EURO 2008 - The Finale

Euro 2008: The finale, between Spain and Germany

My prediction, Spain can win as they have better gate-keeper. Even if the game dragged up to penalty shoot-out, Spain still have 60% chances to win the game as Casillas are so much better than Lehmann.

The result: Spaniards won 1-0 during full time. Baguihhhh...i can sleep early. The match is good but can see the Spaniards are more determine and energetic than Germans.





Picture says a thousands words.....BRAVO ESPANA!!!!!

Semi Finals-The result

Semifinals between Germany and Turkey










Both the Germans and Turks are excited for the game. Me, really hope the Turks can win it, as they seems so ambitious, energetic and so determine. One of the most exciting Euro 2008 match. Turks works real hard, they take the leads on 22nd minutes before Germans scored 4 minutes later.







Turks tried real hard and played well, but the experienced Germans are the choosen ones. They won 3-2, from a last minute goal by Lahm.
To me Turks have shown their best, congrates to Hamit, Semih, Kazim etc...the team is handicapped, with almost half of the team is either injured or suspended, but they have the fighting spirit and proven that they can do it too.
Game memang best, tapi channel asyik rosak aje, at some part, i go zzzz.....nasib baik bangun balik masa 80th minute.

Turks may not make it to the final, but everybody are impressed with their performance. Congratulations to Germany. C u in the finals.
2nd semi finals- Russia vs Spain. The Spaniards won with 3-0.
The best ever match played by Spain and the worst ever match showed by Russia.
Tak tau naper, but Russia seems hopeless, totally different from their performance with Holland.




Bye Russia, good luck to Spain in the finals.

Adios Amigos

Adios amigos Italia. Euro '08 journey ended here.


The match, on June 23, 08 witness the exit of the world champion from the 2008 Euro.

The team loss to Spaniard.
A goalless 120 minutes match dragged the teams for a penalty kick-off. Once the match dragged for the penalties, i knew it, its a 50-50, coz both Buffon and Casillas are good indeed. It is all depends on the shooter.



Too bad, italia loss for

4-2. Congrates to Casillas, he saved De Rossi's and Natale's penalties. Buffon saved Gouva's.
(Yang geram tu, takde ke player lain yg Doni leh bagi utk amek penalty ni???)












Whatever it is, still glad the both De Rossi's & Natale's penalty was at least saved by Casillas, idak la macam Croatia the other day, penalty 2 bijik ke laut peginya...what a waste. However, glad for that as Turkiye berjaya pegi Semis.

Quater-Finals

Quater finals is here. In total 8 teams are in:
Germany vs Portugal
Croatia vs Turkiye
Netherlands vs Russia
Spain vs Italy

The 1st QF match, German won over Portugal with 3-2. Bye Portugal...

2nd match, Croatia vs Turkiye, A 1-1 draw during last minute extra time. Again, this is the excitement of football. Who knows that Turkey can score at the final minute?

Turkiye won via 3-1 penalty shoot-out. Crotia failed to score the penalties and the final shoot was saved by Rustu, just as what i am expected.

Viva Turkiye!!!!!!









My favorite Turkey's star-Ilhan Mansiz. His best performance -in 2000 Euro, along with Hakan Sukur. Turkey shows quite a good performance in 2000.













CONGRATES!!!!!!!...












Cian Ronaldo..takpe, lain tahun try lagik brader..

Bravo Italia...they've made it to the quater finals. They beat France for 2-0.

Pirlo scored on penalty and Grosso's on the free kick, tapi actually terkena kaki Henry. Ala..lebih kurang gol Romania yg terkena kaki Zambrotta the other day la akan....













Tapi the match, alahai...elok sikit je dari Mesia main...boring jek layanz...ni la team sayur2an utk Euro2008, the most digeruni team, but end-up both pun dah jadik team sayur...Adik ni pun sampai menguap2 tengok game nih..
tapi France lagi sayur la..hadoi...bek dia...sakit mata nengok...baper kali si Toni lepas, tapi as usual la, si clumsy tu tak leh gak nak score2 lagik...
hmm i really miss Totti, Nesta & Canna in action..baru best sikit tengok,..mata pun segar bugar je...


