Euro 2008: Holland and Portugal no match for Germany's winning mentality - Football News - Telegraph
www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/main.jhtml?xml=/sport/20... On paper they have nothing like the quality England possess and yet, if they overcome a Turkish side that can barely put 11 men on to the field, they will be through to another final of a tournament for which England did not even qualify.
Bollocks! England possess more quality than Germany !? Yes yes. I can clearly see Cashley Hole is better than Lahm , Gerrard better than ballack. Bentley better than Schweini. F*** alan Hansen for writing such crap. Labels:

www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/main.jhtml?xml=/sport/20... Everyone on Planet Football knew about Hiddink's talent so why should he audition, like a graduate fresh from drama school, for a post he was so eminently qualified for? The FA were insistent on having a range of Apprentice-style interviews, so Hiddink headed into the arms of the grateful Russians, and England ended up with Steve McClaren and a summer off. poor england Labels:

www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/main.jhtml?xml=/sport/20... In terms of the respective coaches' experience, it was no contest and Marco van Basten, as the national anthems were played (unlike Guus Hiddink, he knew the words to his team's), might have been excused a wish he and Hiddink could be tested on their ability to volley goals from a narrow angle instead.
no wonder why Labels:

www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/main.jhtml?xml=/sport/20... Croatia have clean edge If Uefa had decided Friday night's game by fewest fouls conceded or number of cards accrued, instead of penalties, then Croatia would be in the semi-finals.
Fouls: Croatia 19, Turkey 22 Yellow cards: Croatia 0, Turkey 4 And if the number of 'dives' and 'faked injuries' were taken into account over the course of the whole tournament? Croatia would win again. Dives: Croatia 2, Turkey 5 Faked injuries: Croatia 3, Turkey 4 It would be great if FIFA found out a way to punish divers and fakers. After the match atleast. Labels:

www.whoateallthepies.tv/2008/06/euro_2008_five_18.... Croatia might have prevented England from qualifying, but they seem to have picked up our love of penalty shootouts from Wembley. Two off target and one saved - we would be proud of that!

www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/main.jhtml?xml=/sport/20... Portugal simply could not deal with Miroslav Klose nor Ballack in
the air. The pair headed in dead-ball deliveries from the
outstanding Bastian Schweinsteiger, who himself finished off a move
of such free-flowing beauty that it could have been invented by the Dutch.
They talk as if the Dutch invented football. Labels:

At least with Portugal out, we might finally reach the end of the world's most boring transfer saga. Cristiano Ronaldo, I beg of you, stay or go, just don't drag it out any longer. Thanks!

www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/main.jhtml?xml=/sport/20... That he receives a yearly salary of 1.2 million Croatian Kuna - a paltry £125,000, but up from £45,000 - says much for his devotion to duty. Those who know him insist his loyalty to his country is beyond question. Put simply, he loves his job and loves his country.
holy shit! that is just too low. lesser than what the giants at chelsea earn! Labels:
