That game was almost a farce. The rain in the first half made Turkey's passing game pretty much null and void, even though the Swiss goal made me laugh.
there was a picture here
Croatia are the new Czech Republic.
Austria seem utterly incapable of scoring - how many gilt-edged chances do they need?!
"Excuse me Miss, do you like pineapple?"
Well they have squares on their shirts and sovereignty is invested in the people rather than a monarch so...
Great game, anyway.
"The most important and recognize player in the history of the country."
Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I were as great as Paulo Wanchope.
I know I said I wanted Greece to win the Euros overall, but the Greece vs Sweden game was more boring than a Middlesbrough vs Bolton game.
Most entertaining game for me so far would have to be Spain vs Russia. David Villa is impressive, and also very easy on the eye.
Germany were awful, im embarrased and disappointed.....
They weren't awful, but they were disappointing, especially the defence. They'll just have to do what Croatia did after their first game and improve for the next one and the possible quarter-final that follows. Germany (or Italy) are not automatically rubbish yet because they lost just as much as Holland and Spain aren't suddenly nailed on dead certainties to win it.
And if you're embarrassed now, imagine how I felt being Greek Cypriot after that Greece game!
Back to the group of death tomorrow
"Excuse me Miss, do you like pineapple?"
I have to admit that I am spoilt in this sense because I have watched every germany match in the qualifiers and they have been peforming absolutely great, so when I saw the match today, I was speechless.
Again I would say - same with Greece to some extent, they were impressive in qualifying for the most part too. Now they're getting booed by everyone for being duller than Bolton Wanderers.
I'm going to stick my neck out and tip France to bounce back today against the Netherlands. And Italy to eke out a narrow win against Romania.
"Excuse me Miss, do you like pineapple?"
My predictions stink! I must have been mad when I predicted France to win this tournament...
Fantastic save by Buffon today to keep Italy in it. Though I notice that assuming the Netherlands beat France here, they could theoretically let Romania win in their final game, making the France v Italy game immaterial and knocking both those teams out XD
I also find it funny that if the Czech Republic and Turkey draw their final match against each other, they'll have to have a penalty shootout to see who makes it to the quarter-finals!

Bloody hell, the Dutch are beasts. Absolute beasts. Their attacking players are all just so impressive. Oh if only Ryan Babel wasn't injured, I'd love to see what he'd do in this side.
Romania can take a hell of a lot of punishment and still be left standing. Dutch second team for the final game, and Romania to sneak a win and dump Italy and France out...? I sure hope so
I want Italy to go through, but will be fun to see this final set of games. Do the Dutch have a monopoly on spectacular goals or something?!
"Excuse me Miss, do you like pineapple?"
Loving the Dutch. Easily the most exciting team in this tournament. They've beaten both World Cup finalists and by a comfortable margin too. We'll see how the Spanish compare tomorrow, but they might just be favourites after today's showing.

As daft as it may be to suggest this (and considering I've been hopelessly wrong with everything else to far) I don't think the Netherlands will win it still, despite these two games. I'm just not sure such a spectacular start can be maintained. But they certainly look good for at the very least the semis right now.
