Czech Republic-Denmark 3:0 only in the second halftime Czech Republic was better.
Koller, two times Baros,
he is with 5 goals on the top in the marksmen list.
Now Greece-Czech Republic, will be a very intersting game!
Anyone any special plans for tonight - the first evening without football since a fortnight?
Yeah, sleep early without drinking any alcohol
One team for the final is known, btw:
the dentist and his co-German linesmen
Yes,a german team in the final. :-)
Markus Merk, the referee, and his assistants.

Who do you fancy to win, Fbaezer? I'm going for a France-Holland final, with France edging it. England will be lucky to qualify from the group stages...
Since the teams are so similar in power, Eurocup is almost a tossed coin (didn't Denmark get invited in the last minute and win?).
I can say neither Latvia, nor Greece, nor Switzerland, nor Bulgaria, nor Russia shall win.
I believe England will do better than expected (perhaps due to lower expectations), but not enough to win the tournament.
I haver never thought too highly of France, even if I like the way the play.
Italy will be a hard bone to swallow, but their system hardly ever pays all the way to the final.
Portugal has a edge (and it's a generation's last chance), but -seems to me- lacks mentality.
Spain gets too desperate in the bad moments (another case of excessive media hype).
Croatia is going through a generation change. Was very good, will be very good. Just not the right moment.
So that would leave Germany, Netherlands, Czech Republik and the surprising (for good or bad) Scandinavians.
After writing that, and just to make everyone mad, I'd say the Czechs are going to win.
And Nedved is better than Beckham
This means, of course, that I am expecting the Czech Republic to beat the Netherlands at the final (let's hope it's a game as good as the one in the first round).
I know the ball is round, though.

BBC - Virtual Replay :wink:
Thanks Walter
(downloaded macromediashockwavesomething, intalled same, lots of interesting graphs etc etc. went to BBC sport, chose France Greece, selected goal, selected camera angle, got beer and sandwiches, got all excited, pressed PLAY .....absolutely nothing. Complete black. Can only assume the cameraman forgot to take the lens cap off. But thanks anyway, the graphs were good)
Since it works here, might be, there's something wrong with the sandwiches? Or it just runs without beer?

Quote:MPs Condemn Soccer Tournament Referees
By Jamie Lyons, Political Correspondent, PA News
The referee blamed by some for dashing England’s Euro 2004 hopes today came under fire from MPs.
They have tabled a motion in the House of Commons criticising the quality of refereeing in the tournament.
It does not specifically mention Swiss referee Urs Meier, who disallowed Sol Campbell’s goal which would have put England through to the semi-finals.
But few will be in doubt the MPs had him in mind when they demanded the football authorities took action to stop bad refs ruining more games.
who says our gallant representatives of democracy are over paid under worked and have too much time on their hands to waste public money putting down motions like this?
Jesus Christ. It's true. The UK is a bad loser.
No, the UK are not bad losers.
Some English mps are trying to make themselves look popular and in the process expose themselves as a bunch of toss pots.
I'm just kidding Steve... and making some minor spelling mistakes it seems.
Yes I know you are Rick
but I am genuinely disappointed that England went out, so not feeling in a good mood.
Also furious at pathetic antics of mps wasting public money.

I know. I hope I won't have the same feeling after tonight
Why's that?
Is there some football match on tonight?
Anyway good luck Holland and lets hope the refereee is....
Question, is the team Holland, The Netherlands, The Hollanders, Netherlandia, Orangia or what?
If I support Holland, are there other bits of The Netherlands that will feel left out and upset?
Poor Portuguese.
