You have a pretty good memory, because I remember these same results as well. Euro 2000 was the most horrible match to watch, your team missed two penalty kicks in the regular game and another three in the shootout. I hope, your current team coach lets the players practice penalty kicks.

You have an even better memory if you remember the results of other countries than your own. And I hope we'll actually get to a stage where we need to take some penalty kicks That game in 2000 was horrible, we were definitely better than Italy but you could also say we deserved to go out when scoring only 1 penalty out of 6 attempts.


Well, it's not hard to remember the results of another country, if your own country has no previous results.

And no, you didn't deserve to go out. Italy played bad and I don't even remember them having a serious chance to score a goal. I was so happy when they lost the final, especially because Wiltord scored for the 1-1 in injury time to get the game into overtime. And Trezeguet finished the job with his golden goal.


Well, I never meant to say Italy deserved to go through, it was more that if you don't make any of the chances you create you're bound to lose in the end and you only have yourself to blame.

I really find it hard to say which country will win Euro 2008. There is a pretty big group of teams who have a shot at winning it, even Holland if we get through the group stages. I mean, did anybody seriously expected Greece to win it 4 years ago? So maybe that even provides some hope for Austria Rol! And even if they go out quickly it will still be their best result on a European Championship ever...
