  3. Given the two first editions I don't think you regret it after the matches have taken place.

  6. According to data crunchers Gracenote the Dutch have a 68% chance to reach the final and a 45% chance to win it.
    In their world power ranking we're 4th, behind Argentina, Brasil and France.

    Mmm, not so sure about that, tbh.

    Croatia through to the final. Honestly, I wouldn't begrudge them a first ever major title, I think they deserve it, especially Modric....

  8. In the end they were the better team and deserved the win.
    Tomorrow two other teams are going to make a claim to deserving that title too.
    It was refreshing to be spared the antics we've been showered with by the players in the EL and Conference League finals.

    I can't wait for the finals. Shame I had to cancel my trip to Netherlands.

    We never lost to Italy and it is about damn time to beat Spain at big competition finals.

    I get the enthusiasm but you make it sound like Spain have totally dominated the series.
    Euro 2012 group stage : Croatia 0–1 Spain
    Euro 2016 Round of 16 : Croatia 2–1 Spain
    Euro 2020 Round of 16 : Croatia 3–5 a.e.t. Spain

    I'm pretty sure the Euro 2016 game was group stage, and a pretty meaningless one as both had already progressed from the group being the last game of the group. Croatia haven't eliminated Spain yet. Honestly nothing against Spain or any other teams in this tournament but I'm rooting for Croatia all the way. Yugoslavia/Croatia in my opinion is one of the best footballing countries in the world bar Belgium never to have won a major title other than the Olympics, so it is time for them, and a fitting honour for Modric

    Oops, that sounds right. It felt like a knockout phase game to me. :D But yes, I believe Italy knocked out Spain in that tournament.

    And definitely agree with Yugoslavia/Croatia.

    Yes, that was my point, out of all big 5 we did not beat Spain when mattered at the end. There was 3-2 win in first NL edition but at the end we were relegated only to be saved because of expansion.

    This might be the competition of firsts - first win vs France (turning point after bad start), first elimination win vs Spain, first trophy.
