    One unlikeable thing is that there are players having a personal hair stylist with them that work on their braids before the games

    I thought the Swiss were dreadful, everything that was good about them in previous games had gone, they bottled it.

    Dutch vs England will be about as fun as poking your eyes out with a dull spoon. Turkey was a breath of fresh air. Pure passion and fight. I'd have loved them to win the full thing.

    No, the Dutch will do England. England have played diddy teams so far, the Dutch will have a proper go, unlike the diddy teams, plus the Dutch hate the English, it's an old rivalry.

    I definitely think the teams of today are weaker than the teams of yesteryear

    I'd love to see Spain win it, but as poor as France have been i think they could expose Spain's weakness in defence.

    This is a bang average Dutch team, tournaments of the past they had some World class players.

    This new era of management/style of play is a * bore. Hardly any individuality anymore. Go back 15 years and there was at least a few individuals who could/would create out of nowhere in each nation

    I'll be totally honest mate, it would've been a better line had Turkey actually won, but nevertheless had to shoehorn it in somehow. :41:

    Ouwith Spain, and to a lesser extent, Germany, the tournament’s excitement factor has largely been carried by the ‘smaller’ nations. It’s been grim watching sides filled to the brim with supposed superstars go out and play timid and largely unadventurous football.

    I really enjoyed the start of the this tournament but it's gotten rotten as it's gone on. As others have said, teams far too tactical and big names not firing has meant there's been a real lack of quality. Thank * for Spain.

    Outwith Spain i think there's been a real lack of bravery from teams, constant back passing and a reluctance to get the ball into the box, it''s made for really tedious viewing.

    That Guler is good. This whole tournament has been brutal aside from Spain man, but Turkey at least went for it.
