No one has been convincing because the quality of the teams is so high throughout the competition.
The problem with England is the obvious indecision over what the best system is, and the confusion over the best line up. Also, the defence looks decidedly dodgy. A plus point is England's potential to score goals, but a huge negative is the inability to retain possession. |

Well, what can I say. We were fucking terrible in the opening half-hour against Russia, they completely dominated and took two chances and it could have been 3-0 and elimination by the opening half hour. Luckily for us, they didn't capitalise any more and then we started looking a bit better. Still, very tense final few minutes as Russia went forward and nearly scored a third goal.
Fucking glad we got through, it's been a great effort by Greece to get this far. If we get eliminated next game which looks to be against France (and highly unlikely we'll win) I'll be happy. Hopefully France loses and the Poms beat Croatia cos I want to play off against the Poms but I highly doubt that will happen. Then again, I didn't think Russia would kick our arses like they did today so anything can happen. ![]() |

I'm glad to see Portugal through, it would have been a shame for the host nation to go out at the first round.
Spain well, they just didn't show enough to me of what I've seen of them. They remind me of England. People make them out to be better than they are for some reason. Must be because they have a strong domestic league or something ![]() Just need England to get a result and then my two picks are still alive. Choke on that Dazz :foc: |

I know, France are no way near as good as they were.
Most of there best players are getting old, especially there defence and this was shown in the Croatia match. Desailly really is a weak link. |

Trezeguet and Henry just don't complement each other, I've noticed.
Trez just takes up too much of Henry's room. |

Yeah your right, just checked it.
Breach of contract is a serious issue though. |

What did he do to breach it?
Also, Senegal could probably be a good team really. Half of the French team is Senegalese as a second nationality. |

By the way, let's not get too confident...
Euro 2000: England need only a draw against highly fancied Eastern European opposition. Euro 2004: England need only a draw against highly fancied Eastern European opposition. Euro 2000: England go down to early goal before scoring two goals late in the first half to take the lead.

1-1 with the France/Swiss game. Alright game thus far. France dominated the first 20 minuts, but after the Swiss scored, France looked like sh**. A nice chance for Henry wit a header, but he shot it wide of the goal. Zidane has a goal for the French. |

Well, Rob, when you read this - Hansen looked a might happier this year for an England goal. Not as happy as Wrighty or Reidy, but still...

One of the fun things about this game is that seemingly everyone on my estate is watching it on Sky Digital except for me. Its quite funny to say "what a goal" for Rooney's finish, put the tv on mute, and hear everyone shout "ROONEY" "YES" "GOAL" "WOOOOO" etc.... Croatia look fairly shocking, although I doubt they'll play like that in the second half. Sol Campbell, Wayne Rooney and Steven Gerrard have been fantastic. |

Owen isn't playing too well but he contributed to both the goals.
Some of the balls played to him haven't been to good. But at the moment I don't care because we're winning. |
