First post is now again up-to-date.

First half started nice, but towards the end of the first half, Holland waited too long.

Also, they need to take out Engelaar. Overrated blergh.

Edit:

WWWWEEWWWT. 2nd Half was awesome.

I disagree engelaar did well against italy. However vs france he and a couple of others seemed less good than vs italy.

First post updated with placed/eliminated countries and quarter final dates.

Nice to see Russia win. Not a great game to watch though.

Russia played very well but ffs they have so many chances yet shoot so few goals. It's really stupid because they could be even so much better, just imagine Arshavin and Projebnjak playing, then they would've won 5:0 against greece instead of 1:0. But next round Arshavin will come back anyways.

What a game the Turks nearly lost then turned the game around and the Turkish keeper got a red card in the last minute :D

Nice game :cool:

I should have watched this one instead of the Portugal one, really boring game on their behalf. Switcherland won 2 - 0.

What can you do, I support Portugal.

I SO badly wanted it to go to penalties, but hey, what a game. Czech's were awesome first half and rubbish the second, and the other way around for the turks. Second half the czechs barely got out of their half. Probably one of the best matches so far (along with both the dutch and the first spanish game)

Wanted the czechs to qualify but after a brilliant match like that I don't mind turkey getting through.

Bring on tomorrow's entertainment ^_^

Only managed to see the last five mins of the game, but what a great five they where. If it had went to penalties or if the turkish keepers foul was a penalty I was so hoping for the replacment keeper to play a blinder and be regarded as some super football god in Turkey.

My bets on Holland but as long as the finals between two fun to watch teams ill be happy.

Oh and im glad France and Italy have been playing pretty crap, the evil quailifing stealers that they are:p and the fact theyve been pretty boring to watch.

If Germany could sort out some really poor decision making in killer positions, or with an advantage in numbers (the chance at the end of the game for example) they could easily have put plenty more in the net.

Great free kick from Ballack, hope they sort it out for the Portugal game.

Looking forward to France v Italy tomorrow.

I found the match quite boring, not good team play and a lot of mistakes, but Ballack's goal was pretty awesome

Just as predicted SUI, POL and soon RUS are gonna get kicked out of the tournament even the boring defending champions GRE are eliminated.

Hopes are on Turkey, Croatia and Holland to lift the cup.

True, but they definitely should stop eating a pound of Valium before the game.

I am really disappointed, I hope Portugal does not completely destroy them.

Hell, it is the knock out stage now, everything can happen. Good luck to the last 8 teams. (I am really angry that i can't watch Italy - France tomorrow. Blame Game2 (aka My Little Pony vs Barbie Requiem))
