King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted June 18, 2004 Lovely goal from Zlatan. Magnificent. I'm finding myself routing for the Swedes for some reason. I can see them going real far in this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Insane Bump Machine 0 Report post Posted June 18, 2004 incredible goal by Zlatan. One of the best of the tournament. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest CurryMan Report post Posted June 18, 2004 I wonder if Zlatan will be able to stay at Ajax since there are some reports that there economy is half bad. There were talk about Barcelona before the match and they can´t be less active after this game from him and that brilliant goal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
caboose 0 Report post Posted June 18, 2004 1-1 for Italy must be disappointing. Sweden were lucky not to be dead and buried by half-time, but they were worth a point in the second half. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mystery Eskimo 0 Report post Posted June 18, 2004 Wow, Italy are in trouble here. So they need to hope Sweden beat Denmark while they beat Bulgaria. Or if Sweden-Denmark is a draw, they need to beat Bulgaria by more than 2 goals to knock out Denmark. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JangoFett4Hire 0 Report post Posted June 18, 2004 I watched my firest football game today, with some friends from Sweden... that goal from the swede was a thing of beauty... like a roundhouse karate kick! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest CurryMan Report post Posted June 19, 2004 how the thing goes for the group -> If Sweden and Denmark wins then Italy goes trough if they win. If Sweden and Denmark draw 1-1 then Italy and Sweden goes trough. If Sweden and Denmark draw 2-2 or more then Sweden and Denmark goes trough. If every team ends up on the same points then the match against Bulgaria is excluded and the other matches only count. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deancoles 0 Report post Posted June 19, 2004 I wonder if Zlatan will be able to stay at Ajax since there are some reports that there economy is half bad. There were talk about Barcelona before the match and they can´t be less active after this game from him and that brilliant goal I heard talk of Juventus during the Bulgaria match, I can't really see him fitting in in Italy though as he seems to need 3 chances to score a goal even though he's a great player. I think it's great that a country like Sweden who's clubs can't even pay £2 million for a player can draw with a team that has a £30+ Million pound Goalie,2 £20 Million Centre Backs and at least 3 forwards rated at £25 million. Linderoth hasn't really impressed me in the tournament and I reckon you should drop the Diamond for the Denmark game. Tomorrow I can see Czech Republic beating Holland and Latvia losing to Germany, then in the final game Germany and the Czech will play out a nice friendly 0-0 draw to put both teams through.

caboose 0 Report post Posted June 19, 2004 Germany 0 - 0 Latvia. So depending on tonight's result, we could have another group where any of the four can go through in the last games... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted June 19, 2004 Man, this Holland/Czech game is definately the best of the tournament so far. Just great excitement for almost the entire game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mystery Eskimo 0 Report post Posted June 19, 2004 Wow, great comeback from the Czechs. So theyre through, either Holland or Germany are out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted June 19, 2004 Best game of the tournament by far. Great comeback from the Czechs, and Poborsky deserves major credit for being so unselfish to set up Smicer's goal. Now let's hope Holland qualify over the freaking Germans.

caboose 0 Report post Posted June 19, 2004 Gotta love those Czechs. Thats is the best International game I've seen since Spain-Yugoslavia went to 4-3 in extra time at Euro 2000. So the Czech go through with the group win, meaning any of Latvia, Germany and Holland can go through if results go their way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dark Age 0 Report post Posted June 19, 2004 Great to see Milan on the score sheet again. I got a bet on him to be top scorer. Here's hoping. Still, great game tonight. The Czechs were outstanding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deancoles 0 Report post Posted June 20, 2004 Germany will probably go through ahead of Holland as the Czech's will put the reserves out in their match. Watching Igor Stepanovs for Latvia yesterday made me realise that he'd probably have done well in a League like the Bundesliga or Serie A if you put someone with pace alongside him, saying that I can see Bolton signing him on a 1 year contract in July.

Mystery Eskimo 0 Report post Posted June 20, 2004 Spain out! So England will have to play Portugal if we go through, unless we beat Croatia and France dont beat Switzerland. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
caboose 0 Report post Posted June 20, 2004 FUCKING CRAP. My irrational love of the Spanish means I'm extremely pissed off at the moment. They were my pick for the whole Championship as well. Congratulations to the Greeks and fair play to Portugal for fighting back after initial defeat. Raul, Torres, Luque, Valeron and Morientes = 2 goals. Just not good enough. COME ON ENGLAND!

Guest CurryMan Report post Posted June 21, 2004 I must say that I was impressed by Portugal, they haven´t showed anything so far in this tournament and today they showed some real good stuff. Ronaldo did some impressive things and I can´t understand why he hasn´t been on the field from the very begining. Figo looked sharp in this game and the early substitution for Nuno Gomes were good coaching. If Portugal is going to continue playing like this they can go very far.

DCMaximo 0 Report post Posted June 21, 2004 Nah, I do care really. The Czech Republic have impressed me greatly, the game against Holland was fantastic. Italy against Sweden was a damn fine match, as was France-Croatia and the next round of the tournament should produce some excellent football. Most importantly, Russia went out straight away. Still think Postiga should play more games though.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mystery Eskimo 0 Report post Posted June 21, 2004 Man, what a turn around! We didnt deserve to be losing. Rooney's value is going to end up at £100million by the end of this tourny. PLUS France drawing with the Swiss, so if it stays the same in both games we win the group~! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
