Ohh - Same.

Holland looked very good and I think with that display they are main contenders. They will win the group I'm sure. I saw in the bookies yesterday that if you put a £10 bet on Holland to win - you get £120. I didn't think they would win but seeing the link up play for the 3rd goal, that was pretty special. The work Van Bronckhorst did and it was a brilliant pin-pointed pass to Kuyt and a good finish.

Still think Spain will win it. Holland vs Spain final

Aaaaah Gio, always be a blue nose. *reminisces*

Tournament is livening up now with Spain and Holland looking very very good after a dull first two days.

David Villa...love that man he is so good, better than Torres

Gio was very good for Rangers wasnt he.



hope Greece win tonight for big Sam.

I would like to retract that statment because Greece are playing very negative football.

That's how they won a tournement.................

Portugal and Germany looked good, that was until Holland and Spain played. Absolute genius football from both teams, just hope they don't fizzle out like they always seem to do at major tounements.

They laughed at me when I said Sweden...

We'll prove you wrong.

<<< swedish fan

You say Sweden - I laugh.........

Lets face it, Sweden played a team playing poor negative footy, I don't think they stand a chance, not with the likes of Holland, Spain, Portugal and Germany, let alone the other big teams like France and Italy.....

Sweden got no chance.

Ironically I am actually sitting in a Sweden top, but that's just coincidence.

i thought Ronaldo's goal was quite good tonight.

I dont really care who wins it now. Just hope the quality of football gets abit better.

Thought both games were very good entertainment in very different ways.

I watched Germany vs. Croatia today - not sure if it was a new game or not, cause we get them later than you do. Croatia was winning 1-0 when I stopped watching, but Germany seemed to be the one tearing up the field. They were in control most of the time when I watched, but they couldn't seem to get one in the net.


EDIT: Just saw the game results on ESPN and it was 2-1 with Croatia as the victors. I find that a little hard to believe.

I have to be up at 1 in the morning to watch France - Netherlands tomorrow! Still, it's the weekend and it should be an excellent match

Yep, finished 2-1 to Croatia, who fully deserved the win. Germany were really poor, played like they didn't really want it, which is highly unusual of a German side. Still, if you fancy Germany to pick themselves back up and go on and win the tournament now is the best time to back them - almost 6/1 on betfair now to win it. Still Spain for me, they will come good this time

Watched Poland vs. Austria after that but didn't see the results. Austria knew exactly how to get through Poland's defense! I personally saw three break-away's with a one-on-one with Poland's keeper, and Austria missed all three times! Nearly had three heart attacks there. Wanted Poland to win (simply because I'm mostly Polish, I know nothing of the team's stats!), but they were playing really rough. Not too proud of that.


EDIT: I'm not backing anyone, Niall. I don't watch it enough to know any team's stats or who I like best. I just like watching the games, when I can catch them on.

And you're right not to Katie, gambling is baddddddd! Just wish I had as reserved an attitude when it came to events like this

(Still, back Spain!)

Who the hell is Gomez!?????? Why is he playing!???

No wonder Podolski was furious; Gomez had no heart, no skill and he looked like a fat sunday leaguer. And don't even get me started on Ballack!

Bloody let downs the lot of ya!

Anyway....... I don't know who's gonna win it, I dare not say Holland or Spain cause they've done this so many times now it's unreal. (By this I mean playing some awsome football, but it never materialising into a trophy)

I would really like Holland to win it, then if they fail all support from me will go towards the Spanish. But I still feel either Germany, Italy/France (depending on who gets out of the group) will go on to win it.

Gomez...thats the most german name I've heard for a while.

He lacked evrything. Heart, Desire, Speed, Touch he looked like he needed a poo the way he was running.

End Rant...sweden
