    "football-soccer" what a strange game .... but that is why is so beautiful..
    David many time beat Goliath.....
    Belgium having won 3 games they go home... Portugal never won any still there ...
    semifinal Portugal -Wales that would be a nice one
    England Beat Wales but then get trash from Iceland.....
    maybe this year's competition is a second or even third line FINAL :):)

    Best of luck to Italy, I think the German will win but I will root for Italy. Germany probably will dominate in possession but Italy will try to hit them on the counter attack ;)

    I am hoping for the Wales vs Iceland Finals :D Not likely to happen though, I think it will be Wales vs Germany and Germany wins the trophy in the Finals :D Wales will miss Ramsey but Portugal hasn't impressed me ;)

    Too bad Italy fell short :( They should be proud of their effort though, Germany has more individual talents and Italy held them to just one goal ;) The penalty kick shootout was pretty intense although the quality of the kicks was poor :rolleyes: Zaza had a really weird run up and he missed his kick badly o_O I hope we will see Buffon in the World Cup 2 years later :cool: Ciao, you said that Conte will be gone after this tournament, right? I hope you guys will find a good new manager ;)

    Argentina could be in crisis now with Messi and several others quitting the national team, Chile might be the best South American team in the World Cup 2018 :eek:

    yes Italy nearly did it.... if only they learn to be less emotional and score more penalties... still Sad but proud.:(:):D
    ZAZA to think that he came on just to kick the penalty!!!! (never miss any but missed the most important... very funny run :eek::eek:

    yes Conte terminated his Italian duty last night.... I do not have much faith in his replacement.. isn't too bad but in his career..
    he never won anythingo_O:rolleyes: but good experiences ... he take over a good base with those excellent layers left at home (injured) could make a good team for the future... lacking international experiences ... we will see ...

    Hiya Hitman yes I am very :(:(:(:( ;) :D isn't possible that we can't never win on penalty!!!!:mad::mad:

    Germany haven't missed a penalty (official matches) since 1986 and missed 3 last evening :eek:
    and last time Germany lost on penalty was 1972:eek: so we coulda have done better...

    ZAZA was better not to came on... apparently he never miss penalty....
    still for what Conte had IMO he did wonder

    later on play France - Iceland ... IMO France is the strongest team ... but this year it seems the "little" one go further...
    so sympathy for Iceland

    You guys won the penalty in 2006 :D Germany is known for great at penalty kicks but they actually didn't do so well yesterday :confused: Conte probably should have put Zaza into the game a little earlier, he didn't even get a chance to warm up o_O thanks for the information about the new manager, I hope he will be a good one for you guys ;)

    Iceland has been a great story, they should be proud of themselves. Germany vs France is going to be like the Finals, the winner of that match should win it all. Portugal winning a big tournament for the first time wouldn't be a bad story too, but they need to start playing better football for me to root for them :rolleyes:
