not at all; I'm VERY soar we are keeping that idiot Vandereycken as coach... haven't qualified for the World Cup, nor for this Euro... we lost against countries that were ranked 50 places below us on the ranking (if not more).
Painfully enough, I think the next time we will reach such a tournament is in 2018 when we will host it with The Netherlands (IF we get it, that is).
btw, I don't get what Belgium not qualifying has to do with a referee that should get fired

Spain looked special yesterday. Their midfield is incredible (despite being filled with centre-midfielders), and their attack is dynamic, pacy, and clinical. I wonder if they can keep it up...
PS. Makes a mockery of England's flat, one-paced, unimaginative midfield.

Wow I really enjoyed watching Spain play, the Russians were a bit open but nevertheless very clinical. Villaīs got 3 goals already then on his way the the golden boot maybe.
I noticed thereīs a lot of Brazilians playing, for Turkey, Spain, Portugal, Germany and probably more teams. If they grew up in their host country then ok, but playing for Turkey and not speaking a wrod of Turkish, rediculous imo.
What makes Villa dangerous is that he's sharp. Very, very astute.
With Iniesta and Fabregas playing behind him, he could rack up some goals. Aragones should obviously start Fabregas, but I don't know who he'd replace. I think it's worth havin Torres and Villa upfront, so maybe take off Xavi.
I would keep Xavi on too. I think he is a very good player.
Gomez is playing up front because they have no one else there. The only other forwards they have are Almeida who came on for him today and Postiga.. then it is players like Ronaldo, Nani, Simao.
Yep Spain are spoilt for choice. Its the way they play which I like, classic Barcelona academy stuff. They might get frustrated against negative, brutal teams though, especially if they unluckily go a goal down.
I donīt think Germany are that impressive, weīll see their true form tonight when they play the Croats, I hope it isnīt like the last game they had where the Croats kicked the crap out of the Germans, that wasnīt nice to watch.
I really hope an attacking team wins this tournament, and not some boring negative team like Greece again.
Xavi and Iniesta are both excellent. Neither of them should be dropped in place of Fabregas as they're the reason Fabregas went looking elsewhere for first-team football when he was Barca in the first place. Well, at least that's according to Dr. Sid Lowe...

At least we can all agree that Greece will be f*cking off. Italy have a narrow escape, even if they play shit, they're still the world champs, and will be until the next World Cup, unless they win that.
Greece got lucky. Won a flukey tournament and then didn't have to defend it 'til now.
I knew they wouldnīt do well against a tight knit team, aggressive team.
A deserved 2:1 win to Croatia (could have been 4:1). Looks like Germany are going to play Portugal in the 1/4 finals, that should be interesting.
