Em, I'll fill in the rest after the final :) But I can answer a few now..

best/funniest(or both) quote of the tournament: (I think it was lawrenson) His first touch was so bad, his second touch would need to be a sliding tackle... :lol: Loved it!

your views on the tournament as a whole: Excellent. So many unexpected and unpredictable results :)

What's it for Pri? like the school newspaper or for a project?

I'll try to fill in most of them, but decide after the final for some...

best/funniest(or both) quote of the tournament: Probably something one of the commentators has said...or VDV said something like "we last won it by a flukey goal" in a interview whilst sitting by the scorer, his manager.

Funniest moment: Switzerland V Turkey, hilarious monsoon weather match!

best game and why: Turkey V Germany. Maybe. *pending final

worst game and why: Spain V Italy. Just very boring, nothing really happened and ended up having to be settled on penalties. Could have been so much better.

best player and why: Ballack. Led his team to the final, I think he is a great captain and has scored some vital goals for his country. Him and Frings have a good partnership in Mid-field.

worst player and why: I guess I'll judge this on biggest letdown, it's easier. So either
Mario Gomez or Luca Toni.
Both had fantastic seasons in die Bundesliga, scoring lots of goals, but I don't think either of them actually scored in the whole tornament.

Your finest 11: Casillas
Ramos Van Bronkhorst Pepe Lahm
Sneijder Ballack Iniesta Robben
Villa Podolski


best manager: Guus Hiddink, probably. It's hard to tell when teams are on different levels completely.

worst manager: Beanhacker? I don't really know, just for that cartoon.

your views on the tournament as a whole: Exciting, unbeleivable, dramatic, unexpected, better without England!, I don't want it to end, shows English football fans that there are other leagues than the premier league. For me, great as the teams I liked did well and those I didn't went out :lol:

This isn't of a match, but I just love how they were so happy they didn't know what to do and jumped into a river in their underwear!
But this too

I just love the amazement on the fans behind's faces, probably better ones but I like it!

I really don't know...I'll keep an eye out! ;)

Funniest moment: the first half of Switzerland V Turkey, especially that goal.
best game and why: wow, a lot. I will say every match the Dutch played except the one against Romania. All the crazy Turkish come-backs.
worst game and why: France vs Romania, do I really need to say more?
best player and why: I'll answer that after the final.
worst player and why: It's hard to think of one player, I'll just say Greece and all the strikers in the Austria team (but they tried very hard, I have to give them that).
Your finest 11: Answer that after the final.
best manager: Slaven Bilić (Croatia) or Fatih Terim (Turkey)
worst manager: Raymond Domenech (France), has he done anything right?
your views on the tournament as a whole: Great! A lot of surprises but great.

best/funniest quote of the tournament: (I think it was lawrenson) His first touch was so bad, his second touch would need to be a sliding tackle... :lol: Loved it.

Funniest moment: When Iker stood on the cup holder thing to get the trophy haha

best game and why: Turkey - Germany. 5 goals, a last minute winning goal, turkey showing great character, no-one expected turkey to play well and thought because germany turned up they'd win.

worst game and why: France - Romania, I can't even remmember one moment of excitement in that game.

best player and why: Marcos Senna! Held it all together for spain & has a winners medal too!

worst player and why: Luca Toni/Mario Gomez. Both hyped up so much with their goal tallies for the season being excellent but haven't a goal between them. Gomez is still in & might score but has looked woeful so far.

Your finest 11:

.............Casillas
Sabri...Puyol...Chiellini...Lahm

......Senna

Sneijder...Ballack...Arshavin

Villa...Podolski

best manager: Has to be Fatih Terim, poor guy did brilliantly with like 14 fit players!

worst manager: Domenech. How did he balls up so badly with the talent in his squad?

your views on the tournament as a whole: Excellent. So many unexpected and unpredictable results. Agree with lep aswell, no england = less bias from the bbc/itv even though they always managed to get a few england comments in when croatia and russia played. Such as... "which was the only qualifying group to produce two quater finalists? Englands group!" Yes John, hard to believe maybe they are actually better than england.
Oh & there's hardly been any diving about, acting like fairies, faking injury etc. which makes matches much easier to watch.

Picture of the tournament: I think this one needs to be the winners ^_^

best/funniest(or both) quote of the tournament:It was before the quarterfinal between Germany-Portugal when Lehmann said that he knew Ronaldo pretty well casue he'd met him in the premiership and Ronaldos answer to that was "yeah i've scored a couple of times on him!" :lol:
Funniest moment: Whenever you got to se Fatih Terim during Turkey's matches :lol:
best game and why: Wow there were quite a few, Holland-France becasue they scored some great golas then!! Turkey-Czech Rep. mostly cause of the end :lol: Holland-Russia, two good teams, one great game! (sounded very cheezy i know :rolleyes: ) But there has been many more!
worst game and why: Spain-Italy expected more from 2 teams of that calibre
best player and why:Iker Casillas, i think he is forgotten in this talk. People only focus on the players up front who scores. But Iker has saved Spain many times in this tournament
worst player and why:Luca Toni, i just expected more from him after what he has done these past few years
Your finest 11: Casillas
Ramos Puyol Pepe Zjirkov
Van der Vart Senna Xavi Sneijder
Villa Arshavin

best manager:Fatih Terim
worst manager:Domenech or maybe Donadoni, i mean Italy actually were the defending world champions. And even though they made it to the quarters they didn't really play like champions
your views on the tournament as a whole: Very good!!! in Sweden they keep saying Football has won!! and it has!! we really have gotten to see some great games!
