    Oh good.
    I was thinking that was a bit balls.

    Do they not do playoffs at all any more?

    The World Cup has one (Germany won it in 2010). The Euro's havent done it in like 30 years.

    I heard the 3rd place playoff could be making a return in 2016 when the competition expands to 24 teams.

    It'd make sense. And make more money for UEFA.

    So, ahead of tomorrow's Euro 2012 final between Spain and Italy, Platini floated an option straight out of left field.
    "We could have one country with 12 different host cities or we could have it in 12 or 13 cities all over Europe. It could even be 24 or 32 nations.

    Some mad plan for Euro 2020.

    There was never a 3rd place play off! Until 1996 there was only 8 teams in the tournament!

    However, as said above, there prob will be one when it expands to 24 teams which is just plain wrong imo!

    They had 3rd place play offs from the beginning of the tournament until 1980. Not sure why they stopped then (especially as at the beginning there were only four teams competing in the championships.

    It kinda made sense to have a 3rd place play-off when there only 4 teams. Otherwise it was a long way to travel for just one game.

    So, who are you rooting for tonight?

    I kind of want Italy to win, being the underdogs and all.

    I suppose, never thought of it like that.

    Ah jaysus I missed it, what did they do?

    Hope Italy do it but really hope we have a game as good as their earlier encounter. Think it might be nervy cagey affair tho. I think it may go to penos

    Can't see anything but a cagey 1-0 win, but for who I'm not sure.
