One of my buddies is keen to remind me that, as per Trapatoni, all you need is one chance. There are a number of reasons why that is some pie-in-the-sky bullshit.
Greece gave it the ol' college try and lost. The finishing by Khedira and Reus illustrated why Greece was never going to win. I don't know what y'all thought was going to happen.
Still, the way it played out should make the Greeks infinitely prouder than if they held out for 80 minutes, only to lose 1-0 without showing any discernable attack. After falling behind, they had to go looking for a goal...and they GOT it. At 60 minutes, they had Merkel- that, as per Berlusconi, unfuckable lard-ass- squirming in her bloomers...and the rest of the Germans squirming in their thongs.
Now, we get into the really saucy matchups.
SPA over FRA - I must be losing my mind. I really want to pick North Africa. Spain can be picked off. There is a blueprint. Milan showed it and a Chelsea side with more talent turned the trick. While France still feel like they have something to prove after embarrassing themselves in South Africa and, despite the respect I have for Larry White (Laurent Blanc), I just don't believe that they can pull it off.
