Maybe it was too good. But surely there are other videos of the highlights of the game.

Which means nobody, absolutely nobody, has won against Portugal be it in regular time or by penalties or any other way. Isn't it?

It isn't.  A majority of the teams have been undefeated.

Team: won against : lost against
Poland: Ukraine, Northern Ireland : nobody
Wales: Slovakia, Russia : England
Belgium: Ireland, Sweden, Hungary : Italy
Germany: Ukraine, Northern Ireland, Slovakia : nobody
Italy: Belgium, Sweden, Spain : Ireland
France: Romania, Albania, Ireland : nobody
Iceland: Austria, England : nobody
Portugal: nobody : nobody

It isn't. 
You must be stupid indeed.

By the way, what is your team? China?
Probably the one that wins...
A matter of attitude.

Probably and desirably, Portugal-Germany at the final :)
A matter of attitude.

...is fotball really what captivates the European mind?  :)  Such intelligence and perspicuity! No wonder -- nah. It's pointless. They are what they are.
You're absolutely right Oakdale.
Never Europe went for such a low level.

Football as turned to the modern days equivalent to medieval jousting tournaments that acts as the simulacrum of wars.
We can't afford wars anymore, so we have football...


A matter of attitude.

Desirably from your and my point of veiw of course. :)  But I'm sure that many people don't share this point of view. ;)
Besides, the French team is IMO a serious candidate for the trophy.

Et voilá, Portugal at the final, as expected.  :hat:
Not too much effort to send Wales home.

Tomorrow will be a relaxing day watching the Teutons against the Gaulois for determining the next and final victim.
A matter of attitude.

José Manuel Barroso to work for Goldman Sachs

The 'magic' revolving door:
Mario Draghi: Goldman Sachs => European Central Bank - President, José Manuel Barroso: Goldman Sachs <= European Commission chief

Speaking of Goldman Sachs:
Did big U.S. banks contribute to the financial crisis in Greece?
The question is rhetorical. Of course they did. Greece is the lever used for weakening the Euro and Goldman Sachs one of the main players.

The goal:
Hedge Funds Try 'Career Trade' Against Euro
"This is an opportunity...to make a lot of money," says Hans Hufschmid, a former senior Salomon Brothers executive who now runs GlobeOp Financial Services SA, a hedge-fund administrator in London and New York.

Conclusion:
The past and present of people like Mario Monti or Mario Draghi is no secret.
Arousing question - how is it possible that such people got hoisted into important functions within the EU???

To me the EU looks more and more like an ox led through a bearing race. In the future it might share the fate of such an ox ...

Probably most of us remember the hysteria about alleged Russian subs in Sweden's territorial waters.
It took some time till the truth managed to surface.
It was a German sub. (source, source)
However still no mention in the main German propaganda outlets about this (staged) incident.
The desinformation campaigns of the cold war have been successfully reactivated.
Déjà vu - during the 80thies, the Pentagon (in agreement with Sweden's military) has sent Italian subs in Swedish territorial waters in order to point the fingers at the Soviets and to create panic and willingness among the Swede for a NATO membership.

Here's a case of a real Russian submarine caught/stranded in Swedish waters, on film https://dndsanctuary.eu/index.php?topic=481.msg28714#msg28714

Finns have had more issues with Russian subs than Swedes, but they complain less. They are more cautious with their immediate neighbour.

Traitors always have a bright future these days. Specially with Americans, Russians don't pay so well - it was always their problem.
People like that one used to be simply defenestrated around here.
A matter of attitude.

There was in fact no proof it was a Russian submarine.

Since childhood I have only had one national team as a favourite, the only national team in my opinion it is worth supporting, and it has done pretty well lately. For Euro 2016 it had had these wins, draws and losses:

Turkey
, Latvia, Netherlands, Czechia, Kazakhstan, Czechia, Netherlands, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Turkey, Portugal, Hungary, Austria, England, France

It also won over the tournament winner, a consolation for not advancing to the semi-final. 


Portugal almost achieved a perfect stealth win, that is not winning a single game in regular time, but still winning the tournament, had it not been for that win over Wales.

Here's the updated chart: 

Team: won against : lost against (in regular time)
Poland: Ukraine, Northern Ireland : nobody
Wales: Slovakia, Russia, Belgium : England, Portugal
Belgium: Ireland, Sweden, Hungary : Italy, Wales
Germany: Ukraine, Northern Ireland, Slovakia : France
Italy: Belgium, Sweden, Spain : Ireland 
France: Romania, Albania, Ireland, Iceland, Germany :  nobody
Iceland: Austria, England : France
Portugal: Wales : nobody
