spyboy1 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Can I just say for the 10,00th time that I can't think of a single reason why extra time shouldn't be sudden death? It's just insane that a sport with such limited goal scoring would allow a game to continue when someone scores in extra time.rant over.

Seadragon76 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Wow.. First, Portugal suffers from the piss poor performance against the weak ass Swiss and falters against a German team that they are clearly better then (I don't care what the excuse, there are no excuses for half assing a game against anyone in this tourny).Now, Turkey pulls another one out of their asses today. If anyone asked you if there was going to be a Germany-Turkey semifinal in Euro 2008, you'd laugh at him and say he's freaking crazy...Well, look's who laughing now.

It's just insane that a sport with such limited goal scoring would allow a game to continue when someone scores in extra time.rant over.Because what transpired today is exactly why they don't.It also depends on the tournament, as in the 1990s international tournaments generally had Golden Goal (See: Euro 1996 Final) or around 2002 Silver Goal (If the tie is broken at the half time of Extra Time, the game is over), but seeing as most tournaments still went to penalties because both sides would simply put 10 men behind the ball throughout Extra Time to prevent a goal from being scored, the old system was restored after Euro 2004 when FIFA put the kibosh on Golden and Silver Goals. [Croatia National Team Manager Slavan] Bilic then went on to explain how Croatia's success can partially be put down to his progressive man-management techniques. "Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes." Maybe Capello could try getting through to his players this way too?

Fred T. Jane Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Euro 2000 ended in Golden Goal didn't it?Who cares about 2000. I just care about 1996 because the Germans won. And since I'll be out in the middle of the woods teaching n00bs how not to get lost in the woods for a week, my finals prediction (At least I'll be back in time to watch it):Germany over Holland 2-1.

heernumurr Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Some statistics or something showed that during "classic" extra time, there was more than one goal scored a surprising amount of the time. That's why Silver Goal was brought in, giving the opposition a chance to equalise (see Portugal vs England 2004). But I assume FIFA and the rest realised this was just stupid, and now extra time is back in it's normal guise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFoA Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Well, it's the last 10 minutes of the game, and probably the last ten minutes of the Dutch's stay in Euro 2008. Russia's played damn good football, making Ruud and van Persie invisible, Sneijder off of his game, Robben not even making an appearance, and the back four finally proved penetrable. If this is the way that the Dutch are gonna go out, then what a way to go out with a whimper. It's kinda sad to see how well they played in the group stage, and now it's like this.EDIT:WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORUUD!!!!I will never doubt anything in this tournament.

Seadragon76 Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 OK, what gives with all of these good teams screwing around here in the Quarters?Group A winner Portugal lays an egg against Germany just days after a half-assed showing against SwitzerlandGroup B champ Croatia lets the Thrilling Turks back into the game at the very end of Extra Time only to crash and burn in a shootout.Group C champ Holland is having issues with Russia. Considering what they did in that group, they should of at least scored 4 or 5 goals on Russia.Either the knockout stages give these second place teams some new life or the group winners just lay an egg at this point... Speaking of laying an egg, Russia just scored. What a perfect time for the Dutch to play their worst game in the tourny.Edit: Nail. In. The. Coffin. Russia scores again to make 3-1. I suggest leaving the room now before TFoA decides to explode like a volcano. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One step the wrong direction can change a match.Don't get me started on penalty kicks though. As exciting as they may be, you might as well just have a game of rock-paper-scissors decide it, since it's 99% the luck of choosing right.And, see ya later Holland. 3-1 Ruskies.

dfwabel Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 The Netherlands played too safe. Like the Stanley Cup playoffs, Safe = Death. Russia controlled the game's pace and deserved to win. Now I think that Italy will back into the final as Spain generally chokes. Overall, that game was great to have on ABC if people looked at it. Good luck MLS to capitalize....again.

dfwabel Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Feel bad for Van Basten and Van Der Sarwell the good thing is South Africa is only 2 years awaythe first ET goal, he got beat badly. Plus, utside of him being a supposed r@pist, why leave a 31 year old Kleivert off your team? That's Marco's fault. Scoring wins and goals bring the US audience; he creates havoc downfield.
