Fucking crazy statistic. I remember when people used to say "have you ever seen a German miss a penalty?" then they lost vs Chelsea on penalties in '12 and since then we constantly saw Germans missing penalties (I distinctively remember Ozil missing one of his, don't remember if it was a big match for Arsenal or a qualifying for Germany)


Muller's pelanty against atletico that literally denied them a Champions League.
Then he goes on to pass it to Buffon.

vs what opposition ? A horrendous Romania, a meh Hungary and world beaters albania & iceland.

Dont even dare.


Vs what opposition did Iniesta and Xavi excel at this point in time (I know Spain faced Italy in the groups...) ? its too early to claim "best euro performance ever", as we'll have to wait and see how he plays vs Germany and Portugal/Wales, but if he plays at the same level he has previously, and France go on to win the cup, I dare say it'll be one of the ~ top 3 best performances at a Euro cup, ever.


I read somewhere that Zidane held the record for chances create at a Euro cup in 2000 with 15 chances.


Payet created 14 in his first two matches alone. And he's scored three goals. Two of them wonder goals. And how many assists, 2? 3?

I doubt Payet can do anything that could turn his performances into the best ever in the Euro, when you have guys like Platini, who in 1984 scored 9 goals (scoring in all 5 matches, including the final, and netting 2 hattricks along the way) managing to lead a mediocre side to their first ever Euro title (France had yet to qualify for a Euro at the time, as they hosted both 1960 and 1984 events but didn't make it to any other Euro tournaments until 1988, when they qualified for the first time ever).

Well, the US did qualify from a hard group on paper, but when you think about it they just got a draw against the worst portuguese side of the century, and a somewhat lucky late win against Ghana. They were weak against Belgium, and had it not been for Howard having the game of his life they'd have never made it to ET.


With the players they had, I was impressed with how they performed. They had passion and they had a good system in place. Ghana are a quality side, they play good football, honestly I doubt England would beat them. Belgium are a good team it's no shame being bossed by them when you're playing Altidore up front.

Moutinho did not want to shoot a penalti but Ronaldo conviced him
