Who is gonna win the Euro 2004?

[Aaron Cook]

Relax everyone, the Italians are just bitter and looking for an excuse to take away the attention from the fact that they just were not good enough.

They have some excellent players but everyone knows that football is a team game. The italian Media has also played a part in the downfall of the morale in the camp


the acusations of a fix are outragous! both teams wanted to beat there neighbours

just think would scotland or wales agree to draw with England, would they F**K,

would germany and Holland make an agreement, bollox would they

obviously it was a convenient result, but the accusation are an insult to the game the fans and to the supporters

do you think that 22 men would agree and no-one else would hear anything off it... no way

both teams played admirably and competitivly

[djbucko]

any predictions on tonight then?

who is going out, the dutch or the germans?

i heard the czechs were going to rest a load of players for the next round. got to be bad news for the dutch.

I agree, if you saw that match, there is no way you can script anything like that. Italy should have sorted themselves out before needing a result in the final match and help from the other match. If anyone is to blame, it is Totti for spitting on the danish player and getting himself banned from the rest of the competition. There is no reason for teams such as Italy, and Spain for that matter, to be out in the 1st round with the quality of players they have. But it happens repeatedly. Some teams just want it more, and some teams think just because of who they are, they are through before the competition starts, when in all actuality with that mentality, they are THROUGH, as in finished.

I think even if they do rest a bunch of players, they CAN still beat Ze Germans. But I wouldnt be surprised if Latvia pulls a stunner and beats Holland. So my guess is the Dutch are out.

[Aaron Cook]

As much as I love the Dutch people I'd rather see the Germans through this time, which for an Englishman may seem an unual comment, but I want to play Germany in a later round.

I have a feeling Holland will beat Latvia, but if those forwards do the shit again tonight for latvia there could be an upset on the cards. I wouldn't put it past the Germans to put together a win tonight against the Czechs either

[TomTom]

Driving to a mate now to watch the Czech play against the German team. I hope we will win and as the Czech are already qualified they won't give 100%.

Thanks to Heinz, Baros and the outstanding goalkeeper. Next: Sweden. Very difficult match I think.

[Aaron Cook]

I have to say that the final 8 teams deserve to be there, they play the high tempo that makes for exciting games.

I've been overwhelmed by Englands ability to score, we have about 8 players desperatly searching goals, and that has to be difficuly for the defence.

Shots on goal

England 64
Netherlands 57
Denmark 52
Sweden 52
Croatia 51

Come on England tonight!!

shame we'll have to knock out the host as they have been so hospitable.

its gonna be an excellent game especially if this fella gets on the end of a couple!!

[greg07]

Come on England tonight!!

[chrisarm]

really can not wait for the game tonight

[Kinetic]

Am I wrong or are you guys a bit over-confident?

It?s a shame we have to meet on the quarter finals. This really should be the final match.

Oh, well, good luck to the "steaks", but I hope to thrash you.
