    [EU] The U-21 European Championship

    My Dad's favourite saying when it comes to international football is 'Never bet against the Germans'. It is never a surprise to see Germany in the semi-finals of a tournament, regardless of the quality of their squad.

    [EU] The U-21 European Championship

    That ability to go a long way in tournaments, even with a mediocre team is part of why I think Germany are better. Even when they have had a relatively poor team (like in 2002) they still make it to the latter stages. Italy rarely seem to make it a long way in tournaments unless they have a...

    [EU] The U-21 European Championship

    Germany were just so much clever than England. England are just strong and hard working. Germany are tactically astute and excellent on the counter attack.

    Germany look pretty solid. They just need to avoid giving England set-pieces.

    It wasn't a lucky goal. It was a great strike.

    Both, technically, were penalties. Both would have been pretty harsh, if given.

    [EU] The U-21 European Championship

    Aye, no doubt. I don't think Italy made a chance from open play, though, so they aren't that hard done by. Over the whole tournament, Italy's defensive unit, especially the CBs, were outstanding. There may not be another Nesta about to appear, but these kids are pretty damn good,

    :agree: The two teams with the greatest knowledge of how to grind out results in major tournaments.

    [EU] The U-21 European Championship

    It's extremely impressive. Remarkable that the U21 team is better organised than the senior team.

    [EU] The U-21 European Championship

    Italy were being outplayed by Serbia, so it was sensible for Italy to focus on holding on to the draw.

    [EU] The U-21 European Championship

    Sweden only had a couple of chances, which few chances considering Italy played the entire half with ten men. Casiraghi was also foolish to play without a striker towards the end, as it meant that Italy couldn't hold the ball at all, which resulted in more pressure.
