MiG2003 0 Posted July 1, 2004 The final will be played between Portugal and Czech Rep as i say long time ago, and it will be a great show and the better team will win   The better team will be Portugal , of course  Nothing can stop us now!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhoCares 0 Posted July 1, 2004 Holland went where Germany has no chance in hell of getting to in the next few years We'll see - Holland has to qualify for the next World Cup, where Germany as host is already set Otherwise, for tonight it is going to be a tough bet - piss of BIS' or Ex-Ronin Well, my bet is on Greece for tonight, 1 : 0 Otto is pulling another surprise, just as when he took over Kaiserslautern in the 2nd League and led them straight to the Championship two years later. And then, the greeks stop working for Olympia, flatten Acropolis and build a biiiiiiiiiiiig monument to worship him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Placebo 28 Posted July 1, 2004 Portugal deserved the win last night and played much better, I noticed slightly less diving but perhaps the fact RVN played evened things up on that score. Czech Republic will win tonight and beat Portugal on Sunday If not then I hope Greece beat Portugal on Sunday, but I think Greece's journey will end tonight, of course I said that before Greece v France and we saw how that ended, but I somehow feel that the Czech Repulblic will have a better mentality for the match than France did.

Postduifje 0 Posted July 1, 2004 I wasn't able to see all of the game last night, because of a dinner with my girlfriends family . But saw the rest later. It was quite a good match, altough we didn't quite get to play our game. We were obviously outclassed by Portugal, but the ref helped too, slowing things down in the end. For tonight, altough I really dig the enthousiasm of Greece, I'm affraid the Czech are far better. If they win the final will be exciting, Czech being the better team but having trouble playing against teams with sideplayers (wings?), as was seen in Czech-Holland and Czech-Denmark. With great individual players, Portugal might just pull it off. But then agains Czech is already so much focused on the final, they might be suprised by Greece As for Holland, we played a great tournament, mainly because my expectations were really low. An improvised team (didn't play a single game together before Holland-Germany) managed to get to the last 4, and the young players making a good entrance are a promiss for the future. Now, with the leaving of experienced but old players like Stam, Overmars, de Boer and probably van Hooijdonk and Cocu there's room for the new talent, who are definately gonna win in 2006 (or atleast kick Germany's ass out of the tournament ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apollo 0 Posted July 1, 2004 From a pure football perspective ,i rather would have the Czech win than Greece.Czech play a very offensive game wit lots of nice actions and goals ,Greece plays enourmesly defensive wich makes a game more slow and boring IMO. But afcourse like others i hav easily symphaty for the underdog ,then again something tells me that Greece should be very content of already reaching the half-final.

raedor 8 Posted July 1, 2004 it's quite interesting to see that the germans now all think that the coach of a team is such important... in german tv nobody speaks about "the national team of greece" it's just "otto's team" or something like that which is in the half finals.

Well, personally I won't mind if anybody of the remaining teams win. I wanted Denmark and Holland out, and so it was. The most 'harmonic' result would probably be: Bronze - Czechs (it would be cruel for them to lose in the finals, a repeat of '96) Silver - Greece  (has done extraordinary well already, silver would be overall an amazing achievement) Gold - Portugal (host country, big party etc) Personally I think I would however slightly prefer Greece or the Czechs to win overall. Portugal didn't play too well in the group games. Objectivly I think the Czechs will win today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's right, there is no game for the third place. Forgot that. Yeah, in that case, shared third with Holland... ... ..unless you look at the previous encounter where the ČeÅ¡ki boys kicked the crap out of the Dutch lads Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Albert Schweitzer 10 Posted July 1, 2004 it's quite interesting to see that the germans now all think that the coach of a team is such important... Â in german tv nobody speaks about "the national team of greece" it's just "otto's team" or something like that which is in the half finals. Â Wait up buddy. First of all it is the coach who picks the team. As you might have seen those decisions are crucial to the outcome of a game. Secondly, the german coach of the greek team did one good step. Greece is a huge football nation and it was therefore always surprising why it performed so embarassingly bad. The reason was the governance. football in greece is also somewhat a Mafia thing, lots of people with power, some even with underground connections to criminal organisations... and so was the way those teams are managed. Each greek Capone and Don who had money or influence in any of the clubs tried to interfer with the national coach in the past. The national team was a platform for each and every man to show that HE too was powerful enough to interfer with the coach and to give advises and orders. The german coach isolated the national team from such influences and had a tough time doing so, he was actually often involved in quite heated discussion but succeeded. Noone else than he himself was training and organising the team. And yes he succeeded. Dont downplay this! The players have been there for many years already and we know how they performed during the worldcup. Also, anyone who knows football noticed that the team structure was well adapted to the opponents style of playing. Well done coach! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Postduifje 0 Posted July 1, 2004 That's what I heared too; previously the trainer had to go with either the AEK playstyle and players or the Panathinaikos one. For some reason, this coach managed to get them on one line and combine forces. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
denoir 0 Posted July 1, 2004 Heh, well, I consider Sven-Göran "Svennis" Eriksson the coach of the English national team to be a traitor, but for some reason it seems to be a minority view. I think it is outright wrong to have a foreign trainer. It's supposed to be a national team. What's next? Can we hire foregin players as well? Hell, why don't we just pay another team to play it all for us? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ex-RoNiN 0 Posted July 1, 2004 Quite funny reading foreign analysis of our football You are all somewhat right, and somewhat wrong of course. But, things are changing and hopefully we will soon see more teams than just PAO and the national team doing well outside of our Alpha Ethniki Btw, I collected the IPs of all Czech ISPs, just in case Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
