Italy is really lucky, and I agree, the way they have been plaing, they dont deserve to go to the quarter finals.
But, even of they eliminate Spain (which I dont think will happen), they will run into the Dutch, or whoever will beat the Dutch. And since the Dutch have been playing several leagues above everyone else... I dont think that Italy, Spain or anyone else for that matter has much chances against them. Holland is my bet for the title.
On the side note, Turkey eliminated Croatia after a penalty shootout. Lets see if they can do the same with Germans! [Show/Hide Quoted Message] (Quoting Message by Jpz #1 fan from Thursday, June 19, 2008 9:43:27 PM) |  | Jpz #1 fan wrote: | | omg i cant believe how bad things are going....
Portugal is out Italy qualified when they yet again dont deserve it....
shit im losing my tipping touch.... |  | stratlover wrote: | | Yeah, the Croats were a nice surprise... And with Poland drawing against Austria, they are already in the quarter finals. I must say tho, that the penalty that the Austrians got was not fair.
Damn Podolski, tho, I had a bet that Croatia will win 2-0, and it would have happened if Podolski had not scored. Well, at least I got the tendency right.
Yeah, Czechs and the Portugese seem really good this year, I hope that Czechs especialy will qualify.
Interesting game tonight: Holland vs. France. Lets see if the French can make a comeback... Tho my money is firmly on the Dutch. |  | Jpz #1 fan wrote: | | haha i hope Romania can do the same ....
ye i dont consider them the best in the world...the way they beat Australia was the most cheat - typical italian way...
Portugal did win...no surprise...i think it will be Portugal and Checs who qualify from this group..
damn it!!!!!!! Croatia won and Austria and Poland drew...fuck i got nothing right last night....i had better get points tonight or im really going to be angry... |  | stratlover wrote: | | Hell yeah, the Dutch HUMILIATED them! Seriously, Id never believe that ITALY can play so poorly, especialy when they are the running world champions. It will be more than interesting to watch how both teams will do in the second round.
Portugal wont have it all that easy, imo. Checs were good on the first game, I think it will be pretty close today. |  | Jpz #1 fan wrote: | | haha tipping is not so bad now...
the Dutch made me proud...im still getting over the world cup...if Italy dont even make it past the first round then ill be sorta avanged not fully tho...i will have to wait for the world cup for that to happen haha...
ESPAÑA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
they were in good shape...now they just have to hold on for the entire tournament 
I hope the Swiss can win...Portugal should win no doubt |  | stratlover wrote: | | Lol. Evil you! But the Austrians did put up a good fight.
France will win. I will be very surprised if they wont eat Romanians.
IDK about the Dutch, tho. My money would be on Italy (tho I dislike them somewhat, Casanovas as they are). |  | Jpz #1 fan wrote: | | Noooo Croatia won...i bet they would draw with Austria ahahahaha....
now my tipping is not perfect......awelll
France will win tonight and so will Netherlands...hehe cmon tipping..

|  | stratlover wrote: | | NO! Its Croatias year of victory! Or at least the year they get into the playoffs...
Two games tonight: Czechs vs the Swiss (go Czechs!) and Portugal vs. Turkey (go Turkey!) |
