As usual... That's mainly why even if I'm born and I live in France, I can't support this team. Even when they win they are more lucky than talentfull.

Netherlands were good, but the task was made much easier by the very, very poor defenders of Italy. Their positions were never respected and it was really easy for Van Der Vaart & Cie to take profit from this.

:o At the result between Holland and Italy. I was expecting something like 0-0 or 1-0 to either team! But 3-0!!! :o

France/Romania game was such a bore. I stopped watching after a while! :lol:

Holland played very well as a team,but the match was closer than the scoreline sugguests.

Spain are going to win this Tournement,all they have to do is get through their group and the title is theirs.

Spain are like Holland in 1988,so overdue a Tournement victory and have so many great players.

By the way Larrsson will come on as a sub tonight and score a goal,probalby a header against Greece,sorry space75!!

Croatia will win their group,Portugal will win theirs as will Spain and Holland,and these are easily the 4 best teams in the competition!

Cheers Cidermaster

PS I have money on Spain,as if you didn't know that!!

The Spanish offensive players are all strong, but they have also show some problems to defend, not sure they will win so easily against the biggest teams.

With only one game to go before the end of the first round, some conclusions :

Teams with strong defensive problems :
- Italy
- Russia

Good defenders but some problems :
- Spain
- Poland
- Netherlands

Teams with very good defenses :
- Portugal
- Germany

Strong offensive skills :
- Netherlands
- Germany
- Portugal
- Spain

Problems to translate their offensives into goals :
- Portugal
- Russia
- Italy
- Poland

Teams which showed purely nothing, the shapeless teams :
- Turkey
- Romania
- France
- Croatia
- Switzerland
- Austria
- Czech Republic

I totally agree with chris975,Spain,Holland and Portugal are the best teams.

Germany are overated and i expect Croatia to overcome them in total style.

Todays Czech Rep v Portugal ollks set to be a total cracker.

Wow at Spain's huge win! I didn't expect them to win by such a margin!

I didn't watch the Sweden/Greece game but i guess Greece won't be making it 2 wins in a row! :lol:
