[QUOTE="Lichtenhart, post: 1638834, member: 761"] I've got a really simple question for you, DarkMaster: what Figo, Beckham, Totti, Raul, Del Piero, Trezeguet, Davids (I could go on and on, but'll stop here), what all these people showed at this Euro makes you think their reputation as stars, as people who fill up stadiums, is deserved? Did they show you all the amazing moves and trick they can pull out? You say Greece was boring - was Italy better? or Germany? or France? or England? You didn't enjoy this Euro - and you're perfectly entitled to your opinion - but was that really Greece's fault? I don't know hockey well enough, and I dunno what changes could be made to football to make it more spectacular as you'd like it, but did the Greece do wrong in trying to stick to a game system that allowed them to win, Since they had no Ronaldo, Zidane or Beckham, and they couldn't make one for the occasion? Should they have just left room for the stars? This Euro, and the greek victory, failed to entertain you. But five people posted in this thread to congratulate them, probably because they did have been entertained. You like to see players that are able to do wonderful things when given the ball, other people may like to see wonderful goalkeepers (and Greece had one of them), or teams that really play as teams, or midfielders that can run forever, or impassable defenders. Other simply want to believe players that never give up, not even a minute before the penalties. It's not likely you can please everyone. Not everyone likes Real Madrid either. But in the end football is a sport. In a sport there are rules, and one should try to do his best within them. The greeks did. They won. If the others were better, than it is their fault they did not do their best. [/QUOTE]
