I think the reason Italy couldnt hold on was because they withdrew to much. They barely posed much of a threat after they took the lead. I think they should have kept the thumpin coming.

Swedes even admit it was luck. Stupid Vieri. ^You're right, I think Trappatoni substituted too conservatively. He should have learned that no 1 goal lead in this tournament is safe.

i think that your right, and its not just italy, we see plenty of teams doing this, they go up 1 or 2 goals then bunker down and change their strategy to all defense and it just doesnt work, becuase no matter how strong your defense is, if you give another well-rounded attacking team like the sweeds the chance to build and attack right out of the backfeild your gonna keep getting hammered and eventually they will score

On the positive side I think in ther next games if Italy doesnt give up on the goal they do well cause they've got top attackers a very solid defensive strategy and a keeper that can hold his ground. I dont expect them to lose to Bulgaria even with suspended players. The next match will give them time to regroup rest and prepare for the next rounds to come (assuming they make it through). A for todays action im pulling for Holland woot.

Wooo big suprise Latvia tied Germany 0-0 today. Germans dominated mostly but Latvia had some good runs to the net. I think the German fans and players should consider themselves lucky though that Latvia wasnt awarded a penalty kick (can't remember what minute). Also Holland lead Chzech's 2-1, yes please.

Dammit! I had no time to watch the Netherlands - Czech game. Sounds as if it was a great game. Anyone watch it? Heard it was the best game of the tourney?

They're in the same grouping for World Cup as well!!!

dont read if you want to watch the England game when its replayed:


Rooney just put 2 in againts the croats, he is probably the best player at the tournament at the moment (and only 18!) Henry finally started scoring too.

Yup France 3-1 over the Swiss and England take Croatia 4-2. Rooney's amazing and so is Christiano Ronaldo, there probably the two guys that have impressed me the most so far.

You guys all know England 'll fuck it up right? Honestly. They're all fuck ups... they'll fuck up!

They're defense is terrible. Sure they scored 4 goals, but they let in 2... nearly 3. Croatia also had a terrible game (Coach's to blame). Rooney's second goal was offside IMO.

Czechs are my team going into the QF... though it looks like they're playing my other favourite: Italy.

The youngest, best talent of the tornament is by far Antonio Cassano (IMO). Just wait until the Italians break-out this afternoon. 5-0? I think so. That could change goal standings instantaneously.

I think it's a little too early to be discussing who's already clinched the Golden Boot... we'll see though.

cassano? get a grip. rooney is the rawest, most pure talent weve seen in ages. and yes england do regularly fuck up but this time were gona win. and the defense is not crap, campbell, terry, cole and neville are probly the most solid back four you can get as a unit. you cant say a team is crap for what you clame is a bad performance. when arsenal lose are they shit? no, they just had a bad game. and is 4-2 a bad score line, i think not. italy are shit by the way, and totti is a dirty little bastard, spitting is the lowest thign you can do on a pitch, he should be out of the tournament!

Obviously your bias is overwhelming your judgement.

Yes what Totti did was repulsive, I'm not defending that. Though I remember a certain kick to the back of one's head... Refresh my memory, I can't quite place who it was and what team he played for?

Henry didn't let his bias blind him when he made these comments:

''Thierry Henry announced today that the most exciting player in Europe right now is Roma striker Antonio Cassano and he expects to see Italy reach the final of Euro 2004.

'I think that the Azzurri will be in tournament till the last match,' the French superstar said. 'Their defence is incredible and they have Cassano, one of the most talented players around'.

'When I see him play he makes me jump in my chair because he is very creative and plus he's a madman,' the Arsenal striker added. 'Totti and Zidane are world class players but Cassano is a great surprise and he is a treasure for Italy'.''

i agree my bias is overwhelming me slightly but not to the stage where im goin to go and hijack a profesional footballers opinion just because he 'knows what hes talking about'. Just because henry says cassano is amazing it doesnt meen he is it just meens thats his opinion. what i am saying is rooney is amazing, this is my opinion but also if you look at the stats of euro 2004 you will see that rooney has the most impresive stats. yes cassano is good and italy are good but i doubt theyl make it to the final and also id like to add, they are a bunch of fuckin divers!!!!

Unfortunate. Unfortunate for the tournament's quality of play in the next round as well. The Italians are truely a pleasure to watch.

Their wreckless tackles cost them. Vieri should be very unhappy with himself. Much blame falls on Trappatoni's shoulder as well.

im glad italy are out, in my opinion italy arent that great to watch they are way to defensive and then they have a phase of attacking when the opposition always score, its to predictable. its a high class team that always under achieves. anyway england are in so who cares about the rest. best match of the tournament to come, england vs portugal! rooney vs ronaldo, the two hottest talents at the moment, cant wait.
