(penalty shootouts...)
To me this seems a very dismal way to win or lose - a much "softer" ending thasn most other games trying to avoid a tie.
What about a boxing match between the managers instead of a penalty shoot-out? :smile:

When Greece beat France the other night, there was a massive flurry of text messages and phone calls between myself and my friends - everybody was overjoyed at the news! :lol:

My prediction:

CZE v POR in the final

I can't see the Greeks beating the Czechs - they're just too strong and home nations always do pretty well!

OK - I'm going to stick my neck on the block now and predict: Portugal as champions!

Personally I think it will be Portugal - Czech in the final, and the Czech will win 3 - 0. I think this is the beginning of the Czech Era, hehe.

Spirit: yes, this problem is discussed here many times, but no solution. We had a rule, the "golden goal", like "sudden death" in ice hockey. For this tournament, they try "silver goal": if one team leads after the first 15 min of the additional time, they have won. But this also will disappear. It's a problem. And the penalty shootout is preferred as a solution, since the old traditional solution was to throw a coin. (Like in the beginning of each game, when the winning captain decides what side his team wants to start and the others play the first ball) :smile:
Here they renamed Rehagel into Rehacles. Is a Rehacles enough to beat the "teacher of the chief"? I agree with Nisse. And I think that there is too much pressure for the portugese players, so I think there will be another CZE - HOL with the same result.

Nerves creeping in. Only few hours to wait.
Beer is in the fridge, windows and doors are environmentally sealed.
Good luck teams....
