Euro 2008 coming closer

[Pladio]

Portugal and Croatia are through in A and B...
I'd say Italy 1-0 Romania
And Netherlands 0-1 France...
But I thought France would beat Romania and Italy would beat the Netherlands so

 

[titus]

I hope you are right about Italy Romania or even more points for italy.
Netherlands -France: let the netherlands win, than France is closer to a drop out and it is better for Italy if Italy wins agains Romania

 

[Gorath]

What a bad game by Germany. Now it´s all or nothing against Austria.
But maybe it was good they´ve lost now. Reminds them to bring their A-game.

 

[Pladio]

Netherlands seem to be really good this year ...
And all my predictions are shitty

 

[GothicGothicness]

Italy were so lucky that Mutu made such a bad penalty, or they would have been out.

 

[titus]

OW lucky? what about the goal they got cancelled? That was defenitely NOT offside. Italy has actually won. Besides that wasn't lucky, you forget:Buffon is one of the best keepers in the world for a reason

Nethertlands is being a great team. Lets hope that Italy wins France and Netherlands win Romania. Then Netherlands and Italy will proceed
It occured to me that Barthez isn't keeping anymore for France. He was great too.

 

[Pladio]

Netherlands is already through, so as long as Romania doesn't win and France does, then the French go through...

 

[titus]

yes but if France looses against Italy it is Italy who will go through.
If Romania wins it goes through, if it plays equals everything is possible.
Don't know who plays first though: italy -France or Netherlands Romania

 

[GothicGothicness]

Blehhhhhh Stupid Last Minute!

They play at the same time to avoid "consiparacies", I'm not of those people who support conspiracy theories, but I think logic here is for Holland is to give Romania the match so they avoid Italy or France in the Semi's, I hope that doesn't happen.

Second round:
Portugal--Germany
Croatia--Czeck
Holland---Sweden
Spain----Italy

 

[Zaleukos]

I doubt the Dutch will do that. Spain should be able to handle whoever finishes second in group C.

Sweden has so far really gotten the games where we've wanted tactically, but it is pretty clear that we also need a lot of luck to beat a top tier team. The Dutch will steamroll us if we manage to reach the quarter finals.

 

[titus]

I haven't seen all matches but I have to admit, from the one I saw the Netherlands deserve it the most to become the European champion. They play amazingly.

 

[Pladio]

The coach of the Netherlands is a friend of the coach of Italy, so let the conspiracy theories coming

I think the Netherlands will win though and Italy and France will draw...

 

[Toaster]

I both hope and think Sweden will beat Russia tonight, but Holland in the quarter-finals is beyond scary.

 

[titus]

Don't forget Italy too now

 

[Ionstormsucks]

Portugal = Pwned

 

[Gorath]

Intense game. Both teams were good, Germany was more efficient.

 

[HiddenX]

Germany - Turkey 3:2

exciting game, no team gave up 'til the end.

I hope we meet Russia in the last game. Germany have to improve to win the final.

 

[Pladio]

Turkish keeper made a bad mistake, would have been 2-2 by full time ..

 

[POLYGON]

Well the German keeper made 2 bad mistakes
