2012 UEFA European Championship

Holland were very poor I cant see them beating Germany

On another day Holland would have hammered Denmark, with the amount of chances they had to win it I'd imagine they'll feel hard done by to lose to a team of obvious lesser ability

I was surprised as to how many good chances Holland wasted especially when Robben hit the post!! (shades of the CL final me thinks!). As for Germany V Portugal, I think there's a chance that Portugal could possibly turn Germany over despite the possession the Germans have had. I half expected their front two to be getting good services but it doesn't seem to be working for them. so if anything there's going to be at least one or maybe two former winners going home from this group, but I think Denmark know what they need to do in their next game. Holland you have to expect them to make wholesale changes for their next game. Van Persie was hard done by the poor service he had. The current score (0-0) represents how nervous the teams are in this game.

Was it 28 chances they wasted?

1-0 for Germany. Maybe I was wrong about the goal fest!! I give Portugal credit for not conceding more goals to Germany, but I think
the Netherlands could now spring a surprise against Germany and blow the group open.

Yes and Denmark had only 8, but were more clinical in front of goal. The Germany and Portugal game was a bit scrappy, but interesting to watch at the same time. Despite today's results, it shows any team can still make it through to the next round in the group of death. Russia have been the best team I have seen so far, but they played in a much easier game against the weakest team in the tournament

Poor game but Germany just did enough to win

so who was
a) the best striker NEVER to of played for England

and

b) the best striker to of played for England, but never given a run in the team

and

c) the worse fuckin striker to put on an England shirt

There are reports of racist abuse towards a Czech Republic player according to RTE

I'm very nervous about the Ireland and Croatia game tomorrow, good luck to the boys in green tomorrow
