Who will win?
Wrong. Lukas Podolski is the only one who was not born in Germany but Poland ;)

I think there's a conspiracy where Germany was buying players from other countries, giving them fake backgrounds to make them seem at least half German and gave them passports..but hey what do I know. It's apparant if you compare the German national team to national teams of other countries.

I wouldnt say cheated but they sure where lucky with the arbitrage.

Well, no. Totally within the average. And I've watched every game of the tournament so far.
France had a bit of bad luck first, getting a penalty against them vs. Romania, that was totally ridiculous. And again in the Round of 16 vs. Ireland, penalty in 2nd min. against them, again pretty laughable.
I'm normally not a fan of France and their football, but their progress surely hadn't anything to do with luck.

I wouldn't say we got lucky. Watching the matches I'd say we were unlucky as hell in most of them. Our finishing sucked all kinds of arse and the opposition scored in almost every chance they had.
Iceland, Austria: We were the better team, but awful finishing screwed us over.
Hungary: Again awful finishing. Also Hungary had some kind of aimbot, every single shot would get deflected and go in. Most frustrating game ever.
Croatia: The one game where the opponents dominated and we were lucky. By far the strongest team we faced, they deserved better. They needed a better manager though, despite being on the driver's seat for most of the match he seemed content to let the game go to penalties and that ended up being their downfall.
Poland: Even match. I wouldn't say we were lucky since it's not like the polish made any mistakes in the shootout, our keeper was just better.
Wales: Weren't allowed any real scoring chances apart from some Bale shots from outside the box. They missed Ramsey but that's hardly our fault. Plus we also couldn't use Pepe and William.

I'd say we were lucky to avoid all the favourites to win the tournament. Our side of the bracket was a joke compared to the other. But we were the better team in most of our matches, even if the full time scores failed to reflect that. People make it sound like we spent the whole tournament getting pummeled and stealing a goal here and there to make it through. I think we still have the most attempts on target in the tournament.

Argentina is one of the best teams in the world, it had Maradona, one of the greatest football players the wolrd have witnessed, yet they won the cup because Maradona cheated. Moral of the story, even if France played well, they had the referees on their side.

I already predicted the final on another thread only after the first game here: https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/oZa1M/euros#UPlUSqt
I guess I'll just continue to trust my guts and despite the odds of Portugal lifting the cup, I still believe that they can do it.

I've never seen a team deserve to be in a final less than Portugal. However footballs never been about who deserves things, its a results business.
I think France will win, but Portugal have played shit all the way to the final so I wouldn't put it past France to dominate and Portugal to win 1-0 or something. Its been a shit tournament, the new rules have ruined it, too many teams, no Holland, team in the final who hadn't won in 90 minutes until the semi final, violence from our fans and Russia.
Worse than all that, Ronaldo the fucking prick is going to think he's God if Portugal win.

Actually he respects and trusts all his teammates, independently of considering himself the best in the world. So no, he wouldn't pull a Messi.
Never really got all the hate, being overly enthusiastic and with an overachiever mentality shouldnt make him a bad person.

Well, I can't stand arrogant people, but compared to Messi, Ronaldo is a better person overall.
I don't "hate" them, though, I'd just like if they showed a bit of humility every now and then.
And Ibrahimovic is on a whole different level, he is just a mercenary playing for whoever pays him more.
Although my opinion of him is kinda biased, I'll just tell you that I'm a FC Juventus fan, that should explain my resentment...

Things i learned:
Portugal didnt deserve to pass the group stages, or the semi finals or the final
No team was able to beat Portugal
Something doesnt add up
I would say, they very much deserved to be there and to win. :)

So here it is, the final.
Since it´s very hot in my region, particular in my penthouse, and I wanna go out to have a BBQ with friends while watching the match, I keep it short.
What´s your opinion?
May the better one win
