Also,can the word 'predictions' be removed from the topic title,packt up (or Hero).I mean seeing as they're aren't any other threads i suppose this could be the official one.
That's if everyone is happy for that to happen. ![]() |

this is what I was saying.
Considering Spain and Portugal are meant to be some of the favourites, they haven't look all that impressive. I think we genuinely have a chance. We have a very good record competitlvy under Sven. The only teams im worried about are France and Italy and I still don't think France are going to do it. If we make sure we don't get too cocky and we realise we have to put in as much effort against Switzerland and Croatia as we do against France, we could win the group. |

Spain looked week, if they can't finish then they aren't going to get very far, good to see the Pourtagese lose, because everyone gives them too much praise.
Now just waiting for the Czech's to lose so people can stop going on about them. Germany are 5/2 to win their group, a £10 bet gives you back £25, if I had the wonga I'd make that bet. |

![]() Greece played brilliantly and it totally undid the Portugese. They were expecting Greece to sit in their half for 90 minutes, and when they didn't, they were exposed exactly as what they are, overrated sh>ite. As much as I hate to say it, Ronaldo was immense when he came on, but everyone else just didn't look bothered. Mind you, I was loving it when he conceded the penalty ![]() |

Also, for tomorrow, Pro Evo has it down as a 1-1 draw.
Trezeguet to score round about half way through the first half, with an Ashley Cole mistake, and Ledley King grossly out of position. Beckham to score a penalty, round about 70 minutes, after Lampard gets hacked by Gallas. |

Gary Neville should be playing centre-back with Carragher or P Neville at right back. The guy has Champions' League and MORE Premiership experience at that position than King.

I've watched a fair bit of Spain recently, and I reckon that if they play shithouse and win, it's a good sign.
They can be either really terrible or really good. At their best they're up there with the best sides in the world, but most of the time they underachieve to all buggery. At times in the World Cup they looked decent, and let's face it, they were unlucky that Korea got past them on the back of some pretty average refereeing (only reason Korea got as far as they did). Spain vs Greece should be pretty good. |

The Czechcs have a good side.
It's a better side than the Germans, who to be fair do suck. One of there best players isn't there due to a psychological breakdown earlier on in the season, they needed Deisler. |

I don't like Gary Neville but he is far from sh>it. This just shows why they should have brought Wes Brown. Gary should play centre back today though. Carragher is mince.

Portugal need to drop Couto. He has wasn't even good when he was in his prime. Ricardo Carvalho should take his place, he is top class.
Deco should be on for Rui Costa. I didn't see the matches yesterday, haven't seen highlights either, but I heard leading up to the first match that Big Phil was going to persist with Couto and Costa. Seems a bit stupid. Deco, Figo and Ronaldo/Simao behind Pauleta would be tough to beat. Glad to hear Spain got a win under their belts. Portugal vs. Spain is going to be a really hot match now, because it will definitely be crucial. |

Portugal v Spain is going to be an amazing game because Portugal really need to win it.
I can see it being a high scoring match, hopefully like Spain v Yugoslavia in the last tournament. Quality game. |

0-0 between Switzerland and Croatia at half time,at the minute neither really looks like they could pose a major problem to England or France.

LOL @ Haas messing up the offside trap.
The ref has been giving too many freekicks, its not been able to flow properly but England shouldn't be worried by either of them, still, lets not get cocky. |

Finished 0-0 in the Swiss game.Not particularly good but the Swiss fans seemed quite good and enthusiastic.
Stupid reason to get sent off so now Vogel is missing for the England game. |

So what French team is going to show up today. The one from World Cup 2002 or the one from Euro 2000? How have they been doing in some matches cause they didn't even need to qualify for this. I wonder how they have been playing?

Oh, I thought if you win the thing, you don't have to qualify for the next one. I thought you get in automatically. No?

Not anymore used to be like that but they changed it as its a hinderence really as you don't play any compettitve games to prepare. Look at France at the last world cup and how Portugal started this one neither team had played a proper match in 2 years