Oit Buffon, apa lu kasi bikin sama itu Henry?












Sonok korang ek??? sib baik 2nd string ayam belanda tu kuat...they win over Romania for 2-0...kalo tak..babai la korang....
The joyous face...itu pun lepas tau Holland leading 1-0.

Anyway, enjoy the victory while u can..bersedia la utk bungkus bila jumpa adik2 Spain nanti ek...but be careful, Italy is always a late bloomer, macam France jugak...too bad France cant sustain...we'll see if Italy got eliminated on next match.

The Death Match

Tonite, is the crucial nite!!!!
It is between Romanian and the Dutch, and the Italian against the French.

Well basically all teams, except the Dutch must win the game to make them qualify to the next level. The most talkable game in the office..Tak abes2, dari lepas lunch sampai la balik..

Anyway, i still have a strong feelings, both 2006 world-cup finalist akan bungkus, pakcik2 Romania yang akan tegar bertarung, coz holland akan bagi depa menang. The same case for Italy in 2004 Euro...
Mari kita lihat..siapa yang kena!!!!!! (baca dengan nada ala2 Ibrahim pendek dlm citer bujang lapuk)











Italy and France will not face a penalty shoot-out on Tuesday no matter what the results are in the final games in Group C, Uefa has confirmed.
The European football governing body had suggested a shoot-out could be used to determine which of the two teams finishes bottom of the group. But a Uefa official attempted to clear up the confusion over the matter. "There is no way that France and Italy can go to a penalty shoot-out," a spokesman told BBC Sport.
The Netherlands have already secured top spot in the group but the other three teams in the so-called 'Group of Death' are still battling to clinch the other quarter-final berth.
A Romania victory would ensure their passage through to the knockout stages and effectively render the France-Italy game meaningless. But on Monday it was claimed that should Romania go through and France and Italy draw then their group positions would be determined by a shoot-out. However, Uefa has clarified that a penalty shoot-out would only be used to determine which team qualifies when two sides finish level on points and cannot be separated by goals scored.
Here is the official Uefa regulation:
"If two teams which have the same number of points, the same number of goals scored and conceded, play their last group match against each other and are still equal at the end of that match, the ranking of the two teams in question will be determined by kicks from the penalty mark, provided no other teams within the group have the same number of points on completion of all group matches."
GROUP C PERMUTATIONS
The Netherlands have won Group C and will play the Group D runners-up in the quarter-finals. Romania will qualify for the quarter-finals if they beat the Netherlands, eliminating France and Italy. If Romania fail to beat the Netherlands, the winner of France v Italy will go through. If France and Italy draw, a point against the Netherlands would be enough to send Romania through.
France must win to have any chance of qualifying. If France and Italy share a score draw (1-1, 2-2, 3-3 etc), Italy will go through if Romania lose (by any score). In this scenario, Italy, Romania and France will be level on two points each but Italy would have scored more goals in games between the 3 teams. Romania will finish bottom of the group if they lose and France and Italy draw 2-2, 3-3 or 4-4.
France will finish bottom if they draw 1-1 unless Romania lose 3-0 or by a four-goal margin. If France and Italy draw 0-0, Romania can lose by one goal, two goals or by a three-goal margin other than 3-0 but still qualify. In this scenario, Italy and Romania would have identical head-to-head records, but Romania would have better goal difference in ALL group matches or, in the case of the three-goal defeats, goals scored.
France would finish bottom, having scored fewer goals head-to-head v Italy and Romania. If Romania lose 3-0 to the Dutch, Italy would qualify with a 0-0 draw against France because of their superior coefficient points. France would finish bottom as they would have scored fewer goals head-to-head v Italy and Romania.
If Romania lose by four goals or more and the other game ends 0-0, Italy would proceed with a better overall goal difference than Romania. France would finish bottom as they would have scored fewer goals head-to-head v Italy and Romania.
If France and Italy draw AND Romania avoid defeat, then Romania go through.
Sekadar gambar hiasan. Brader ni dah tak main lagi utk Italy.
