Euro 2008

[Rappy Veteran]

I would like to of seen Romania go through but even with 9 players benched Holland were to strong.

I think so far in the Euro's, Gianlugi Buffon has proved himself by far to be the best goalkeeper in the world.

Sorry but this title is reserved for Cech. He just had a bad hair day.

^ +1 :yes:

:laugh:

Forgetting his absolute calamity against Turkey, Cech is no where near to being the best goalkeeper in the world.

Casillas and Boruc are both better than Cech as well in my opinion, and it is really only between Buffon and Casillas for the top spot.

Pepe Reina is also a much better keeper than him, and Reina's three golden glove awards out of three seasons in the Premier League are testament to that.

To be honest, I thought Cech was brilliant, but after he fractured his skull he didn't seem to be the same goalkeeper in my eyes.

I agree with you Marty, for once ;)

Ever since that devastating injury he sustained, he hasn't been as good as he was before. Don't get me wrong, Cech is still very good but he is not consistent throughout games. He will make 2-3 spectacular saves in a game but will be mediocre in another game or even awful in the same game where he made those 3 great saves as we witnessed a few days ago.

Boruc, by far, has been the best keeper in this tournament. Yes, Poland did not win once, but he kept them in every game they played in with some spectacular saves that were certain goals.

Buffon's only moment was that penalty kick save and it happens to be the reason why Italy is through.

The good news, at least for me and all Portuguese fans, is that Podolski and Frings will miss the game on Thursday. Of course I do not wish them to be injured but their injury makes it slightly easier for us considering Podolski is a force to contend with in that German midfield.

I forgot to mention he has scored all the goals for Germany thus far.

Ballack ripped a shot from 35 yards out last game.

Edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_Club_Football_Awards *looks at goal keeper, wants an update* - only uefa ranks though :p

[L3thal Veteran]

Forgot about Ballack ;)

I am waiting for Alfista to claim that Volkan is the best keeper in the world :laugh:

Netherlands FTW :D

[Deletedforeverhaha]

Holland's easily going to make it into the semi-finals. From there on, it depends on the amazing teamwork they displayed during the group stages.

Holland all the way!

[Scirwode]

To be honest, I really like Croatia to at least reach the final. They have always been my favourite team ever since they've played in the 98 World Cup, so hopefully they rise up to the challenge as dark horses.

If only the rest of the world could read that. :p

Anyhow, boring match by The Netherlands yesterday. Wasn't really interested. Cool that they won again though, even with a B-team. Let's see who they're up against in the quarter finals. It's going to be an exciting match whatsoever.

Now, don't do that! Make up something else, something less dangerous. I'm sure a lot of neowinians here can help you in the quest for your decent punishment. :)
