UEFA Euro 2012

Grpmhf, only one: Germany-Portugal 1-0. For tomorrow I wrote down Netherlands-Germany 0-1, now I hope I'm wrong about that!

The previous EU and World championships I was 1st place in correctly predicting the outcome, which made me think I could earn some serious money placing bets.. good thing that I didn't have time to do so

I am not surprised. It wasn't a pleasant day in Warsaw and it is probably not going to be a pleasant night. Russians worked hard for several hundred years to loose our sympathy and they are definitely not seen here as a friendly nation, so they are an obvious target for our hooligans. And while the huge majority of Russian fans came here came just for fun and soccer, some came looking for troubles. It was a no-win situation from the very beginning, tensions started weeks ago (or in 16th century, depending on how general you want to be). From what I know already around 100 people were stopped by police (mostly Polish but not only).

Poland v. Russia was probably the best game I have seen so far and what a goal from Poland! The Russian left back in particular was doing a good job.

Netherlands v. Germany should be a good one tonight, I like the way both teams play.

Muhahahahahaha! Portugal beat Denmark, which is good for us Dutch people.

...Now we only need to not lose to Germany.

KiwiKid

Hm...
...You will be. It's 0-2 now.

1-2!!!! I'd say a few more things about what those Germans could do with that football, but I don't want Evo to ban me.

Hup Holland hup!

KiwiKid

Sigh. I hate to say it, but the Germans really deserved to win this match.

We didn't deserve to lose. Not that we were better, but we were not worse.

The results from today's matches were ... bizarre. Russia is out, Greece is in? Whoa!

KiwiKid

If you have any influence in the UEFA, would you also tell them about the Danish for us disillusioned Dutch people?

They'll most likely have to play against the Germans in the quarter-finals. That's bound to become an interesting match.

KiwiKid

Well, that's that. Portugal - not altogether surprisingly - beats Holland and goes to the quarter-finals (congrats, Infinitum ). Germany, too, wins.

Borek

Would you believe it? Germany beaten by Italy?

D H

Germany looked good, real good for the first 10 minutes. Games last 90 minutes.

KiwiKid

History wasn't exactly on their side.

Admittedly, I thought Germany would win at the beginning. But after 90 minutes, I was rather surprised Italy didn't score more than 2 goals.

The last two minutes were pretty exciting, too.

rduarte

I was betting on Germany too, but Pirlo did a really awesome job assisting that first goal.

Overall I believe Italy deserved to win
