You are right Hansie. It's no fun predicting the same result on all matches. But it's effective. 4 matches out of 10 so far have ended 1-1 which adds up to 48 points in the pool. I joined a hockey pool last year and predicted the outcome of 52 matches. I won't have to tell you that the guy who won the pool played exactly the same result on every match. He won by a margin...

The Euro is doomed in 2012.

very sad events yesterday in Poland before the game.
I'm sorry to say that but some Russians continue to behave like pigs with Poles.
It's a shame !

The incidents were annoying indeed, but the Euro is not doomed yet. Beeing German I can only hope that the German and Polish police will prevent German Hooligans to cross the border. And of course I still hope that Germany will get the cup, but there is no need for any kind of hysteria!

So, will the Dutch team be recovered in time to take up against the Germans tonight?
I hold my breath, to be honest. I think those players who were fighting for rehabilitation
after a mediocre season with their clubs (Sneijder, Robben, Affelai) against the Danish team
are even more convulsive tonight. And Van Persie and Van Bommel will feel the need to prove
themselves too. I can only hope they will realise they need to co-operate to have a chance
tonight.

Good luck to the Germans.

I want to get lost in your rock 'n roll and drift away

tonight, I will support the team that plays the best football !

Good to see that you will support Nederland then

Ja, warum denn nicht ?!!

Well, yesterday's classic Poland-Russia was exciting with a just result. The Poles were very brave, the Russians a bit better.

I hope we have two great matches today, Holland-Germany being the classic one.

May both people here laugh after that match. This pic has been taken after the Dutch disaster and Danish dream last Saturday. We don't need that again. But my expectations are low this time, because the Dutch miss the bravery of the Poles.

yes Holland is forbidden to lose tonight otherwise it's a ticket back home !
at least, a draw against Germany and win against Portugal for their last game and it could do !

Yesterday good start for Czechs, but later game was very poor. Both teams played badly. Poland-Russia maybe not the best game but great battle. Both teams were exhausted at the end. Fair result, but doesn't change anything for Polish team. We must win against Czech Republic. They won yesterday, but didn't show anything to be afraid of.

If Poland will play against Czech like they did against Russia, they have a very big chance to win. But please let them not play like they did during the second half against Greece. That was too bad.

Wow, Portugal is playing very effectively. Already 2 goals, against 0 for Denmark.

The Danes never give up: Denmark-Portugal 1-2 after 41 minutes. The Danish goal is a tiny bit dubious though, because of offside.

Kleermaker you have your own strange definition of offside. Why don't you want to accept the rules?

Szef, maybe they better abolish the whole offside rule, just like in field hockey. Just to please me

Those Portugueses - just terrible. One just could wait for a Danish goal.

Portugal - Denmark 3-2.
Great fighting spirit of the danish team though.

kleer,a bit more optimism....Holland will win 2-1 tonight.

Well, the Danish team deserved a draw, but lost the game. Portugal and Denmark now each 3 points, and 3-3 as for goals for and against.

Why terrible?'

two goals by gomez...incredible.
and just 40 minutes over.

I feel sorry for the Dutch. A good team, but not efficient enough. Now they have to trust in a miracle...

Indeed. Playing like cowards. Compare the Dutch with the Poles .. what a difference. The Germans are playing summer evening football. Not any problem for them. Just easy going: they don't have an opponent.

The more I watch the more I think England have nothing to fear.

Juichen voor de oranje! Come on Dutch! Now is your chance.

Congratulations Germany. Bye, bye Holland.
