I predict Spain will beat Portugal by 2 goals. Spain are short priced favorites to go back to back.
Germany - Italy that game can go either way but Germany are favourites.

You are right, things need to chane but it's not to a copy cat passing game. We need to play like English football. Our defence is great our attack is not, we need to scare opposition attacks and defenders instead of letting them pass. Need to place pressure on them. In this last game, Carroll (as a big man) should have started and pressured Pirlo out of the game, scare him. Also our left is weak also, 2 best lefts the United Kingdom has produced in years and they both play for Wales. :P In 4 years, our team could be awesome, the young players are only going to get stronger.

I don't really understand what you mean by this "scare" business. Do you mean you would have liked Carroll to stick to Pirlo? Surely dropping that deep would have rendered him useless. The only thing he can do well is be big up front, he needs to stay up there. Also, I sincerely doubt Pirlo would be quaking in his boots if that lummox was marking him. He's too slow to pressurise players far up the pitch.
If Lescott and Carroll were playing from the start instead of Wellbeck and Millner then England would've won.
Oh, and whoever decided to let Ashley Young take a penalty is a fucking moron.

Roy Hodgeson is a terrible manager too. They NEED Harry Redknapp!
Oh, and the Spain & Portugal game WILL BE THE WORST FOOTBALL GAME OF ALL TIME!! Both are fucking terrible to watch.

The bitterness is strong on this one .
Funny, I've only read how entertaining Portugal matches have been since the Portugal - Denmark match. I guess everyone was wrong. England matches on the other hand have been amazing, a true marvel to behold? Especially yesterday's england performance, which was nothing short of sublime .

England were TERRIBLE yesterday, I'm not denying it. Spain & Portugal game will be a game of all passing and no action. Mark my words.

I presume you mean Walcott, not Lescott. Neither he or carroll made much of a differnece when they were playing, did they? Why in God's name do you think they could have won if they started? England were dreadful and totally outclassed, they would have needed a lot more than that to have won the game.
As for your other post, England weren't exactly a joy to watch either were they? Portugal are a very exciting team who actually try to attack and a joy to watch. I can only assume you only watched them against germany, or not at all

You wish your Team played 1/10 of what Portugal and Spain Play. Better luck on the World Cup. The 4 Best European Teams are on the Semi Finals.

I doubt that will happen. Even in WC 2010, when Portugal was playing like utter shit on a stick, the Portugal - Spain match was at least better than Spain - France on this current Euro.
And now that we found a much balanced attack form, I doubt Paulo Bento will go back and undo all that just to play Spain. Not only would that be football suicide, it wouldn't make any kind of sense at all.
