Can Greece do them 1-0 again?
For the goal? Harsh. Heading it down at pace disorients a keeper, just like Muller's header in the CL Final.
Has anyone else noticed that whenever goals are scored in this competition just about every country apart from ourselves and the English have been singing something to 7 Nation Army by The White Stripes?
Anyone know what it's all about?
Bring Back Belfast Celtic F.C.
The stadium PA system plays the riff, the fans sing along to it.
I did like Jim Beglin's quote about Greece playing a flat back 9. Awful stuff from Greece so far. Germany still looking a bit one paced for me though.
Easy to say when they went on to score 4! This is the first team they've destroyed and the weakest team they faced. Ozil is key and if he can be contained their smart passing game often isn't at a high enough tempo for me. I don't think it's an unfair observation despite how easily they won in the end.
If Stan's team can lose to a deflected goal in Germany and garner a point at home, the ball is in Trap's court to do better than Stan
Greece were missing too many vital players, goalkeeper, CH and CM. they would have needed all of them to give Germany a game. At least they managed to get in a good kick to the balls.
Italia/Deutschland/Espana or Portugal.
You know what you have to do?
Thanks, hopefully.
England don't play great football but they can create chances and at this stage they're as likely to take them as Italy (0-0 ht). Italy a bit too careless for me. I think England might get lucky here.
Very much agreed, but even we had more possession v.Italy?
0-0 FT. England as bankrupt in ideas and cophesion as we were. Still all to play for though. Chelsea were outclassed for large periods of every game from last 16 of CL onwards.
I know! The parallels are all over Facebook.

Can I just say it has been a joy to watch Pirlo tonight. Incredible.
DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?
Hmm, a 'joy' is stretching it.
But one of their more skilful players.
Italy can't finish and England can only score from set pieces or via a shoot-out. Hmm.
Even Steve Staunton football was more interesting?
Pirlo's vision is something on another plane.
The calmness with which he plays the game is nothing short of magic.
What is it with Italy whereby they always have one spectacular veteran at most tournaments.

He has been a joy, only his set pieces have been below par.
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
