European soccer Championship (Page 3 of 6)

Ohoh, it´s "all or nothing" this evening ... Germany-Austria starts in 2 hours - everyone who´s "non-party", please keep your fingers crossed for our boys - hope they´re playing like they did in the first game this time!

Cathy - LMAO about the "Turkish Rugby Team" !

Eva

Dear George,

You are just a bit of everything, doesn´t count here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I´m for...........................Germany because of the lovely German Bonabuddies!

Good luck to you!

Andre Wittebroek

Put on your Orange and get ready to cheer for Holland. Do it for Hammer...he's still in shock after returning to his "real" life. Now, if I could only understand the points??!~!@#$! Cathy

You´re absoltely right Andre - our boys will have to wake up if they want to have the slightest chance against Portugal ... I really hope they will!

Unfortunately they only show the Italy-France game on TV here (World Cup final #2 ) - and I wanted to see the Dutch play ... but as you said: they´re already qualified. I´ll cheer for them anyway .

Eva

I thought the cloggies was something you took prunes for.

Congratulations to all those flying Dutchmen (and women) here, your boys and the fans did you proud again. Their current form suggests they could certainly go all the way to the final whichever team they field.

Holland Russia could be a beaut to watch, wouldnt want to be a fan of either team watching that one, but as a nuetral it is going to be good to watch, could be 5-4 to whatever team. Certainly the 2 teams that play the game I want to see it played. Attack attack attack, nothing better.

Spain - Italy could be drab very drab, 0-0 and penalties is a very likely occurence for me

Croatia - Turkey will be a good game, the 2 teams with the most heart playing each other, this one could get ugly because of the commitment of both sides, might be 9 v 9 at the end. Cant fault either team here, shame they had to meet each other now, as always nice to see teams that arent traditional powers going well.

Portugal - Germany has the makings of a very good game also, think on performances Portugal have the edge, but as history has shown time and time again, write off Germany at your peril.

Is a great lineup and I think the best teams have got through to the QF, which is always good for a competition. Realistically any of the 8 can win it all.

Like most of us over here who think that we know something about football, I thought that Portugal would win this game. Just goes to show....

We're expecting to see a super-motivated Dutch team on Saturday as a result of a personal tragedy yesterday: defender Boulahrouz's wife gave birth yesterday to a premature baby girl who died shortly thereafter. The player has said that he wants to stay with the group and play on Saturday. Whether he plays or not, I expect the team to try extra hard for him and I expect emotional scenes when a goal is scored. This tragedy adds an extra dimension to an already unusual game, because the Russian manager is also Dutch!
