Spain and Turkey were the best 2 teams of the competition.

Where is Euro 2012 anyway?

lol ok Alfista.

Turkey lead their games for a total of 15 minutes :-P. I'm going to have to go with Netherlands and Spain as being the top teams of the tournament. scoring 9 goals with 7 different players is pretty good if you ask me ;).

so, now that this tournament is over, how does a person like me (that knows crap about soccer) can continue following the sport?

I found myself liking Euro 2008 more than I thought I would, and I would like to continue watching some good futbol.

Just try and catch popular leagues like La Liga, Serie A and the English Premier League when they start up again in the coming months.

The final was a bit on the boring side compared to the other games. Spain had definite control over the majority of the match. Germany looked tired and unenthusiastic for some reason. Is it just me that got that vibe?

No I thought the same, infact I turned it off at half time.

You are not alone. The game was very dull to say the least. Of course, Germany does not play exciting football all the time so that was expected. They were probably one of the worst performing teams to get to the Euro final in history, other than Greece in 2004.

I truly believe that a Turkey - Spain match in the final would have been a much better one.

Well for one, do you know the rules of the game? Secondly, have you any watched any of the leagues and do you know any of the teams?

I actually pretty much enjoyed the final... well that was because my friends were over but still, Spain proved that they were in total control of the match and never looked like losing!

    • I found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍
    • Yes, Scoop was created to promote Coreutils for Windows. You can still see early versions of their website on the Web Archive. It was a joke that nobody took seriously. Microsoft's implementation of Coreutils, however, are built in Rust.
    • Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Over a year ago, EA surprise announced that a team of former Firaxis members is working on a brand-new Star Wars game. Dubbed Zero Company, the title would have XCOM-like turn-based tactics gameplay as players manage a squad of professionals from all over the galaxy. Now, just ahead of an official announcement, it looks like the release date has leaked out. The upcoming Summer Game Fest presentation on Friday is when EA is supposed to show off the title's gameplay footage, with fans also expecting it to reveal a release date. However, the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs says they have already managed to find out when the game is coming out and what versions fans will have the option of purchasing. Per the leak, Star Wars Zero Company has an August 27, 2026, release date attached to it. The title is slated to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 standard and $59.99 Deluxe edition. The leaker also adds that there won't be any early access perk attached to this special edition. Pre-orders could kick off alongside the official announcement this Friday, too. For those unfamiliar with the title, Bit Reactor is developing Star Wars Zero Company with help from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The EA-published title is said to be set during the "twilight of the Clone Wars." We will have to wait and see if base building and management mechanics from the XCOM series will be present here, too. "You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company — an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy," reads the game description. "Hawks and Zero Company are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks will lead a team of uneasy allies who must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds." You can catch the Star Wars Zero Company extended gameplay reveal at the Summer Game Fest showcase that's kicking off on Friday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.
