Heartland

Any one any predictions/interest?!

As my home, I'll be hoping for a historic & un-lightly Irish win! Slightly more realistically I go with Germany but would also like to see Poland doing well too (currently 1-0 up!)...

But ultimately it's a sexy summer of football (with Engerland presumably going out inevitably on penalties....)

Russia looked pretty tasty in the run up, but tonight's game will be really tough for them.


England won't even make it to penalties though.

Entertaining first match. The lesson for Greece though is never celebrate the awarding of penalties. They never go in when you do.

not a bad second game, either.

Got a little sweepstake going at work. I pulled out Portugal and Germany.

Winner gets £40.00 and I recken I could be onto a winner with Germany.

I feel sorry for my mate Brad, he got Russia and Ukraine not only will they not win but there also a bunch of Fascists

Paul.

No Scotland AGAIN but if the first two games are anything to go by a feat of football ahead

Mother Russia

I got Croatia in our work sweep - looking forward to heading down the local gurrier pub on Sunday and trying to decide who to support.

group a final points:

russia - 9
poland - 4
czech - 3
greece - 1

and we met germany in quarter finals

I pulled out Portugal in our office sweep. That's the extent of my interest.

Scotland fulfill a vital function in world football. Reminding us English no matter how awful our team may be, they could be worse..
At least Scotland is spared the humiliation of being defeated by some country of sheep-herders that's only existed for ten minutes in front of the whole world, like England!

I shall be cheering on Holland. Not interested in the merry go round that is England. Destined to disappoint and frustrate.

I've got twenty quid on it being a Spain vs Germany final at 9/1 and twenty quid on Mario Gomez being the tournaments top scorer at 8/1.

I've got the Russian bloke Dzagoev in my fantasy team too. Good pick that one based on last night!

Netherlands you supposed to win easily!

the poor dutch! You just can not be happy results like that. It's one thing to be out played and lose but when you outplay the opposition & still lose, that's just a total kick in the tender parts...

I realy had a good laugh with this one

I got the Republic of Ireland in the work sweepstake.
It's ok I've got faith they will batter Spain & Italy after today's results...yeah right, and the sisters will be releasing a new record too

If you miss that many chances your opponent is ready to punish you and that is what happened. It is as simple as that and now we need to beat the Germans on Wednesday otherwise we're out. Again; as simple as that! Now go for it!!!

Don't laugh, here in Poland most people believe is that what group A will be looking like, forgetting that Poland team is the weackest team in that group and that it plays only because we're co-host of that circus.

Germany looked pretty good lastnight as did Spain tonight unfortunately (sob!)

Never heard of him, does he play for Leeds? Seriously, top choice you should be in the money there

was it coincidence the white stripes came on the tannoy when Croatia scored? either way, top tune

You got an excellent deal. We win, you win, everyone happy (except Azzuri side).

What is there to decide.
