EA Sports Predicts Portugal Will Win UEFA Euro 2008
Portugal narrowly defeats Italy in the simulated tournament.
US, June 5, 2008 - And the UEFA Euro 2008 trophy goes to… Portugal! EA Sports today declared the winner of UEFA Euro 2008. Using the simulation engine in the UEFA Euro 2008 videogame, EA Sports was able to test all 16 teams in the competition and determine that Portugal would come out on top. UEFA Euro 2008, the officially licensed videogame of the tournament, also predicted the following placements:
- UEFA EURO 2008 Champion: Portugal
- UEFA EURO 2008 Final: Portugal 2 Italy 1
- Golden Boot winner: Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal (5 goals)
Players around the globe will compare these astonishing statistics to the real world results as they unfold. The Final itself was an epic battle where Italy's resilient defense was pitted against Portugese flair, with Portugal ultimately winning 2-1 to capture its first European championship. Goals from Deco (28th) and Ronaldo (63rd), his fifth goal of the tournament, staked Portugal to a 2-0 lead early in the second half before midfielder Andrea Pirlo scored in the 75th minute to bring the Italians to within one. Portugal survived a frantic final 15 minutes to capture the Henri Delaunay Trophy.
In the EA Sports simulation, old rivalries were reignited. France was beaten 2-0 by Italy in one semifinal, in a replay of the 2006 FIFA World Cup Final won by the Italians 5-3 in penalty kicks. In the EA Sports simulation the two teams played to a 1-1 draw in a group stage match.
Portugal knocked off Germany 2-0 in the other semifinal.
Host countries Austria and Switzerland both successed to advance from the group round. Switzerland was the first country eliminated from the competition. Luck also ran out for Croatia in the group stage. After knocking off England in qualifying, Croatia had injury problems, losing star forward Eduardo among others, and successed to advance from Group B.

that we should see, as they didnt show so much change from the previous games, so I wouldnt hope so high for Italy, however Netherlands kept playing that soccer that kicks ass, so did Croatia, my champ should be either Croatia or Netherlands.....

Man i tell you italy is very lucky they played an under confident france if ribery wouldnt have been out it would have been a different story altogether... and what the hell is luca toni doing ?? he is missing everything he tries plus he is a lone striker up front and missing hosts of chances, i dont like donadoni's style of play..he should bring more attack to his play and not leave everything for misfiring toni alone, anyways...
Lets see what happens...

Turkey that should be out of the tournament two weeks ago (when they beat Switzerland in the last minute) qualified for the semi finals because of that stupid referee who held more injury time than he should during the second half of extra time.
Its not that i dont like Turkey as a country but their football is tottally boring and i would love to see a rematch between Germany and Croatia.I felt pity for Bilic who is a great guy/coach.I doubt any Croatian on this planet has yet realised how they lost this match.
Not a good overall match but those last 5 minutes of the second half of extra time worth watching them again and again and again.Strange sport football heh.
Toodaloo Motherfuckers!!!!! |
