Denmark 1-6 Holland

Semi-Finals:
England 2-1 Sweden
France 2-3 Holland

Final:
Holland - England - Unpredictable match.

My tips for the tournament are Holland, but crunching the games like this, giving England against Holland throws up a tricky match to predict. England could go all Euro 96 and blitz them. Holland could go all Holland and blitz them. Holland might throw their famous late tournament benny - but the same goes for England. I can't even attempt to predict it... One of them will win it by a 2 goal margin or better.

Errr...

Umm...

Go on then, England to beat Holland... 3-1. I'm still putting money on Holland though.

England will beat France 4-1. Then an embarrassing 1-1 draw with Switzerland. Croatia will beat England 2-1.

With France beating Croatia 3-0 and Switerland 2-0, and the Switzerland/Croatia game ending at a dull 0-0, the group will look like this:

Group B:
France W2 D0 L1 +6 -4 (+2) 6pt
England W1 D1 L1 +6 -4 (+2) 4pt
Croatia W1 D1 L1 +2 -4 (-2) 4pt
Switerland W0 D2 L1 +1 -4 (-3) 2pt

......

Go on then, England to beat Holland... 3-1. I'm still putting money on Holland though.

Errrm. 1 slight problem there mate. If the results are as you predict, then Coratia will go through and not England.

In the result of a tie, then it's the result against the other team rather than goal difference to sort it out. As Croatia beat England, then Croatia go through.

 

[Famine]

Just checked into this... This is amazing.

"If teams finish level on points, then the winner of the match between the sides in question will finish highest, or should they have drawn, goal difference, followed by goals scored, qualifying record for the 2002 FIFA World Cup and UEFA EURO 2004™, a fair play ranking and finally either a penalty shoot-out or drawing of lots."

A WHAT?! A FIFA/UEFA Fair Play ranking? What bollocks is this?

 

[daan]

France have went 11 games without conceding a goal. You expect them to concede 4 in the one game?

 

[Venom77]

Is barthez still in france's squad??

 

[Race Idiot]

Uh, huh.

So we both have crappy keepers.

They still haven't made a descision on who's going to play instead of Terry. It's probably going to be Ledley King, I think.

 

[Famine]

France have went 11 games without conceding a goal. You expect them to concede 4 in the one game?

I don't expect it. It WILL happen...

Remember that they had the world's best striker in the squad (still is) in World Cup 2002, but went out of the tournament having scored NO goals at all.


And thank-******g-you Portugal. Pissed on my predictions.

 

[oosacker]

France Vs. England:

France > England.

 

[Dave A]

Thats the spirit Famine, we WILL beat France and I believe we can do it today.

 

[toler]

the final:

GREECE VS. LATVIA

portugal didn´t look to good there, did they?

 

[Race Idiot]

I hope Portugal get their act together, it would be a major case of 'sucks to be you' if they didn't even get past the group stages. Especially if they are the hosts of the tournament.

 

[made in holland]

Damn, i hate those ****ing french bastards.

Lucky SOB's. It really pisses me off that they win like that...that they win at all.


Sorry, frustration had to get out.

 

[daan]

I enjoyed the last 2 minutes of that one.

 

[Venom77]

Absolutely crap scousers ruin everything 2 goals in 2 minute's what the ****is all that about 👎 🤬 🤬 heskey and gerrard

 

[Cosmic]

Go France , go France!

J/K
Lucky bastards

 

[eddieturner2002]

It wasn't Gerrard's fault overall. If Hargreaves went on for Lampard and Scholes stayed on but went Left Centre the midfield would have stayed a lot stronger. Damn Sven, we need a manager who can read the team ahead.

 

[toler]

what if becks had not missed that penalty.....

 

[Famine]

Heskey's not a Scouser - he's from Leicester.

But he is absolutely bobbins.

 

[daan]

what if becks had not missed that penalty.....

Becks didn't miss. Barthez saved it.

It was a bit harsh. 1-1 would've been a fairer result.

 

[eddieturner2002]

what if becks had not missed that penalty.....

That was just good keeping by old baldy in the French net.

 

[oosacker]

Zidane is god.

 

[Kelly]

I'm just ****in GUTTED!! Why do we always **** it up in the last minutes!!!! **** **** **** !

Barthez also done a good save with his face, which was quite funny at the time ****in froggie bastard I'm not laughing now

*removes Daan from buddy list*

You remind me of Rons dad


I'm just pissed off is all

Harsh words coming from a female 👍

 

[Kelly]

Harsh words coming from a female 👍

International football and results like that bring out the worst in me

 

[Cosmic]

If Beckham didn't missed the penalty it could been 2-2. But Barthez saved it! 15 secondes left and France got a penalty and 2-1 to France.

 

[toler]

your predictions for tomorrow?

1. Denmark : Italy

2. Sweden : Bulgaria

let´s hear it

 

[oosacker]

1.) 0-2
2.) 1-0

 

[donbenni]

I laughed so much when Barthez got whacked in the face. Minor consolation to a heart wretching match.
