Poor Denmark 
Grönkjaer and Jörgensen just can't cross decently. Eventhough Denmark must have gotten into great crossing oppurtunities something like 25-30 times in these championships, not one goal has been scored from a cross. Truly awful precision on the crosses. And eventhough Denmark had the ball they never seemed to really apply speed and pressure. Anyway, they really should play with two strikers if their aim it's to get crosses in the box. With Sand and Tomasson inside the box and the other winger coming in maybe they would get it right once in a while even with awful precision.

Grönkjaer is such a wierd player, he can be totally amazing, going past player after player but then he does something stupid. He would be a brilliant player if he could sort out his crossing he really would
The only reason we didn't play with Sand today is because he is injured, and by god we could have used him today. Grønkjær and Jørgensen can both be amazing, especially Grønkjær, but on other days, like today, they can be all but anonymous. I think Grønkjær broke through twice in the whole match. Not good enough.
Grønkjær is usually quite good. Jørgensen unfortunately has a tendendy to underperform. The problem yesterday was that Gravesen played like shit. His passing was truly woeful. And Claus Jensen, despite being a good footballer, just doesn't fit into the team. He's too anonymous and doesn't really produce anything. When Peter Madsen came on to the pitch our play improved tremendously.
I blame Morten Olsen for not making the needed substitutions much earlier. He's a great tactician but when things don't go according to plan he doesn't know what to do.

You're comparing Germany and Sweden to Switserland now?!otheranthony-ns said:
Switserland was in no position to even think of getting to the quarters. Germany and Sweden were, and possibly further than that. I just found it odd that Colina, isn't leading this game. Italy had nothing to do with either Holland or Portugal. And Merk for the final, I dunno...
Do some of you remember that game between Holland and Portugal in the Estadio das Antas, where Portugal came back from an 0-2 result to tie it 2-2 with a Figo penalty.
They showed all of the best plays of that match yesterday in one of our portuguese channels, and i was astonished at how fresh and speedy Rui Costa was. That was just 3 years ago! Can 3 years make that much of a difference in someone's fitness? That reminded of why i loved Rui Costa so much back in the day, and he has definately shown throughout the years why he's been so respected by many top players and coaches out there. I mean, in that game he just tore apart the Holland midfield, leaving players like Davids in the dust. Much better display than the magestic player Deco can even dream of. It's amazing that right now i consider Deco a much better player than Rui Costa. Shame....

Wait. Trezguez plays shit all tournement and has the nuts to spit on his coaches leg for subbing him?
ahaha what a weak coach.
ahaha what a weak coach.
I dunno, Barça is selling and buying TOO many players. The players that made the difference last year are leaving, along with the chemistry.
Note that I'm not blasting the quality of the players bought, Guily and Larsson are great players. But I wanted to see the natural progression of last year, and re-enforcing some of the weaker parts of the team instead of buying a new one...

this blows. I can't watch either game since I'm working afternoon shift. I really want to see both matches too. Anyways, I predict a Czech/Dutch final.
The Czechs are way too stacked not to make it into the final although their defense is a little questionable. It's all about Baros, Nedved and Poborsky. I really want these guys to take the tournament just because I love watching them pass the ball around.

Seems Deco is going to barça, a good double will be Deco-Ronaldinho.......
We don't need Deco...Xavi has done an awesome job on the second part of the League this year...
An about Larson...I don't know what to think. he is very old... I would have prefered Trezegol...
However, I am happy about Belleti
Now the priorities are Eto and Ballack...Oh, and fuck Davids...He has been playing with us since the end of the League, if he wants more money he is not going to get it that way.
FORÇA BARÇA !!!!
Tot el camp
es un clam
som la gent blau grana;
tant se val d on venim,
Si del sud o del nord,
ara estem dacord, estem dacord,
una bandera ens agermana:
blaugrana al vent,
un crit valent,
tenim un nom,
el sap tothom:
Barça!, Barça!, Barça!

1-0 to Portugal at half time. Should be winning by more. Pauleta missed a glamorous opportunity and Figo hit the post with an excellent left footed shot.
Holland were denied the 1-1 by the linesman, as he was indeed offside (if only by a little margin).
Let's hope the 2nd half is better.
