Joke of a tournement. Should have never increased the number of teams from 16 to 24.
Too many boring matches, too negative football, too weak security (in the groupstage) and the pitches are horrible (people thumbling everywhere).
Yeah, great to see some major upsets. But all in all I think this has been the worst Euro so far.
Anyway, here´s my prediction:
Portugal - Italy 0-1
Italy wins.

There were lots of good matches in 2004.
Only abject thing was Greece winning it.

Clash of the national anthems. You'd struggle to find two better than the German and Italian anthems.

The russian national anthem will always be the best. In Russia, you do not sing national anthem. National anthem sings you. |

I thought the first half was quite boring. Germany didn't play like I'm used too (probably mostly because of Italy's defence skills). Since the first goal it's been a different and more enjoyable match though.

Some of those penalties were comically bad. Shootouts are always enjoyable regardless though.
I've got 0/3 of my quarter final predictions right so far. Good for Iceland.

i love that zaza was literally only put on for one reason and he managed to fuck that up. incredible.
'mon iceland or portugal now. hate for all the rest (and normally i'm chill w/ germany but naw, no this year). portugal 'cause they're great heels and iceland 'cause i'll be beyond vindicated and i like them lots.

First half boring.
Second half frustrating.
Extra time boring.
Penalty shootout, bizarre.
