Oh, and what got the Koreans to the semis was the refs. :read:

Sure there were a number of dubious calls for Korea in the world cup, but what Hiddink turned Korea into is undeniable.

Sure they've got to improve their play, Max. Especially when it comes to finishing. And there's still not enough confidence in defense. But don't forget Andrei Arshavin, who captained Russia through the qualification, will finally be available for the Sweden game after serving a suspension.

i have to say that i'm very happy that the greek team is out. their way of playing makes me sick and it's good not to have teams like that in the euro
don't get me wrong, i've got nothing against the greek people, in fact i like greece very much but after what happened in euro 2004 i hate the greek NT, they "stole" the perfect euro from us and i'll never forgive them that

I think it will be the end of ultra defensive Greeks after Euro 2008. Their manager is a daft c*nt if he continues to play that way. He should be watching Austria matches to see how much good attacking football benefits their team.

Exactly. Austria has the worst team of the Euro and still is playing very nice football and going attack. Kudos to that.

Yup, we all would rather have our countries play some nice eye pleasing football and get knocked out in the first round, rather than playing ugly but winning the EURO. Who cares about the EURO anyway, right?




Common, lets be serious here. As much as i hate the way greeks play like all of you, you can't be attacking them like they should have played differently. If that's the way they know how to win, then that's how they'll play because at the end of the day you play to win, not to entertain the crowd. If it was all for pure crowd entertainment we wouldn't have all this riddiculous amount of diving, elbowing and leg-breaking tackling in football as we do these days. Hate the way they play, but let's not call them names and such as if its an unwritten rule that every team has to play attacking football.

The point is, they played ugly football and did not qualify. It may have worked back then in 2004, but teams have figured them out already.
