But this year it's been pretty quiet. Is it because us English are embarrassed? Decided to have a rest this year. Tonight the Netherlands had a storming game. So that's one up for Piltdown Boy, one down to Ugo!   -------------- The answer is 42 - but what is the question? Back to top

Harmono Group: Members Posts: 759 Joined: May 2005 Posted: June 10 2008, 06:01 Yep, Holland was very convincing yesterday. I haven't had a tv for six months now and it's been great! But I almost bought one just so that I could see these games. Luckily it turned out they can be watched live online this time. I usually support the underdogs, just to make it more exciting. I think this time Turkey, Switzerland, Greece and Sweden. Sweden - Greece is on tonight, who to support?!! Well, it'll be great anyway.   Back to top

Also well done Holland, a fantastic win over the world champ's, an outstanding game by the men in Orange. Croatia I thought were a touch lucky, Germany simply too good for Poland. Czech rep, solid game good win. Portugal tough game this one, but again a good win. France Romania, no comment. -------------- I, ON THE OTHER HAND. AM A VICTIM OF YOUR CARNIVOUROUS LUNAR ACTIVITY.

olracUK Group: Members Posts: 1683 Joined: June 2003 Posted: June 11 2008, 08:58 I wonder who Mike will be supporting - assuming he watches the footie? Spain this time? Some great games so far, very few tubular balls though. -------------- The answer is 42 - but what is the question? Back to top

The Big BellEnd Group: Members Posts: 971 Joined: Jan. 2004 Posted: June 11 2008, 17:41 Swede as a nut, well done sweden. Portugal, looking good. Oh dear, Swiss rolled by Turkish delight, go Turkey. -------------- I, ON THE OTHER HAND. AM A VICTIM OF YOUR CARNIVOUROUS LUNAR ACTIVITY. Back to top

olracUK Group: Members Posts: 1683 Joined: June 2003 Posted: June 13 2008, 11:36 Do we have any Croatian members here? Might be a good time to have gloat at the expense of our German friends.

theweightless Group: Members Posts: 604 Joined: April 2001 Posted: June 13 2008, 14:18 nice surprise by croatians, and what a game today romania-italy   very entertaining -------------- ASMK Back to top

The Big BellEnd Group: Members Posts: 971 Joined: Jan. 2004 Posted: June 13 2008, 14:18 Croatia and Portugal looking real good, Italy and Romania I'm not sure, good  game though and a fair enough draw Holland v France, best game yet. France totally beshmozzled by the dazzling Dutch. -------------- I, ON THE OTHER HAND. AM A VICTIM OF YOUR CARNIVOUROUS LUNAR ACTIVITY. Back to top

Harmono Group: Members Posts: 759 Joined: May 2005 Posted: June 13 2008, 17:48 The Dutch reign, who could beat them? If only they didn't make so many goals. Two goals for Holland and I'd be rich, four is too much. Back to top

The Big BellEnd Group: Members Posts: 971 Joined: Jan. 2004 Posted: June 14 2008, 16:42 Spain reign again, a sluggfest against the swedes but a win. A Greek tragedy, Russia too slippery for Greece. Good win. -------------- I, ON THE OTHER HAND. AM A VICTIM OF YOUR CARNIVOUROUS LUNAR ACTIVITY. Back to top

Dirk Star Group: Members Posts: 1331 Joined: Sep. 2007 Posted: June 14 2008, 17:38 Greek tragedy is right.I had to work last night and missed what sounded like the best game so far between Holland & France.Where as tonight of course...   Surely it`s no accident that the best action from the tournament so far i.e. Holland/France & Holland/Italy has took place at the  Wankdorf Stadium.   Seriously though credit to the Dutch for two outstanding performances.Having said that I thought 3-0 flattered them a little against Italy,who also played well.Holland are looking good no question.I just think some of these pundits need to reign it in a little bit.Counter attacking football is`nt quite the same thing as total football is it?Anyway I tipped Portugal at the start of the competiton who have started pretty well also.Once the group stages are out the way though anything can happen really. For those people who are maybe absolutely fed up with football there`s always this or this. Back to top

The Big BellEnd Group: Members Posts: 971 Joined: Jan. 2004 Posted: June 15 2008, 16:52 Turk's bounce czech's. Incredible action in a second half that will boast the come back of the year, Turkey overcome the Czech 2 goal lead to score three in a row to win a blockbuster of a game. Breathtaking game, blistering skill from the turk's. Loved it. -------------- I, ON THE OTHER HAND. AM A VICTIM OF YOUR CARNIVOUROUS LUNAR ACTIVITY. Back to top

Dirk Star Group: Members Posts: 1331 Joined: Sep. 2007 Posted: June 15 2008, 17:11 Fantastic excitemnet at the end there.Pleased I stayed in to watch that tonight,what a game.Turkish mate of mine at work is really going to be full of himself tomorrow night.My next door neighbour had put money on the Czechs and I could hear him cheering as the goals went in earlier.It`s all gone very quiet now though.
