UEFA EURO 2012 - Poland/Ukraine

[ShiftyPowers]

In a way he's like an FM player. He hasn't been shy about dropping the older players for better youngsters. Ballack is in the studio here in the States, and to my chagrin he hasn't been trashing Low and Lahm for being backstabbers, he's just been a proud fan.

Nice. If Germany conceded twice against Greece they should let in at least four against us. Of our matches on the way to the trophy the Germany semi final was the one which was worrying me the most but now I think we will coast it.

[Sir Calumn]

Hahahahahahahahaha fair enough that could happen

Ozil I think has been a little not up to expectations. Guess he is tired.

 

[MaestroZidane]

Entertaining game, was worried that Greece was going to sit back and we would have a 1-0 game.

 

[Sir Calumn]

Did anyone else think for a tiny second when the equalizer went in "maybe, just maybe?

I was in shock since it happened so fast. By the time the shock wore off, the Germans scored...

You know, I disagree after that second half. Ozil is awesome, and as I think Zonal Marking tweeted, the remarkable thing about him is that he is effective even when he isn't playing his best. And today I do think he was great aside from that miss, 2 assists, looked dangerous.

He's no Theo Walcott

Yeah, Ozil is awesome obviously and he hasn't been total **** but it is just I expected him to really shine big time to the level he is capable. He does look a little bit tired and it looks very hot out there.Also, I do wonder though if Muller and Podolski don't help him enough to create "magic" even though they are "solid".

Oooookayyyyy

Congratulations poet. You've just invented "mistaken-identity racism"

Ozil was fantastic! I was a bit skeptic with that 2 changes Low made with Schurrle and Reus, but that was full score. Amazing Germany, they just cemented my believe they will win the tournament, and not cause they beat Greece, but cause the overall performance they showed so far. I think there is no team that can match them at the moment.

First, Ozil is not Arab, he has Turkish background.
Second, he has a great personality and game, so why you like or dislike him base on his background.
Third, go **** yourself Carlos*ass.

yeah, he was great in second half, but he should score more.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Finishing is definitely the biggest weakness in his game, but he's so good at creating for others, and he's always surrounded by such great finishers, that it doesn't seem as big of a problem for him than it is for anyone else.

 

[kp41]

Schweinsteiger was great in group games, but he did so many mistakes yesterday, may miss passes. Altough, most of the times he got the ball back again.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

It was a problem in the second half of the season for Bayern too. Yesterday in about the 60th ish minute I was left wondering if Kroos wouldn't be a better option.
