I agree that Spain didn't deserve to advance at all, it was a shame what they played.

Well Spain are out and good riddance to them, for a team full of superstars they were very dull, the tournement will be better without them, well done to Greece for qualifying for the quarter-finals.England v Croatia tonight, so Croatia will be going home tomorrow.

I feel Italy doesnt deserve to qualify further, at least less than scandinavians, sorry pall :-(
Unless they'll beat Bulgaria 6-0:)

Lithuanian press also is calling Dick Advokaad as loser in the end, the main reason why Duch arent playing at their best, sorry director of playing:):):)

If not that acted foul by Nedved, when one Dutch was eliminated, I dont think Czechs would even tied.
On the other hand, Czechs are demonstrating one of the most offensive and eye-catching football here, so I have no doubts even their B-team will beat German.

Actually a fan of Croatia killed an English fan in Lisboa today early in the morning.
"If not that acted foul by Nedved, when one Dutch was eliminated, I dont think Czechs would even tied."
The second yellow card was nonsense (there were many fouls on Nedved - no wonder he needed a short rest on the lawn :) but I don't think it changed much after those substitution on both sides. As our coach said: it wasn't a problem to score 3 goals. The problem was not the get another one.
And although I always defend our team, I think our chances against Germany are only like 50/50.

Really? oh, I didnt know that. Very sad...

God that's aweful! how can people take it all THAT seriously that they go so far and kill someone? i mean, hey, this is only football!!

I read somewhere that it was a thief from Ukraine that killed the English man. So it wasn't football violence.
England did a very good job yesterday. Croatia played very weak, unbelievable. Tonight Denmark - Sweden. Denmark is a little bit my favorite, now Holland seems to go home. They play like the Dutch, I love that.
Mr. Scully · Member since
Yes, apparently the murder wasn't football-related.
Italy is too hysterical about the forthcoming match. Yes, it's possible that it will be a tie 20 minutes before the end and both Sweden and Denmark will focus on defence and it will also be a tie in the end. But I don't believe for a second that these two teams will play for a 2:2 result since the very beginning of the match.

"Though I really should reply to some comments from people who only played cricket or softball in their lives and can't really understand what football is..."
And what football is by Italy, heh? Catenaccio...? Sorry, but having players like Cassano, Del Piero, Vieri and all they should score 3,4 , 5 goals- not just one and go to defence...
I'm not saying that Italians are bad footballers (they're not- they're exellent) but the defensive approach is f**king boring! They're one of the most awful teams to watch in this tournament (apart from Spanish and Germans, whom I hope will go home...); Maybe I'm a softball or cricket (ACTUALLY- it's the Italian game that reminds of cricket, which I hate with all my heart...) fan but... I like attacking teams, I love POSITIVE football...!!! Things apparently so unknown to Italian coaches....
