kicks (Pirlo's for sure), best goal, best acrobatic (attempts) (Zlatan's goal, Ronaldo's miss?), best cross/long pass, best player, best team, best solo raid, best shot, best dive, lol, best embaresment (Nasiri's miss on the ball which lead to a major counter attack for Sweden xd), biggest disappointment by team, biggest disappointment by player, etc.

The word is yours U_U:worshippy:

I will do Best Goal, Best Player and Best XI after the Final. The rest, I'm not sure and don't have time U_U Feel free to do it if you/anyone else would like though. Could be fun.

Pirlo PK VS England was brillant, but he failed with the same attempt VS Barca last year.



Pinto studied him well I guess lol

The speed of the ball was just....... slow :shrug:

It's meant to be slow. The technique of panenka chip relies on confusing the GK enough with your gestures & confidence.

It's extremely risky since there's no power in the ball and it's always on the center. You need to win your mental face-off with the goalie otherwise you won't score.

In a normal penalty, you always got your shot power and precision to save you if the goalkeeper anticipated but that's not the case in a panenka.

That's why it's applaudable when you do this in big matches and crucial stages. You need to be a real boss to take such a risk.

Last year? Think it had been more than a year since Barca and Milan faced of in penalty kicks, yet along since Ronaldinho played there o__O

Euro returns tonight and the first semi final is going to...

Re: UEFA Euro 2012 Official Thread - Discussion, Analysis, Predictions & All News!

Today is a big game! Portugal against Spain!

I put my bets HEHE !!!

Portugal to Win Bet-70$ win - 315$ and another bet 30$ that Ronaldo will score first - win = 180$

So I might win alot of money but I have absolutly no idea how would I watch this game since im Spain supporter :sy: very messy

My 100th then

A Pre-Match analysis will be useless cause everyone knows that all eyes will be on Ronaldo and how much he can prove against Euro/WC Reigning Champions Spain. We all know how both teams will play. So yeah, we'll just enjoy what's promising to be a great game.

One great note:

I never thought I'll do it but I'm gonna sport my United - No.7 Ronaldo Shirt today. It's been a hiatus since I used that obviously. xd

That's the spirit! I'll bring forth my Ronaldo 7 Madrid shirt as well :zonder:
I never thought it was possible, but I'm actually rooting for Portugal this time around, even though I've supported Spain for the last 8 years. Can't really blame the Madrid players because it's 5 -3 in Spain's advantage on that point. Damn it all, Ronaldo himself, like Raul before him (Spain in 2004 Euro), has made me favor a national team
