There has been one constant this championship and that is the terrible form of the Real Madrid 'Galacticos'. We all know how Real Madrid's form collpased for the last couple of months of the season but I'm sure no one could envisage these players would take the same form to the Euros.
I think you really have to question Real Madrids training regime because from what I've heard their players were all out of condition.
We have all heard how Beckhams fitness is at its worst ever level, however the same can be said of Zidane. Tony Cacarino, who has alot of contacts in France, said on the radio that he was told that Zidanes fitness was also a masiive worry for France. Apparently Zidane was training alone trying to get to the same level as the rest of the squad. He also vomitted before he took the penalty against England.
Figo's fitness has also been questioned and as above his form for Portugal has been patchy, resulting in him being subbed several times.
We all know how piss poor Raul was for Spain.
The point I am making is that all of Real Madrids stars seemed to be the unfittest players in the tournament. How can a club as massive as Real Madrid allow this to happen. It seems really bizarre to me!
