I would have preferred England as opponent for the German team, of course. The German record again st Italy is a disaster. Seven times they met at international tournaments: 4 draws and 3 defeats. Since 17 years a German team has not defeated Italy in exhibition meetings.

If the strong German team of the present does not defeat the Italian team, then a German team will never defeat Italy at tournaments, not in a hundred years.

The only good news here is that the English assisted the Germans in playing the Italians a bit tired.

Well the Eyeties did deserve to win

But I like that quote the Italians have had more shots than in ww2

Germany should have little problem overcoming Italy but I don't expect an avalanche of goals.

England

The semi-finals:

"Portugal : Spain 1:0
Germany : Italy 3:1"

The match against Portugal was the hardest game for Germany in the tournament so far. Now, with that Ronaldo boy in good shape, Portugal is even stronger. Italy has problems scoring goals.

=> final: "Portugal:Germany"

Give your title probability estimates!

I say:

Germany 40%
Spain 30%
Portugal 15%
Italy 15%

That is, quite literally, my favourite picture ever as of this moment.

I see the Dutch coach has resigned. The only one so far, I think, which must be something of a record for a European Championship.
