    Can't wait to see Russia in their next game today. Of all the teams, they impressed me the most.

    Russia will qualify for the quarter-finals, maybe even the semi-finals. But they wont go further. They played amazing against the Czech Republic. But that doesn't say much..the Czech Republic was really really bad. They won't perform against Poland. And Russia is nog consistent enough to reach te final. They played really well, but they won't be able to do 4 or 5 matches in a row..

  2. And Fernando Llorente hasn't played yet!!
  3. differences seen yesterday ..
    Sweden: Ibra + some others - Ibra a loser
    Ukraine: a team + Sheva - Sheva a winner
  4. Tim , so what do you think about England ?
    A 1-1 with France is not bad , isn´t it ?

  5. England was never good at big championships which is weird considering all the good players they have. France is on their comeback after years and years of huge problems.

    France haven't lost one of their last 22 matches so they had some expectations. England doesn't have and never has that good of a squad. Almost all the players of their top 6 clubs are foreigeners (Man City, Man Utd, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham). All the creativity in these squads has been coming from foreigners in the last 20 years. It says enough that all the danger from England yesterday came from corners and freekicks or from youngsters like Oxlaide-Chamberlain and Welbeck..But still 1-1 againts France isn't too bad.
    But I gotta say I expected more from France with players like Nasri, Ribery and Benzema, they didn't deliver yesterday.
  7. I wonder how England will play against Ukraine and Sweden, yesterday France wanted to attack but I dont see Ukraine and Sweden dominating against England.
    They have to attack against those 2 and I wonder if they are creative enough to score in those 2 matches.
  8. I hope that Germany beats Holland tomorrow!
    It will be damn hard!
    My guess, however, on a draw!
    Spain is the biggest competitor for the title!
  9. By the way dont you German guys and girls think that Bild is just disgusting, I mean the way they attack The Netherlands team and especially Robben is just pathetic imo.

    I wonder if Van Marwijk will put Huntelaar in tomorrow, if he doesnt make some big chances the Germans will beat Holland and they can go home.
