now supa before you jump in say i dont understand resting players
i do
so portugal makes alot of changes, played like crap against the germans(im not saying portugal are crap supa) went out
croatia played a totally second team, out to turkey
dutch didnt make as many changes but made changes, lets see if russia take them down
spain made many changes, lets see if italy knock them out
italy never never had a chance to rest players
nor did russia
will be interesting to see if the teams that never made changes all go through, in a short comp like this im not so sure making all these changes really benefits teams when they play in a really big game, even though the players are rested they have still only played 2 games together, sure these teams played alot of friendlies but thats not he same as playing big group games

Resting players has been done since year dot and has benefited many previous world cup/euro winners.
Portugal lost because they a weaker side, nothing to do with resting players.
Croatia and Turkey were evenly matched but Turkey somehow is able to go a full game without losing a stride then punishing a team in the last minute (reminds me of Greece in the last euro)
I dont see Turkey getting past Germany and I'll go as far to say that it will be a Spain (my team) v Germany Final.

yep i know that but if all teams that rest players go out? can it be called a coincidence?
so your saying italy have no chance tomorrow night?
also italy have a very good past much like germany, so i dont see why spain will beat them? i mean they have a past and all

Never write Italy off. Just like Germany. And what about Holland?

no im not but according to supa and kule, teams with history will always win in the knock out stages you know history is the reason they win
i dunno hey i have a good feeling about russia, look holland can still win this comp no doubt but russia i think are go to give them their hardest matches of the euro so far

The way things are going it seems as if almost anyone could take it on their day. Only two more wins and you're in the final already

Tonight's game should be great with 2 attacking teams going for it
Croatia chocked last night. WTF 2 of the first 3 pen takers for Croatia were around 20. One wasn't even a first team regular.
I only caught their extra time goal on my cell- thought they had won it already
I reckon tonight will be good indeed. Hope Russia make a game of it.
Any nice places in CT to watch the Dutch/Russia game tonight with the family? Maybe have a late dinner tonight? I do not have DSTV
Henry's place. I'll PM you his address

LOL. Don't think it's quite big enough
Can't think of a cool spot where you can eat and watch - there is the Sports Cafe of course, but that lost its appeal for me years ago..

The Sports Cafe in the Waterfront closed some time ago. I was thinking of going to the Spur. The one in Plattekloof is usually nice & not so busy.

Really? It closed? I am not surprised
There is one at Grand West - I just remember it being loud and smokey...
Spur might work but they won't exactly 'show' the game. It'll be on in the background without the commentary

Holland vs Russia, should be a great encounter. I've been impressed with both teams, especially Holland; they've got some classy players.
