Tusky

w00t! Czech R 1 - 0 Switzerland

rednik

Go on Croatia and Pogatetz is my star player.:p

rednik

Have to say this is a bloody good game. Croatia started off well but Austria have really come into the game. I know I took the p**s out of them but they are putting on a good show at the moment,not sure if this is down to complacency on Croatia's part as like most I thought they were probably the best of the outsiders to win the tournament.

Im so torn though. I want them to win, but i despise the chap. Fingers crossed for him to be suspended for the final, but Figo and Rui Costa to come back (somehow) and save the day!

Yeah same here, I had to stick 10 quid on them seen as how it was my place you got in the draw so to speak, so i felt that was the natural random choice. It will be sort of like having a player score against your team, yet secretly you arent awfully hurt on the inside because he is on your fantasy football team.....still cant stand the antics of ronaldo though!

I was dying for Austria to either score one, or not concede a second, so I'm kind of half happy.

Switzerland still in with a shout of being worst team :pac:

s_carnage

Ah i can see France sticking 2 or 3 past Romania tonight and hopefully Italy and Holland will follow suit.

C'mon Benzema!!!!

Keano

I am pretty happy with Germany. A quarter spot looks in the bag.

I'm missing tonight's games due to Boardeuax playing. I was looking forward to seeing Spain capitulate, once again.

Mr Alan

I'm looking forward to your face capitulating.

No, they usually capitulate a couple of games into the tournament. Remember them starting WC06 with a 4-0 win against Ukraine before it all went wrong!!!:D

They haven't got the players this time to even do that.

Some blonde bint up front, wtf is that all about?

Mr Alan

All paid up.

G'wan the Croatia. Surely this gives them a great chance at qualifying top and getting the easier quarter draw.

I do however have Germany in another Sweepstakes, so a draw would have been preferable.

I have the Croats in the work steak

Now come on Austria, a draw in this next game would be perfect.

rednik

Come on Poland. How the f**k they are still in this game is beyond me. Boruc will definitely be moving if he keeps playing like that for the rest of the tournament.

Feckin Greeks. First they invent gayness and now they throw away a lead and a draw against the Spanish reserves. On my list of enemies they go.

Bit unfair to expect Holland to play on consecutive nights.
I'm not fully convinced about them either though Des, so you may be right. Make them play 2 1/4 finals and see how good they are then!!!!:D

Bit unfair on my men the Russians, all the same. They worked their asses off last night and get no thanks for it.

I doubt Spain will win the competition outright as I stand to win money if they do...so, it won't I'm afraid!

Tusky

Thanks for the update Des. I lost interest when the Czechs went out

Germany V Spain final is a possibility isnt it?

Possible, but not probable.

My da backed Croatia at the start and I slagged him about it. I will never hear the end of it if they do it & I probably wont even get a pint out of it!

The Spanish defence will get exposed for what it it is, much like the Portuguese one was last night, and will make Toni look like an excellent player. Italy to beat them 3-1.

If I am wrong, you can quote me on this post, and bellow in my face.

I sincerely doubt that! I think, Spain will beat Italy as the loss of Gatusso and Pirlo is simply too much, Spain just have to find a way to break down the Italian defence! I do however think that Holland will be able to expose the Spaniards frailties!

Charlie

Fair play Shamrock.

Although I will be rooting against you in the Semis as I have Germany in another Sweepstakes.

Drag00n79

Thanks, Charlie. It'll be a big ask in the Semis but stranger things have happened.
