amacpher Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 quote:Originally posted by argh1 Ugh ....... what can I say ! Who would of thought? NOt me, but I'm not complaining (my quarterfinal ticket featuring the winner of group A looks like gold right now ... England-Porugal???). I thought Spain was the best team in the tournament through the first 2 games. People have been saying Greece look so superb, but I haven't seen that at all. Lucky more than anything I think. I wasn't surprised to see them get smoked by Russia's B-team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachesl Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 Wow, amacpher, howya enjoying the party? Are you the guy that brought the Maple leaf flag into the stands, and the big square in Lisbon? Spain are sort of like the Toronto Maple Leafs of soccer. Lots of promise, but they lack the cajones to finish in major competitions. Sort of predictable, like the Germans doing better than expected each time (I'm hoping that the Czechs will care enough to put an end to that tradition). My theory is that the various "Spanish" would play better if they divided up into 4 or 5 national regions, like Britain- they would be more cohesive as teams.

Free kick Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 In fairness to Spain. In the last WC and in this Euro, they have had to face the hosts in critical matches. Not an easy task nowadays. In Korea, they got robbed to the point where there should have been an inquiry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metro Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 Greece answered the bell and got the results they needed; Spain did not. Sorry, but the suggestion that Greece may not deserve to advance even though they finished ahead of Spain doesn't wash with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarrek Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 Greece got to know Spain because they were in the same Euro Qualifying group. (Greece finished out on top in that one as well, btw) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
