The Final Four

After watching all four of the quarterfinal games, I was consistently reminded why this is the greatest game on earth. Turkey, Russia, Spain, and Germany are left, and with only two wins to go, any of these teams could become the champions of Europe for the next 4 years. Random thoughts from the tournament so far the "group of death" has no teams in the semifinals........Turkey has had three straight come from behind victories, obviously they are scared to death of what Fatih Terim will do to them if they lose. ............ neither del piero nor luca toni took a pk yesterday; these were the top scorers in each of their leagues and both of them choked big time,........ does anyone else think the yellow card rule is ridiculous and should be re-reformatted where all cards are wiped clean after the group stage?........ Guus Hiddink is the best manager in the world right now end of story........................all future co-hosted tournaments should only get one guaranteed bid which will be hereby known as the Austria rule (sorry Poland and Ukraine)..............the Dutch and Portuguese will never be able to win a major tournament..............does anyone know the odds of Henrik Larsson coming out of international retirement for the 4th time for South Africa 2010?............ I am now officially pulling for a Russia-Turkey final
