Euro 2012 Thread

If its me, I'll send my players from best to worst when it comes to penalties. You can probably workout all kinds of scenarios, but at the end of the day it comes down to pressure. If you keep putting them in the back of the net then you keep the pressure on the other side.

You also avoid a scenario were your best player doesn't take a kick at all.

The problem with this is that sometimes players don't feel they can take a penalty kick, now you don't want to force a guy to take a penalty kick.

Some coaches just tell the players who will be taking the kicks, some coaches ask who wants to take one.

If you don't feel that you can take a penalty then you're not good at taking penalties by default. Taking a penalty is about the technical ability as well as the mental strenght.

My best to worst tactic still holds if this is applied.
 
My my my. I'm surprised. Not by super mario but by the german impotency. Enter klose.
 
Very disappointing loss and with it my interest in Euro 2012 died.

German impotency and defensive frailty cost them. So good at building up but they lacked the teeth to finish and so often was their defense found lacking. Badstuber letting Balotelli beat him for the first was shocking. He had it covered bu somehow let him get to the ball first. And for the second, what the heck was the defense doing? It parted like the Red Sea and Balotelli strolled into space.

On the offensive side, they bag 34 goals in 10 qualifiers - only the Dutch scored more - and suddenly they cannot finish things off when it counts. They made the Greeks look better than what theye were as well.

Germany are quickly becoming world football's bridesmaids. World Cup runners-up in 2002. 3rd place at World Cups 2006 & 2010. Euro 2008 runners-up. Beaten semi-finalists at Euro 2012. So much talent is being wasted.

Please dont do that...
 
Since every team I decide to support goes out, I've decided I'll be supporting Spain in the final. :D
 
FORZA ITALIA!!!!! That'll show these Pundits how wrong they are!!!
 
I've been avid Italian supporter since the WC 1990 :)

So dumb how the press was saying that Germany fell on their own sword and how they buckled... Italy out played them, they stuck 2 defenders on Gomez whilst they used Pirlo to thwart the German's attack as Gomez was used to stop Pirlo
