I feel like that's kinda low. Aren't the number of goals scored by the highest scorers in the WC much higher?

I think he means in tournaments. But he forgot about Klose. Klose scored his third goal in an EC against Greece and has already 11 goals in WCs.
The World Cup has the round of 16, which means another game to score in - if you make it out of the group stage. Futhermore, the competition early on is usually a mixed bag of big and small teams in comparison to the EURO.

I think your stats are a bit off. There are 6 players who scored 6 goals in Euro and of them only Nuno Gomes had more apperences on the pitch to achieve this. So technically Ronaldo is on position 7 of the all time list.
Also Huntelaar scored 12 goals in quali and Klose also has 9.

And the Euros used to have even less teams in the past, 4 untill 1976 and 8 until 1992.
I remember this goddamn match as clear as day. Such bad officiating from the ref Byron Moreno. fuckin cunt. Korea should've been eliminated by italy. I was sad to see the azurri lose in such controversial fashion.

Interesting. I took the stats off the BBC sport website so assumed they'd be correct. I guess not!

That's some God of War shit.
Oh shit, I wasn't aware of that. Well, considering the Euro will be expanded to 24 teams all these records will be destroyed in the future.
And there are 50 European countries (according to Wiki).
Why bother even having qualifiers. Just draw straws.

Nah, just a bit under 4 weeks after the euro's final. In the meantime there's er... wimbledon and the tour de france? *cough*
they don't have an official team.
They should make a team with the Swiss Guards.

Englands next game is actually against italy in a friendly on august 15tth lol
Too bad he "didn't play well" or whatever that one poster wrote after the game...
It's just all in good fun.
Let's not act like the Spaniards are not doing the same.
amazing.
Just watched this in the mean time. Great documentary on Ronaldo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXYdXLlrigs&feature=plcp

Whereas claiming the officials were bribed to allow one of the two host nations to progress 'quite' far in the world cup is a perfectly rational explanation to what happened?
Virtually the whole football world agrees Spain and Italy got the shaft so you saying shit like Totti dove just makes your view point laughable.
EDIT: You also forget that the official in the Italy game actually was caught for fixing matches more than once after and is in jail for drug trafficking so someone claiming the ref was bribed is actually a possibility.
Forget about S. Korea WC performance, bribes, etc. That's not the point here.
Watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddUKHMLAckE
Don't you think that's blatantly horrible refereeing? If no, you either don't understand football or blind.
If you agree that that's terrible officiating then don't you think such practice can potentially cause your team to lose a match? We're talking about legitimate goals not given, hilarious offside calls, reckless and judo challenges not being called as fouls, let alone being carded.
Give me a whistle and gather your friends for a footy game. By using my whistle unjustly, I can make it impossible for your side to win. That's exactly what that heroin smuggler did back in 2002. Who cares if the refs had been bribed or not, the point here is that Italy and Spain were robbed due to very unfair refereeing and those two games don't belong to football.
I'm not singling you out as I don't know anything about your post history, but it's funny how this is unanimous amongst Italy fans, when many of them told US supporters "lol thats just football suck it up" when we were whining about the horrible refereeing against the US in WC 2010.
I'm from Germany, so I wouldn't normally feel the need to jump to Italy's help.
Especially right now, before tomorrow's game.
That being said, Italy vs. South Korea in 2002 is by far the worst officiated match I have ever seen. It was a disgrace.
One of the best things about the Euro is having only referees with Champions League experience around. Yes, they still make mistakes, but it's infinitely better than putting completely overchallenged refs from every obscure corner of the world in charge of important matches.

Apparently van Marwijk himself leaked the list of players no longer to be called up to the Dutch nation team to the press. :lol

neat. do you have a link?
also, I got tickets for spiderman tonight, without thinking about football schedules.
now I'm screwed either way. out 20 bucks if I stay and watch the match, but then spain will probably screw me with a clinical borefest and a 1-0 victory.....
Just record the game and watch it when you get home. Avoid gaf in the mean time - Kabouter's titles will give it away.
and that's why i looked at the calender before i was about to buy the tickets
I think South America has the best referees to be honest.
and the whole spray thing for FKs is genius, I don't know why UEFA hasn't copy that yet.
So should I be for Spain or Portugal? I'm hoping for Germany to win anyways, so I don't really care about this game.. Hmm, Spain losing and Ronaldo and Pepe playing like shit (heck, getting sent off) would be the best case scenario. And Busquets too, fuck him. I want another game with 16 yellows and 4 reds haha
We appreciate the love. Netherlands is my favorite team ever since Overmars kicked ass in Sensible Soccer, I'd be supporting it had you guys beaten us in the group phase.

He looks like their "bachelor" uncle.

Appearantly they are. I read an interview with Reus where he said as much. Schürrle even visited Reus in Gladbach to hang out.
Asked who else Reus would want Dortmund to buy he said "toni". It seems Kroos is friendly with them as well.
There's no going Dutch with our youngsters.
