Im rooting for wales. I like portugal but I would like wales to win.
and I want france to beat germany, they have been very good throughout.

this is possibly the "real championship match". should be tough for each of them. I hope France wins (via my french roots), but I also think they will win regardless.. they have been impressive this tournament.

also glad to see Ronaldo in the finals.

man he looked like the Lochness monster today on that header/goal he made.

Ha never adarq, Germany is going to be very tough to beat! Even though they have their central defender, central midfielder (both 1st and 2nd choice), and central striker out they're still a very confident unit. I think it might hurt France that they're playing at home because if they chose to come out strong and attack, Germany can hurt them on the transition. That's what happened to Brazil when they got crushed 7-0.

France may chose to play it cautious but even then Germany comes at you strong. They haven't really exploded in any one match (maybe Slovakia) but I think they might be due. I like the French a lot, I really hope both teams play an open game and go at one another and we see a great game. It's just not happening much this tournament.

undoubtable,

GRIEZMANN!!!

i didn't actually see the foul that resulted in that penalty. but man, griezmann is so impressive.

france started out great early, then germany dominated for 35 minutes, then bam.

can't believe garoud screwed that opportunity up when he was on the break, mostly alone.

1-0 FR.

FRAAAANCE BEAAT GERMANNYYYY 2-0  :wowthatwasnutswtf:
Griezman the hero of the match.

The penalty was from a handball by schweintsteiger from a corner kick. He flew in leading with his hands.
When boateng was taken out, this gave france more advantage and the goal.

Now its a cruise to victory by france against portugal, which is not as difficut as germany, but anything can happen when ronaldo, nani are on the pitch.
Warm up drills
   - a walk, b skip quick powerful switch (heel to hams focus), a runs, dribbles small to big to run, straight leg to runs (force, reflex, go up/forward). force to hit the ground before it hits the ground knee/hip is at 90 degrees.
   - acceleration: low heel recovery, shin angle low, drive legs back before hitting the ground and drive thighs/knee forward not up
-------------------------------------------------------------
Measuring reminder:
5 toe to heel steps = 148cm

Arm also aids the legs in driving it down with power - seifullaah73

Congrats Adarq I didn't want to comment yesterday while still salty lol! I had my Germany jersey on too and listened to the first half on radio and watched the second half.

While listening I was confident that Germany was going to win since France came on strong in the beginning and left themselves open a bit (the Brazil comparison I made) but Germany just couldn't convert their play into goals. Tactically, they're the best side in the world I believe because they mix in those long diagonal balls from their back line to their wing backs out wide but also play a lot of Barcelona influenced tiki taka with the short secure passing through the middle of the pitch with the aim of drawing in defenders then you try and either switch the field or play in through balls to get opportunities back on goal. It sounded like they kept doing this in waves first half but just couldn't finish. They missed their big central forward Mario Gomez a lot. He's quite poor on the ball lol but he can hold back center defenders and just hold the ball long enough to allow other players to get into good position. Then he can also just tap in balls in the box by out powering players and running through them lol. Not pretty but useful.

Everything changed with that France penalty though. It took all the pressure off France so they could sit back on their half and counter attack. From what I saw they just had a lot of athletes out on the pitch and were shutting down the German players. Sissoko was amazing with his strength and power. And yea man Griezmann has been a hero, always at the right spot at the right time. His ability to win balls in the air is just rediculous. He just has great hops plus amazing technique in the air. We need to find a highlight reel of his goals. Then like seidullaah73 mentioned the other Germany center back got hurt and that made them even more volnurable. 2-0 game over congrats to France.

The only thing with Portugal is that they're going to make the game ugly and hard for France to win. They've done it all tournament and gone this far so it's not easy to beat a team with an identity even not the prettiest one lol. They won't take many risks and will make it hard for France to get through and Portugal will hope for one of their stars to step up and make something happen. You never in soccer matches honestly but France is obviously the favorite.

ya griezmann is just so smooth with the ball, being in the right spot, excellent passing, and so calm/under composure when he's on goal.. he doesn't just spaz out and kick a dud into the air.

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aim2JDVd54" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aim2JDVd54</a>

I was really worried in the first half of that game.. but, even though Germany was dominating, France had some great opportunities in that first half.. so they had chances while still being outplayed, and then bam, goal in what, the 44th minute?

i love the all blue jerseys with red high socks.




SUNDAY!!!

it was a great goal by eder. can't believe gignac's didn't go in and then that griezemann (?) was like 2 feet away from being in position for an easy tap-in.

Weird goal... the ball bounced on the ground a few times, that really messed up the goalkeeper, he was so late jumping for the ball.
