Semi-Final Results

France 1-0 England

Goalscorers
(France)
Pires 8

1st Half
France came ut the far better team and nearly scored 6 minutes into the first half, Lizarazu took the ball down the left and swung in a dangerous ball which James came to collect but fumbled dreadfully, the ball flew in the air and Pires' header was goal bound but Campbell cleared off the line. England didn't learn from one mistake and they made another, well they didn't make a mistake, they where outclassed! Desailly sent a long ball forward which Henry headed down to Wiltord, his quick pass found Zidane who turned Campbell and threaded a great ball through to an unmarked Pires flying down the right hand side who hit it first time and sent the ball flying passed the helpless James for 1-0. England had one shot in the first half and that was from Owen who should of made it 1-1. He picked up the ball with his back to goal and turned Desailly on a sixpence, he was 1 on 1 with Barthez but the French keeper kept his composure and made a decent save sending the ball out for a corner. The England midfielders couldn't contain with the one of the greatest midfielders of all time...that man being Zidane. He ran the show from start to finish and everything about his game was pure genius. Beckham had a very controversial offside decision given against him which would have sent him 1 on 1 with Barthez, but it was just going to be one of those days for England. France where first to everything in the first half but after a dreadful start the England defenders began to do their job.
2nd Half
France where again the stronger side in the second half and created the most chances, which where mainly half chances in which was a dull second half. Henry very nearly doubled the lead on 82 minutes when he turned 3 England players on the edge of the box but james made a good save. England where awful to say the least or it could of been that France where too good for them, either way France thoroughly deserved the win and a place in the final.

Greece 0-1 Norway
Goalscorers
(Norway)
Solskjaer 39

1st Half
Greece started the game as they started every other game they played in the competition, very strongly and on 10 minutes Vryzas could've made it 1-0 to Greece but he failed to score from a 1 on 1 situation. The Greeks where playing a sublime game, closing the Norweigians down quickly and catching them on the counter attack, but Norways defence was too tough for the surprise package of the tournament. Iverson had a great shot saved after 31 minutes but that was all Norway had created up until that point in the game. But on 39 minutes a disastrous piece of defending gifted Norway the lead of which they didn't deserve. The Greece keeper rolled the ball out to Goumas whose first touch wasn't great and he was left with Solskjaer closing him down quickly, Goumas tried to clear it but his miss kick hit Carew and the rebound fell to Solskjaer who had the easy task of side footing it passed the keepr for 1-0.
2nd Half
Greece came out in the second half just as strong as they had started in the first. But the chances where very limited in the second period and it became a very scrappy game. As the game wore on the chances where flooding in for Greece, they looked very good coming forward from midfield but they lacked that little bit of creativity that may have got them an equaliser. It was a very frustrating game for Greece and a game they didn't deserve to lose. But they will go into the 3rd Place Playoff knowing that they have done alot better than the likes of Holland, Italy, Germany and Portugal.

3rd Place Playoff Result

England 1-0 Greece

Goalscorers
(England)
Beckham 49

1st & 2nd Half
This was a painful game to watch as it had absolutely nothing good about it, 3 moments stood out in the entire game. The first being Owens 1 on 1 miss. On 16 minutes Beckham played in a great long ball from the halfway line which landed behind the defence and in the path of Owen, he shouldv'e scored but for some reason he put it wide?!?!?!? The breakthrough came in 49th minute through when Beckham scored from the edge of the area. Heskey tried to dribble passed 2 Greece players but he was met with a good sliding tackle but unfortunately it fell righ in front of Beckham who on the edge of the box struck a lovely first time shot the flew in the bottom corner and out of reach of the keeper. Beckham hit the post on 54 minutes and that was the best 3 moments of the match. It was scrappy, boring and neither team looked interested what so ever. But well done England.

The Final

France 1-1 Norway (Norway win 6-5 on Pens).
Goalscorers
(Norway)
Solskjaer 24
(France)
Henry 35

1st Half
The final had finally arrived, one very deserving team (that being France) and then there was Norway, who had only just managed to make it to the final by beating the very impressive Greece team by a goal to nil. As the teams came out and the fireworks exploded (not really as it was just an exhibition match on the game. lol) you knew you where in for a treat.
France kicked off as the defending champions and the only team in the tournament not to concede a single goal (pretty impressive to say the least). France attacked very strongly against a fairly shaky Norway defence with Henry looking to do the most damage and he had a few good chances early on. As they had always done in this competition, France attacked aggressively down the left hand side with Wiltord & Lizarazu linking up very well and causing the Norwegians alot of trouble. The first 20 minutes where dominated by the French who did everything right but score. When Norway finally began to get in the game and get forward themselves, it was very worrying period for France and Carew nearly gave the challengers the lead after 20 minutes when he was sent through for a 1 on 1 wih Barthez, but as the he had done in all the games in the tournament; he made a great save.
The breakthrough came unexpectedly on the 24th minutes when Bergdolmo found himself in plenty of space on the left hand side, he sent in a dangerous ball which was headed down by Bakke to Carew whose sliding effort to knock the ball in failed, but the ball bounced to Solskjaer on the corner of the 6 yard box he hit a stunning volley, which had to be struck with great technique, into a tight gap between the post and Thuram with Barthez nowhere near it for 1-0. It was a great goal by Norway which caught the French by surprise.
After the goal Norway where always on top and started a little game of keep ball but a bad pass by the Norway midfield was intercepted by Vieira who passed it out wide to an unmarked Pires he then put in a fantastic through ball to Henry which the striker latched on to and toe ended it past the charginmg keeper to equalise after 35 minutes, 1-1.
France almost grabbed a second in injury time when Pires was left all on his own on the right side of the box and Zidane found him with a good pass, it looked like he was about to smash it in for 2-1 but the shot was blocked by an unbelievable tackle which saved Norway from going in at the break a goal down. An outstanding first half came to a close and i was hoping for more in the second.
2nd Half
The second half saw a good early start by Norway but they almost fell behind in the first 5 minutes after a great cross by Lizarazu was met by a volley from 6 yards out from Henry, only to be blocked by Henning Berg on the line. After that it was all France, but the chances on goal where few and far between. Zidane controlled the midfield and Wiltord and Lizarazu worked extremely hard on the left to try and get that second goal for France. Henry had a good shot saved on the 79th minutes but after that Norway dominated for the last 10 and Iverson should of ended the game in the last minutes when he burst into the box from an angle and sent a stunning shot high towards the goal but only to be denied by the crossbar. The second half came to an end with both teams level and the dreaded Goalden Goal was next.
1st Half of Extra Time
Both teams looked tired and nervous, France created a few chances but Norway where always at hand to defend well.
2nd Half of Extra Time
The best chance of the second half fell to Sorensen who was 1 on 1 with Barthez with the game in his hands, he slotted it passed Barthez but his shot went agonisingly wide. He fell to the ground with his head in his hands!
Penalties
So after a gruelling 120 minutes of football it came down to the dreaded penalty shootout.
