    Just looking at the fact, that one team with 4 draws and 2 wins can make ti the final... It may be that never was spent so much money for such a crap...

        We can test some of the laws of God like we can test the laws of science to find out if they are abolished or not. To find out if the law of gravity was nailed to the cross, we can drop things. You see, every law has a penalty (or it wouldn't be a law, it would be a suggestion). When you break the speed limit law, the penalty is a fine. When you engage in football hooliganism, the penalty is a ban or deportation or worse. There are football hooligans from the 1990s still held in the remains on concentration camps in Europe.

              Yeah since they added the 1/8 finals the whole system seems broke. I found it refreshing to have more teams going on at first but since it was "easily" possible to go on with 3 draws it felt kinda broke. I think they have to review the points system to rebalance it now.

              Rules for the FOSW ![^]

              if(this.signature != "")
              {
              MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
              }
              else
              {
              MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
              }

                And they probably only scored two goals to get those four draws and two wins :D

                  It made the group stages really dull when games where both teams were happy for a draw due to 3 out of 4 qualifying. Actually it's been one of the worst tournaments for entertainment there's been in years. It seems to have caused all the big teams to end up in one half of the draw also.

                      Think yourself lucky. It was possible to win the whole thing with 7 draws. The 24 team tournaments in the World Cup were disastrous but never let it be said that UEFA lets cold, hard experience get in the way! There were only 53 teams entered in the first place but it took 266 games to whittle that down to just below half. Then it took another 36 games to get rid of just another 8 before sanity in the form of actual knockout games took over. Hardly the stuff of dreams!

                      I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

                        Tempting as it is to believe that France and Germany were always going to end up in one semi-final if they won their groups as expected. The other semi would still have been Portugal if they'd won the group as expected so it's really only Wales that represented the fly in the ointment on that side of the draw.

                        I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

                          Spain, England and Portugal were all supposedly the favorites in their respective groups. Both England and Spain would have ended up in the other half of the table if they would have been the group winner. For Portugal it didn't really matter, as they'd have gone into that half of the table anyways. I'd say if all of the favorites would have lived up to the expectations the table would have been quite balanced.

                            Nah, that's just London! :laugh:

                            I came into this game for the action, the excitement. Go anywhere, travel light, get in, get out, wherever there's trouble, a man alone. Now they got the whole country sectioned off, you can't make a move without a form.
