And as usual my national team showed impressive lack of ability to play modern football.
I'm not sure why we still trying to utilize tactics from 20 years ago.

Anyway good luck for all other teams

It is especially ironic, since Lewandowski and Kuba play in the best German champion team of the season and have both been pretty important players in the past season.

Anyway:

Problem lays not on players' side but on coach/management side.

Each coach is given ~year to create a team and this is just too shoort for the job. Team have no time to work out proper tactics and familiarize themselves with style of any other player. And after 3 or 4 defeats couach is fired.

Second issue is that Polish coaches are still in 70' - 80' in terms of style of football. We need quick and low ball exchange not long and high. We're making side raids almost to the end line instead of passing ball to the center more early, and our players cannot pass the ball "on target". We also need to move more.

We had good coach (Leo Beenhakker) but he was sacked before his effort started to pay off and next coach wasn't able to follow his vision of the team.

I'm hoping that my Dutch side can get their acts together today, beat Portugal by 2 goals, and the Germans take care of the pesky Danes. Pretty disappointed with how Het Oranje have played this tournament.

Also, disappointed that Poland couldn't get it together to beat the Czech Republic.

Fun fact: On this 17th June, on the 17th of June Street in Berlin, 450,000 people are watching the game at the official German fan mile.


And by the sound of the German national anthem in Lviv, its a home match.

A Greece-Germany would certainly be... interesting

 

[Urwumpe]

Yeah, and Poldolski just managed to not only be the youngest player to ever reach 100 caps for his country, but also score the first goal in his 100th game. Cong-rodents Lukas.

If Netherlands score one more goal, Denmark would be third now. So, could the real Christiano Ronaldo please stand up?

DAMN... 1:1

DAMN... 1:1

DAMN... 1:1

The good thing is that we will know if we are playing against Germany or not, after the elections today.

I've just read results of elections..my condolences for greece people

 

[Urwumpe]

1:2 : Germany against Greece is now final.

Denmark was the expected tougher opponent, but we managed to be one tiny percent better in the end ... and apologies for Lars Bender, he did only play 16 minutes in this season as right full back, he didn't know that he should not be that offensive. Luckily. :lol:

Eventhough this Euro 2012 has a "political" colour to it, due to the eurozone crisis, let's keep politics out of it and enjoy the games. For comments on the Greek elections, one can always start a new thread on a different area of this forum.

Why? 90% of the election results can be explained by the fact that the voters failed to find Gekas on the ballot. :lol:

Oh I am sorry, I forgot that politics are not allowed..and sorry if I offended you..If you want you can start a new thread cause I would like to know how things are going on there form person who lives there, not from corporate-lying establishment and their media..

 

[FADEC]

Since Greece already lost the Euro game I hope they win the soccer game at least. Just for their mood.

I like to have other people's input and I am not offended at all. I also want to make some remarks on the outcome of these elections, but I don't think that this thread is the place do make them.

True. Watching a game -in which the players are mostly uneducated millionares that don't care about Euro-policies- really takes your mind out of it.

 

[4throck]

Nice game by Portugal, played as a team and that allowed Ronaldo to shine!
And Holland played well, tried to score untill the end, very good opponent :tiphat:!

I must say I didn't expect such good games from my team, so we are definitely improving! Looking forward for the next game!

 

[sitha241]

Since it is yours country you should start the thread if you want it :tiphat:

 

[dgatsoulis]

Understood.
Yes, I'll start one, but not about the result of these elections.
It's gonna be in the basement.

 

[Cosmic Penguin]

I hereby announce that I will consider eating my stuffed penguin if Greece beats Germany today. :rofl:

(I mean, they don't have much ability to score goals, and their defense line were only working on the last match against a complacent Russian team. The Greeks might be able to edge over England or Italy, but Germany? No way!)
