Subject: RE: BS: UEFA EURO 2012 (football)
That was a very good performance by Portugal. They seem to be in gear now and there is a lot more about them than just Ronaldo. I have no doubt that they would give England a right mauling and they may well be a match for even Germany or Spain in this form.
I expect a really dire game tomorrow. Germany have the will but not so much imagination to break down Greece. I think they will just about make it in the end. England have probably gone as far as a modest amount of talent can take them. Does that mean it is shaping up for a Germany vs Italy semi-final?
On paper the Spanish should eat the French - but the game is not being played on paper. I also reckon that with the Spaniards' tenedency to over elaborate and the French habit of suddenly coming good without warning, it looks too close to call. At the moment Portugal are looking the most attractive side left in it. Who would have thought that ten days ago?
