I never understood why roof hiding in roper is lame

Sore losers consider it lame, it actually isn't the least bit lame because playing in a league you're just securing your win. Blame the scheme or the maps if anything.

Another potentially interesting thread that went up in flames.

Welcome to 2002.

Mab already gave the basics out here and personally I'd write a guide too if people want it. I'm well past the "omg notching has to be kept secret" time.

Looking forward to Greece vs Germany.

Oh true Bart, they can't meet before final. My bad.

Suspicious.

Probably in the semi final vs Germany. Looking forward to that one, but first is Greece.

This is also gonna go through the media left and right until Friday...

Agreed Bart, all of the Elftal wanted to shine so bad that they ignored the team aspect of football. Robben has always been a one trick pony, we make fun of him because he really can't do anything but go left with the ball and shoot (not even kick penalties). He may be a great player but his play is very one sided and egoistical. I can't count how many chances he wasted because he prefered to shoot rather than to pass the ball to Persie or Huntelaar. As you said, Netherlands have a great team on paper but they just don't work together.. Time for a coach change? But I guess no matter what coach, the ego personalities won't change.

And redi, it's not coincidence. You may not like the style (there's much worse though, Italy *cough*) but it's effective. They didn't play great for an entire game yet though, mostly 30-40 strong minutes scoring a goal or two, then pick up a slower pace.. I don't like that either. Spain totally dominated Ireland, we only won the 3 games by 1 goal difference each. Not the greatest presentation of power, but then again Spain didn't win vs Italy and they're still not through yet. Don't underestimate Croatia.

So Germany is the only team which scores 9 points in the group stage, even being in the toughest group while Netherlands go home with a big fat 0. Thoughts?

Czech 1-2 Poland
Greece 1-3 Russia

Hoping for great matches.

Hola mae, where have you been?

A random scheme option.. I sure as hell would try it, and probably like it.

Bo13 final? Wtf! xD
