Well I thought it was one of the best ones, very exciting. One must feel a bit sorry for any team to lose in penalties, but Italy was better. Still great game a some fine sprotmanship on both sides. What a great match!

Frankly I fell asleep on it. The first 15 mins were exciting until you have realized that the most predictible moment is when the ball gets anywhere near the goal line. You simply knew in advance that the only thing that will happen is some player missing the gate by meters.

I am not a score-w*re but watching two teams for 90 minutes doing little more than predictibly missing one opportunity after the other is just BOREDOM in my book. I was seriously considering leaving the whole match and simply go home after half time. And I couldn't care about the penelties after that, I simply checked the results on the internet. I have expected something of a bore from the Italians, and hoped that the English team will make an interesting spice in that mix, playing the type of football I actually like. They didn't.

Goalkeepers had their moments though..

Try basketball Kurfurst, you seem to need instant gratification.

Of the 4 games England-Italy was the only one worth watching. Spain-France, Czech-Portugal, Germany-Greece were snore fests.

Some people find the paraolympics exciting, too. I don't. If I want to see lame football, I only have check out the local teams.

Be sure, Hungary didn't even make it out of the qualifying phase to the 16.

I never cease to thank God for that
