[QUOTE="Which Tyler, post: 1179533, member: 73592"] Why? For this year, I'd agree that the standard isn't high. Italy can be best pleased of anyone, and if England can repeat against France, then they can also be pleased - but not really anyone else, regardless of last-day results. But that's about performance, not because of results. It's perfectly possible to have a fantastic tournament with 6 high quality teams and all matches going to the wire - in which case, the winning team is likely to only have 3 wins, which would show a brilliant reflection on the tournament standards as a whole. ETA: Not accusing you here, but it's edging towards: There have been a fair few comments in recent weeks that essentially boil down to "Italy are better than I thought they were, causing close games that I'm not used to, therefore the entire tournament is boring and flawed, because results are unpredictable" [/QUOTE]
