Keep wondering!

I really don't like football matches to be decided on penalties, as so often seems to be the case.

My proposal would be, if scores are level after extra-time - then the match should be awarded to the side that had the most shots on target during the whole match (extra-time included). This would encourage more attacking football. If each team has the same total of shots on target, then number of corners should be used to decide it.

All these statistics are monitored, as those who take positions on them with betting houses know only too well.

Anyway, one thing's for sure - England won't win.

Sounds quite reasonable! I think it might help.

My heart say to me: Poland, but my brain answer - Croatia. They play great football, with passion. They smashed Germans in beautiful way.

Portugal also plays efficient football.

What about Holland, they look good now, but they always start very well and loose first match after group stage. Maybe this tournament will be different ? We will see, but I don't believe in it :)

I am really impressed by the playing of Holland now!

So just now my prediction is:
1. Holland
2. Spain
3. Portugal

Actually, the question makes me think about it a little bit different.  In my opinion, with this extraordinary tournament, all of we are going to win.  Hence, here the winners are the whole people who feel attracted by football, like me.  Let me tell you something, whether you like or not football, you probably are interested about the outgoing players.  In this Euro, there are excellent national teams.  As a result there are famous and incredibly talented players, such as Cristiano Ronaldo and David Villa.  They are the kind of model every single kid would like to follow.  They are strong and extremely well talented.  It is not a coincidence that they score goals and earn as much as they do.   I am sure that we all are going to win. 

Fabmaur.

Up to yesterday I thought that Holland would be the champion.

But after its yesterday's match with Russia I daresay Russia might win the whole championship.(At least I hope for it with respect to all other teams)
