Sadly I have to agree. They played better.....but that doesn't mean I have to like it .

Strangely enough we still have a small change, if the Germans beat Denmark, and we beat Portugal with big numbers.....but I don't see that happening.

You were terrible in the first half but improved in the second Chopper!! Still got a chance but it looking unlikely now...still you never know in football. Van Persie needs support up front from the start i reckon cos you need to get goals and plenty of them!


Klyd, Croatia were the team Ireland were hoping to beat cos they also have Spain and Italy in their group, but as discovered, Croatia area good side as well. We will see how Ireland go later today, fingers crossed for them

Ireland battered by the Spanish 4-0 and are the first team to exit the tournament, excellent set of fans though singing through out..

The Germans were not great, the Dutch team was just very bad, notably in the first half. The Germans even acted suprised they could score so easily. They did what had to be done. The Dutch team failed miserably. This seems to be their worst tournament in like ever. I can't remember the last time the Dutch didn't make it out of the group phase.

The Germans took their chances where has Holland had so many chances and failed to score until Van Persie hit on back late on.I surprised at how bad Holland are performing with the players they have.

i missed both games since had exams!

Spain looked ominously good again last night!! Italy up against it a bit as well because i fancy the Irish to go out with a bang for their great fans!!

England tonight!! Lets go

Supporting England first half, sweden second half :L

You will be wanting a draw then Short?

Oh....France have just gone 1-0 up!!!!

Ukraine hoping for the thunder to come back and get the game called off

2-0....Cabaye!!!!

What a player he is mind

yeh! and nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo I changed my mind yogi wanted sweden to do it, since they needed a win to try and stay in the euro! had my sweden shirt face paint on etc for nout!

Get in England 3-2 against Sweden, i was please with the fighting spirit to pull the game back but not say with the dodgy defending.. But at least we have won a game..

That goal by Welbeck was great. One of the reasons I love football.

Was a great goal, gets better each time you view it..

rub it in my face :L jokes

Russia out...didn't see that one coming! Advocaat is feeling like shit tonight.

Greece need some good news for once though!

Russia out??? Ha ha

Well done Greece

Who would have thought it would be the Czechs going through instead of Russia after the Russians thrashed the Czechs 4-1 in the first game..

Indeed mate. Strange old game, football

The Russian game surprised me, thought I had the Czechs beating Poland. Greece plays ugly, but they play it consistently. France looks strong to me, I think they will continue to get better, plus they are looking for some redemption after that cluster in South Africa a few years ago. France and Germany have looked the best to me, then you have some teams like Italy and Spain not far behind them.

Germany roll on and look ominous and Portugal with Mr. Ronaldo are also starting to get up a head of steam!!

Chopper, i am sorry mate but your boys have had a poor tournament. A proud nation of football lovers will be hurting today but i am sure you will bounce back in the next World Cup!!

Like the surprising passing of the Czechs and Greeks. Am sorry for the Netherlands; they will leave poland with astonishing zero points.
Today is Group C-day.

Croatia vs Spain
Ireland vs Italy

Your guesses?

I think both games will be a draw leaving Spain and Croatia to go through and the Italians out!!!!

Croatia and Italy

I've got to go with the Irish! Though elininated, they 'll play with the passion of, well, Irismen! Oh, and Spainwill squeak by.

Na Italy Will win I tihnk cause they need to win to qualify

well i was half right :L

Me as well
