No European Champions Porto either. I'd love to know what scoring system they're using here. I think Skeletor might be on to something seeing as Utd have at least one American player too.

Celtic are #4 on some other list. They pissed their own league twice and got wins in the champions league as well as UEFA cup runners up and quater finalists. #4 seems high but 17 isn't considering.

Oh yeah, I nearly forgot...

I could easily name 25 teams who have done more than Celtic in the last year. Holland for example...

I'm going for Holland still. Doubtless after the semis I'll be forced to change my mind again, but still...

Meantime, the Czech/Denmark game is pretty dull, so I'll ask everyone their opinion on the BBC's greatest ever European Championship goal competition. Your contenders are...

Antonin Panenka (vs West Germany, 1976)
Ronnie Whelan (vs U.S.S.R. 1988)
Marco Van Basten (vs U.S.S.R. 1988)
Thomas Brolin (vs England 1992
Paul Gascoinge (vs Scotland 1996)
Davor Suker (vs Denmark 1996)

You can pretty much rule out the first one since it was only a penalty, and Whelans goal was good but no better than a lot of other volleys you may have seen before. It's really down to the last four (and I'm not entirely sure whether to count Sukers as a serious contender). Personally I think they'll go for Van Basten or Gascoigne, which is fair enough as both are very deserving, but I'd pick Brolins goal myself - nice one touch movement from the whole team, quick one-two on the edge of the area and a perfectly hit half volley from 18 yeards into the top corner.

By the way, the Czechs have just scored a pretty anticlimatic goal.

Great second goal, they're still my favourites to win it.

Would have gone for van Basten's out of the greatest goals.

Van Basten without a doubt. Still to this day I don't think I've seen a better executed finish.

I'd vote for Davor Suker's goal as best ever. Just fucking brilliant.

I'd go for the Suker goal.
I am Croatian, so call me biased but that goal was pure class against arguably the best goalkeeper ever, Peter Schmiechal.
Van Bastens was also top class as well.

Any proper rankings should have some weighting for the more recent years. Besides, that doesn't explain the glaring lack of clubs like Porto and Cruzerio, but the inclusion of Liverpool and Hertha, and the low placement of Valencia and Boca. Bayer Leverkusen might have a champions league final in recent years to their name which could explain their being on the list, but several other teams should be above them like, gee I don't know, the team who actually won that final (Real). And I can bear United being on that list, but 2nd? Hell no.

It's hard to say that, they are pretty equal, River Plate are winning the league at present, Boca knocked them out of the Copa Libertadores on penalties, and although they won the first leg 1-0, River Plate had a man less. River Plate won the return leg, and it shows they must be pretty equal for the match to go to penalties.

Boca have won the Copa Libertadores (South American Champions League) three out of the last four years, and are in the final this year and are huge favourites to win it, they won the second league last year and are battling with River Plate to win the first lague this year, they should definitley be higher.

Yeah, Holland haven't impressed at all whereas Portugal are looking good.

Meanwhile, Van Basten won the all time goal contest, no complaints here. As for goal of the tournament, if Tomasson doesn't win, there's something wrong.
