Tonights game
- 25 June 2008 21:493299what a tournament euro 2008 has been.
hardly a dull moment, been dragged through the gamut of emotions in so many games.
the supporters of these teams have been great too.
i thought before the start that i would not get that involved without our own chaps there.
with the benefit of hindsight, i think that we may have spoiled the party. - 25 June 2008 22:293303Yes Howard a good tournament all round with the exception of a couple of games, Italy v Spain being one of them.
I could not understand Italy at all; their tactics were those you might see in non league football. They got what they deserved nothing.
Turkey was very unlucky tonight and I felt sorry for them. Tomorrow night should be a good game with I hope Spain going through.
I would still have loved to see England there though just to add to the enjoyment or not as the case may be.

i agree that the italy/spain match was a let down, but the finish made up for all the dross served up.
tonights match was exciting partly due to technical errors.
the theme of the tournament has been players displaying their skills, with very few bad challenges or moaning to the ref.
we have a good set of players that should be competing at this level, in my opinion, however we do not seem to have a management team that gives them self belief.
the last time was with bobby robson and co , i hope that the new chap and his advisors can change things. - 26 June 2008 00:243310I also feel sorry for Turkey, missed the first half but the following two goals by either side I felt were goalkeeper errors (what was the Turkish keeper thinking
), but Germany's 3rd was a cracker albeit against the run of play. Loved the Radio 5 commentary kicking in when we lost the picture transmission due to the storms in Vienna. 
- 26 June 2008 07:493329Ohhhhh...Vienna ! some storms.
I think this German team may well be better than then pundits on TV were suggesting. Okay they didnt play well last night but still won. Thats a sign of quality I reckon..and of course lets not forget they are now in the Final of yes, a superb tournament, and probably one of the best ever.
Full marks to Turkey for making a fight of it after they were written off. It is great to see the arrival of a whole brace of new football powers who are no longer just the 'also rans' of old.
Sould be another cracker tonight.
