Well tournament's are one-off so the weaker teams are fired up and play better. For example, look at the F.A. cup. Almost every year you get a 2nd division team going far and upseting a few premier league clubs when it would have made more sense for them to crash out in the first game. If you were to put this Euro batch in a 1 year long league I would expect the stronger teams to finish tops.
I think its a combination of nerves by the big boys, time to get settled in, and a "nothing to lose" attitude by the upshots. That's just my take anyways. Whatever, makes for dramatic football.  |
I would agree with you on this one, if those teams (italy england etc) would play some good and attractive football, and the smaller countries would then win on their nothing to lose mentality. but when have the spanish ever won a match?? when do you see italy or england play attractive football? they never do. it is this I don't understand
