Yeah I mean Iceland's performance in the tournament makes perfect sense as a display of the value of proper organisation and coaching. Individual moments from yesterday were next level though.
― Matt DC, Saturday, 2 July 2016 11:44 (seven years ago) link
you only really need one or two good players and perhaps a decent defence to do quite well in this kind of tournament. the champions league used to be a bit like this too but the big clubs are significantly more consolidated powers now.

i mean assuming you've got a world class coach like chris coleman
So what's it gonna be tonight?
Will be interesting to see if Italy can disrupt Germany enough. I'll give 'em a chance and a half, also because this is the tournament of the aforementioned team effort etc.

Cant call it
Think it will be clear early on either way tho

Yeah I really don't know about this one, Germany can be punished with their seemingly shakey defence lately but I didn't watch much of any of the Italy games so I just can't call a winner.
My heart wants Germany to win though.

And for the euro's to stop with these arbitrary one minute applauses. Well meent perhaps, but c'mon.
