    Beeing in the semi, i thought Sweden would put up better recistance
    than they did. When you play a such good German team, everyone must
    play at his top, unfortunatelly not everyone did.
    
    Germany won because they where the better team, no question about that.
    When the two German forward went so long back to fetch the balls, the
    Swedish midfield was running themselves blue in the face. Germanys
    passing game was outstanding, and they moved around very good. Sweden
    looked a bit tence, and their third pass had a wrong address almost all
    the time. I can't help feeling dissapointed. The second and third
    German goal looked like give-aways, especially the third. My
    congratulations to Germany for a well deserved place in the final.
    
    I also must thank the Swedish team for making this tournament so
    special. We have shown that we are a top nation i Europe, and that
    this is a team to build the future on. This year we have a semi in
    EURO-92, a final in the U-21 competition and a place in Barcelona. This
    looks promising for the WC qualification.
    
    Thank you, Sweden!!!

	Did anyone catch Jackie Charlton little comment just before kick-off

		"They wont give a toss...."!!!

 I am not sure as to whom he was reffering..I switched off by then, he's a 
 boring sod..!!

	Also I in the CIS v Holland game he couldn't say CIS and kept juggling
 the letters round CSI or even ICS. What a plonker...!!

	What team does he manage..???

    Jack Charlton has been embarrassing all the way through this
    tournement with his senile comments, one of his classics was during
    one of the Holland games he had Van-Breklen(sp) at right back, also
    at the beginning of the competition he kept calling it the World Cup. 
    
    This senile old fool got paid to sit there and get everyone's name
    wrong maybe he should team up with Jimmy Hill, what a couple of
    ANALyst's they turned out to be........

    He's not as bad as Ron Atkinson who called Brehme "Bremner" all the
    way through the Germany/Sweden game.
    
    But agreed... Charlton seems to have lost his marbles,I don't
    remember him being as bad as this before.

    Jack Charlton has always been very bad at names, so I don't blame senility.
    Whilst he was at Newcastle, he could only remember about 3 players
    names and called the rest Peter.
