You're right, i didn't noticed him being there at first only yesterday when looking for some replays.


So Austria is still in the books huh.. nice game from Poland they would have deserved the win, that penalty kick came very easy. Most likely this game left the two teams with theoretical chances of advancing. Croatia is already qualified and Germany needs the win if they don't want to depend on the other game.

As for today's game, we're ready!!!

Austria must win to get through, i dont know if they can do it but.
Schweinstiger is a massive loss for Germany's next match as well.
Robben passed fit to play aganst France, Robben vs Ribery would be awesome to watch it the coaches do the right thing and play them on eachother.
Gotta get up at 1am for the Italy vs Romania game, have money on it and Luca Toni and Buffon r in my fantasy side and then Holland vs France!!! AWESOME WEEKEND OF SPORT COMING UP.

Wake up man. We are MUCH better than you. The english national team is one of the most overrated teams in all of sports. It's only logical that they're not in Euro 2008.

Cheat? Please. That's ridiculous.

That's the fire of pure soccer fans!!
England is very talented and it's a shame that they did not make it to the Euro Cup. England is the founder of the sport and will always have respect in my books.

Portugal and Spain were my choices before the tourney started and I am sticking with them. Holland is playing magnificent futbol. Italy is still alive, Germany has 2 great strikers in Lucas and Khlose, France a big dissapointment thus far. Great Cup!!


My team Colombia will be playing a world cup qualifier this weekend!!If Colombia qualifies for the world cup, I am going to south africa!!

Portugal r going to top the group, they r 2 from 2 and turkey and czechs have lost a game so the next result won matter unless Portugal get pumped but that wont happen.

Yep, we've got 1st seed no matter what happens on Sunday.
But I'm not sure if that's a good thing, since we'll probably meet Germany in the quarter-finals.
 
Man, wasn't Holland vs France one of the greatest matches in recent memory?
Wonderful display of attacking football. Unbelievable.
Holland has me convinced now. Damn. An absolute offensive machine, surely the best attacking team in the tournament.

Oh, and France sucks.
Well, they don't REALLY suck, (they actually played well, despite conceding 4 goals) but being Portuguese, France will always suck in my book.

Romania has actually a good chance, since they'll play against Holland's second-tier squad. That would be a great feat, leaving both World Cup finalists behind.

Daaamn, those were probably the best games so far. Italy-Romania 1-1 and we remain undefeated by the World Cup finalists! A 1-2 would have been too nice but the final result was probably fair judging by Italy's canceled goal (pretty much valid) and Buffon's parade i can't ask for more. All i want now is a 0-0 between Italy and France and a 1-0 loss to Holland :)

Just wanted to share with you the way we lived the game yesterday. Including every aspect of the game: the start, the pole, the goals, the penalty kick..

Yeah, but Germany has been playing like shit. Plus the coach is an idiot with his formation. Podolski playing winger and the fag Gomez up top. The dude missed two open goals yesterday.

As much as I am a Germany fan, I might have to bet on Portugal because they look like the clear favorite right now.

Yeah, I would say Portugal is the favourite, too. But maybe on a 45%-55% basis. Very close matchup. Portugal has great players in every position, except in two of the most important ones: goalkeeper and striker. Both Ricardo and Nuno Gomes are worthless pieces of crap.

Germany has many nice midrange shooters, and that might be enough for the win, since our keeper sucks at those kind of situations.

Ricardo is a great penalty keeper :( bad memories lol.
Cant believe the way Italy hammered France today. Toni is struggling though, cant hit the target. France for such a strong team have struggled for a while now. Not sure what the issue is. Their midifield is as good as any country. Trezeguet should have been in the team, absolute gun.
Felt bad for Romania but, should have been in the next stage. Missed penalty against Italy and then lose to a weakened Holland outfit that still looked all class. Its def Hollands tournament to lose in my opinion.

Yeah. So far they've been phenomenal. Pretty much Holland, Portugal, and Spain have been head and shoulders above the field.
 
Been watching this with interest, unfortunately England didn't qualify which was embarrasing to say the least. So far Holland and Spain look to be the ones to watch, i know Spain has a historyof chocking and haven't won anything of note since 1964 but they have some real talent on this team, and they have possibly the best strike partnership in Villa and Torres.

Two things are for sure though, one I'm absolutely delighted that France got knocked out and two...... i can't wait for the quarter final between Portugal and Germany, that should be one hell of a game.

I tip Spain for the championship though........

So did i but i think Italy deserved more to qualify. They had tons of bad luck in the first two games but really stood up for themselves against France. I don't think they'll be able to take Spain out though
