With the Italy/Denmark draw, Sweden are looking pretty handy now - especially with their huge GD now.
 
When they played the German national anthem I thought 'hey how come their playing the ending theme to a Formula 1 race?' seriously.

Wow, Holland are still not performing well. It took some old style 'hoof it up to the striker tactics to actually threaten the German defence, which looked a solid. Ruud's goal was a feat though.
 
Famine's success rate after first set of matches:

Portugal 4-1 Greece - D'oh!
Spain 4-0 Russia - 1-0 to the Spaniards. Right result, wrong score.

England 4-1 France - D'oh!
Switzerland 1-0 Croatia - I was right that it was dull...

Sweden 2-0 Bulgaria - Right result. FIVE nil though!
Italy 1-1 Denmark - Right result.

Czech Republic 2-1 Latvia - Spot on. I rule.
Germany 1-4 Holland - Hmm.

4 matches correctly predicted, one exact score. 50%. Not bad. Not good... :D
 
Latvia played with a lot of balls.

Those players will earn a fraction of what most of the Czech team earns and will probably spend their days as postmen or milkmen. I noticed that there was hardly any appealing from the Latvians when at least two free kicks should have been given outside the Czech box. In fact, the only arguing with the referee from the Latvian side was from Marian Pahars...but that's what playing in the Premiership does to you.

The mighty Mista Idiot rates Newcastle higher than Southampton? :eek:

THat could mean anything though. If you go by the Sun (which you wouldn't but I get bored on my paper round in the mornings :rolleyes: ) Newcastle should already have Kluivert, Luis Enrique, Ronaldo and Kleberson...

Newcastle finished 5th, Southampton finished.........somewhere.

Also, the sun is such a base paper it can be easily read by a seven year old.
 
Word.

Portugals performance this time round was very un-sausage like, although Russia were missing key players and the keeper didn't help by handling the ball outside of the box.

Roll on tommow, thank god i'm on the early shift i'll just leave work a little earlier to watch the game.

I'll not bother leaving early. I only need to see the last 2 minutes....
