Yes, if I'm not mistaken head to head results count before goal difference, so a draw against Austria would suffice for Germany.

So: Portugal - Germany QF, Germany lose the semi to Croatia :)

Re: The Euro 2008 thread
 

You're assuming we'll beat what looks like the Czech Rep. I'm not so sure.

Re: The Euro 2008 thread
 

Are you supporting Croatia? I agree, that match is a tough one to call. Czech Republic haven't really impressed so far, but Croatia weren't exactly firing on all cylinders against Austria either.

Re: The Euro 2008 thread
 

Are you assuming Germany will beat Portugal? We will beat the Orange army to win it.

Re: The Euro 2008 thread
 

No, joking more like. I think Portugal are better than Germany. Then again: never write off the Germans.

Re: The Euro 2008 thread
 

Not quite sure what all the fuss has been about really with all this "shock win" malarky. Croatia are a very good side and Germany weren't exactly stellar against a very poor Poland side: they really didn't play as well in that first match as the tv lot are trying to make out.

Re: The Euro 2008 thread
 

True Croatia normally do ok and the Germans were terrible. We can never write off the Germans.

I wonder if Italy will finish 3rd or not

Re: The Euro 2008 thread
 

Yes.

Don't also forget that Eduardo's out, he really is about the only goalscorer in the side.
Yes, and they're a much better side with Eduardo, I still worry where the goals come from.

That said Modric and Krancjar create a lot (looking forward to Modders in the Prem) and Olic isn't a bad finisher.

Romenia - Italy 1-1. Fantastic penalty save by Buffon.

Holland - France next...

Re: The Euro 2008 thread
 

What a save from Buffon! Keeps their hopes of qualifying alive.

I fancy France to win in the next game.

Re: The Euro 2008 thread
 

Holland 1-0 France :D

Great Kuyt header from corner, terrible marking by the French.

Re: The Euro 2008 thread
 

I am so glad I picked Holland in the sweep stake..... What a goal by Robben. !

Re: The Euro 2008 thread
 

Brilliant piece of skill by Ruud for the second Dutch goal :D

Re: The Euro 2008 thread
 

And that was bettered by Schneider's awesome strike!

Yes it was.... i want to see Portugal meet Holland in the final.

Its only a shame that Italy & France aren't out after that earlier penalty save.

I love seeing Henry not get anything go his way through most of that game!
