Croatia played great today against Germany. Croatia was better in pretty much everything today,while Germany was surprisingly weak.Maybe they were overconfident and had the wrong attitude to this game? I'm sure they bounce back and give Austria one helluva game.
It was nice to see Austria get that one point they needed,so they still got a chance to advance. The pressure is on Germany now

Holland just demolished France! Two games and seven goals,that's damn impressive! Holland just became the favorite to win this tournament ,while France could leave home after the next game. Italy - Romania game was a damn good one. Both teams had many scoring chances and the pace was good the whole game. Buffon cleared tournament ending penalty kick and since Italy and France both have one point,their game will probably be a damn good one Good games tonight

Twas an amazing game, just a pity i wasn't neutral and was on the recieving end of it. I suppose it balances out the amazing 3-2 comeback win over Holland in 04. It also avoids the confrontation between the Czechs and Croats that would have been set up, and means i won't be torn between them. Now i can safely get 100% behind Croatia for the tournament! Fuck off Turkey you jammy jammy bastards! Don't you dare do a Greece.
Plus there should have been at least another 3 minutes at the end there, the keeper took forever to go off, then the ref wandered over to the bench to book Baros for some reason. I really wanted a penalty shootout with that rat faced wee tramp Tuncay in goal for Turkey. Dicks.

So, I was going to put a tenner on the Netherlands to win the competition, but changed my mind and put my money on France.
Netherlands 4 - 1 France
That figures.
Hoping for an Austrian win tonight so I can rip the piss out of the Germans in my department. And also in honour of Austria's favourite son, Herr Schwarzenegger.

I was rooting for Austria today,but Germany was the better team as expected. I wasn't that impressed by Germany's effort today and they have to improve a lot,if they gonna win against Portugal. I hope that Romania wins tomorrow, imagine the shit storm in France and Italy,if that happens

So,France is out! They played like shit in all three games and it's good riddance to the shittiest French team in years. Not one win for fucks sake! Holland won again and they didn't even had to use their best players tonight. They have impressed the shit out of me in this tourney and if they aren't in the finals this year,I consider that a goddamn miracle. I predict Portugal and Holland, will play in the finals

Well, now that Croatia is out, I'm rooting for Russia. It's not that I'm a big fan, but they were always kinda cool to me, I don't know.
Plus, they really deserved to win that match against Netherlands. They were the better team, and it was a beautiful match. I hope they win the cup.
I'm also looking forward to Germany - Turkey. I wonder how long a team can run on luck?

Congrats to Spain, for winning the championship! They didn't lose a game on this tourney and even dominated Germany in the final, so truly the best team won this year. Lots of goals and lots of great games this year and boring as fuck Greece didn't won,so Euro 2008 was pretty damn good Until next time...
