The big news beeing:
Netherlands/Italy 3-0
Italy played way under their ability and Netherlands got away with a BIG W. Few people saw this comming and the question on if italy will be performing as badly against Romania (who played well against France) arises.
and
Greece/Sweden 0-2
Sweden (My homeland) also shocked the soccer world with their W. Zlatan Ibrahimovic made a brilliant goal with the help of veteran Hendrik Larsson's smart and quick pass. We played a good game apart from a few misses from the defenceive line with their passes. Greece's still a great team and they played well, didn't go all the way though.
This thread is for all discussion of the tournament, what ever the subject might be, just to keep the threads down some due to all the soccer fans on this site!
Might also help the U.S readers become more interested in the tournament, although it's just europe who gets to play..
