Austria seem utterly incapable of scoring - how many gilt-edged chances do they need?!

Great game, anyway.

I know I said I wanted Greece to win the Euros overall, but the Greece vs Sweden game was more boring than a Middlesbrough vs Bolton game.

Most entertaining game for me so far would have to be Spain vs Russia. David Villa is impressive, and also very easy on the eye.

Germany were awful, im embarrased and disappointed.....

They weren't awful, but they were disappointing, especially the defence. They'll just have to do what Croatia did after their first game and improve for the next one and the possible quarter-final that follows. Germany (or Italy) are not automatically rubbish yet because they lost just as much as Holland and Spain aren't suddenly nailed on dead certainties to win it.

And if you're embarrassed now, imagine how I felt being Greek Cypriot after that Greece game!

Back to the group of death tomorrow

I have to admit that I am spoilt in this sense because I have watched every germany match in the qualifiers and they have been peforming absolutely great, so when I saw the match today, I was speechless.

Again I would say - same with Greece to some extent, they were impressive in qualifying for the most part too. Now they're getting booed by everyone for being duller than Bolton Wanderers.

I'm going to stick my neck out and tip France to bounce back today against the Netherlands. And Italy to eke out a narrow win against Romania.

My predictions stink! I must have been mad when I predicted France to win this tournament...

Fantastic save by Buffon today to keep Italy in it. Though I notice that assuming the Netherlands beat France here, they could theoretically let Romania win in their final game, making the France v Italy game immaterial and knocking both those teams out XD

I also find it funny that if the Czech Republic and Turkey draw their final match against each other, they'll have to have a penalty shootout to see who makes it to the quarter-finals!
