Why wasnt Ribery playing for France? Isnt he still a boss?
His body creates one of the bigger "what if?" stories in post 2010 soccer. Think of McGrady+Yao

Not sure if serious. If there was ever more undeserving champion it was in 2004 when Greece won. Portugal had so much luck this all tourney that it is just crazy. Squeezed out of group by not winning a game thanks to new tiebraker rules( should be Turkey going through). Then won in 1/8 final vs Croatia in last minute of overtime on their first shot on target in 120 min while being thoroughly outplayed, then lucky penalty win vs Poland despite being outplayed most of the game. They deserved a win vs Wales I will not argue about that. And in finals... well goal was a result of incorect handling violation called on France, when in fact it was Eder who touched that ball with his hand. France obviously screwed up way to many chances to put them away before that...
Anyway, they won, good for them... but it was lucky and ugly as hell.
