Up there with greece

But at least with Greece - they were amazing defensively.

What's interesting is both Greece and Portugal won by beating the host in the finals

So Ronaldo can run around and attempt to play, but then needs to be carried off in a stretcher?

There are some overly dramatic weenies in soccer...

Portugal didn't deserve to be in the finals, but they deserved to beat France in the final. That was an uninspiring soccer by France.

I'm getting tickets to Real Salt Lake vs Inter Milan. I don't have a clue about soccer outside of the US really. These tickets are like double the price of regular tickets. Is it worth it?

I don't even know what happened to France. That was just a weird performance. I mean Ronaldo left...and still played half scared or whatever it was.

They had plenty of shots on target after he left to win.

Looks like Gotze will head back to Dortmund.

I was a big supporter of his, but his absolutely lifeless performance in the Euro's proved to me he needs to go somewhere else. Hopefully he can get his career back on track.
