[parkinsn]

Drinking a Grolsch celebrating the win over France, HUP HOLLAND HUP

[Snappy]

Go Portugal!!!! A final with them & Holland would be an entertaining match.

[SJSobczyk]

Not Dutch but you cant go wrong for cheering for them!

Croatia has been doing a fantastic job, knocking off England and now beating Germany....watch out for this team.

I couldnt be happier seeing Italy fail, its just a dream come true.

As for my home country, Poland, well at least we had good goaltending.

Looks like your team squeeked in to the quarter finals Drew. Finally after what... 12 years!!

Hup Holland Hup ... although if Holland loses to Romania both Italy and France are done. :twised:
Nah.. we want the win win win!!

11th.. after a very disappointing loss to Portugal in the round of 16.
Unfortunately Holland and Germany won't meet unless its in the final. If that happens we may have to get together to watch the game. :razz::mrgreen::razz:

Haha. Hmmm. Any excuse to watch good soccer and drink beer.

[muck]

who needs an excuse.. :mrgreen:

[Geofrog]

It will be interesting to see if Croatia can repeat the result with Germany (that is if they can get by Portugal) after they beat Turkey .

[Marlin65]

Not a real soccer fan but I too must say Hup Holland Hup.:wink:

[muck]

Any predictions for todays matches?

Im going with Spain to win over Greece 3-0 and Sweden over Russia 2-1.

[Der_Iron_Chef]

I would agree...though for some reason, I'd love to see Russia win :)

[Geofrog]

Either team will lose to Holland in the quarter-finals. I just hope Spain crushes Italy. Even though I'm routing for Croatia, realistically I think Holland will take it all.

[Lance]

My humble predictions:

Wednesday: Spain over Greece
Sweden over Russia

Thursday: Portugal over Germany

Holland wins it all!!!

[muck]

Fish your wish.. :lol:

Russia over Sweden 2-0
Spain over Greece 2-1

[a4twenty]

i think the coverage and game scheduling has really ruined this one for me. i'm out east ( TO'ish ) and have had to watch some crappy games ( that mean nothing to the teams ) and barely even see the highlights of the good games. hopefully the next round will be better.

at least it is better than having to watch golf or baseball :sleeping:

[Der_Iron_Chef]

Cha-CHING!

Fish your wish.. :lol:

Russia over Sweden 2-0
Spain over Greece 2-1

[BigA]

Germany over Portugal 3-2. An upset in my book. Portugal looked good early in the tourny.

Hup, Holland!! Hup!!

Either way the Holland Jersey will be on tomorrow.

[muck]

Anyone know where I can buy a Holland Jersey for my 8 week old son.. :mrgreen::mrgreen:

[dsaundry]

[Der_Iron_Chef]

OMG (http://www.euro2008.uefa.com/tournament/matches/match=301701/report=rp.html#classy+russia+leave+oranje+crushed) :eek:

[muck]

I know. I was stunned. The dutch pick the quarter finals to decide not to show up... :sad:

On the other hand Russia deserved to win. Arshavin was all over.
They do have an amazing coach though in Guus Hiddink, who just happens to be dutch. I wonder if he is banned from his home country now.. :lol:

[muck]

No footie till wed... :sad:

[Der_Iron_Chef]

Mwaaa ha ha. I know. Like a crack addict, my hands were shaking as the Euro2008 page loaded.

Nothing. *gasp*

[Geofrog]

There's no one left to cheer for now that Croatia and Holland are out.

[SEAN DUFFY]

germany beats russia 2-1 in the final ballack goes to inter arshavin and kolodin end up in england more than likely chelski russia wins the 2010 world cup and england does'nt qualify all this is free advice use it make money
