^ I hope for you too, but seeing as how Romania played just like they did in their qualification games, taking absolutely no risks and almost constantly having at least 9 players in the penalty area, i don't have much hopes for anything better. I was pretty much appalled by the French, but they never were consistent at ECs or WCs. (2002, getting sent home after the group phase as defending champions comes to mind).
As a Van Basten hater i was hoping for a spectacular win of Italy, ah well, at least it was a nice game to watch.
