King Cucaracha Posted June 23, 2004 Report Posted June 23, 2004 The Germans are gone. Gone and forgotten.
Mystery Eskimo Posted June 23, 2004 Report Posted June 23, 2004 So we have England vs Portugal France vs Greece Sweden vs Holland Czech Rep vs Denmark
caboose Posted June 23, 2004 Report Posted June 23, 2004 My Predictions: England 2-0. France 3-0. Holland 2-1. Czech Rpublic 3-0. That would leave... England Vs. Holland and France Vs. Czech Republic. Then again I said Italy and Spain would make it ahead of Denmark and Portugal. (I'm so glad I filled out one of those Free Magazone Wall Charts. Its helped me plot almost every possible match)
Guest CurryMan Posted June 23, 2004 Report Posted June 23, 2004 Gah I really wanted the germans to make it to the quarterfinal then we would atleast have a oppurtinity. I really thought they would score a goal there before the Czechs did one, Ballack was so close. Well Sweden is out now I can´t see our wingbacks having any luck with Hollands wingers.
Mystery Eskimo Posted June 23, 2004 Report Posted June 23, 2004 I dont know, I think Sweden-Holland will be very close. Sweden could easily steal a 1-0 win.
caboose Posted June 23, 2004 Report Posted June 23, 2004 I think Holland are finding thir form as every match goes. With Van Nistelrooy on fire, Davids starting to kick into high gear and the rest getting their act together, Holland could easily beat Sweden, get past one of England-Portugal and reach the final.
Guest CurryMan Posted June 23, 2004 Report Posted June 23, 2004 I really can´t see sweden having any chance against holland. Our wingbacks are not there right now. Nilsson isn´t a wingback he is a winger he is doing a decent job there but against Holland he will not stand a chance and Edman is out for the match and Teddy Lucic is perhaps not ready for a comeback who will play there? The offense of Holland is similar to Denmark but alot better. The other matches will be as follows -> France 3 - 0 Greece England 2 - 1 Portugal Czechs 3 - 1 Denmark Sweden 0 - 2 Holland Semis France 1 - 2 Czechs England 2 - 2 Holland penaltys and the both teams will miss and it will go on till infinity until Holland luckily scores one. Final Czechs 1 - 3 Holland
Dark Age Posted June 23, 2004 Report Posted June 23, 2004 Fuck yes! Another goal for Baros. A tenner at 66-1. Come on Milan!
caboose Posted June 24, 2004 Report Posted June 24, 2004 Rooney - 4 Van Nistelrooy - 4 Larsson - 4 Zidane - 3 Baros - 3 Tomasson - 3
Guest CurryMan Posted June 24, 2004 Report Posted June 24, 2004 If my guess about how this Euro will end is correct then I guess either Baros or Van Nistelrooy will win. But I hope that I´m wrong and Larsson can go away winning it But I doubt it.
Gert T Posted June 24, 2004 Report Posted June 24, 2004 So we have England vs Portugal France vs Greece Sweden vs Holland Czech Rep vs Denmark England-Portugal has me squeamish, as if no matter who I pick they'll lose. Since that strategy will probably work I will go with Portugal. France-Greece: I will take France although it will probably be closer due to France's play as of late, and the Greeks will leave it all on the field. Sweden-Holland: Great quarter matchup. I will take Sweden. Czech Republic-Denmark: I think this will be a great matchup too actually. I will take the Czechs.
LaParkaMarka Posted June 24, 2004 Report Posted June 24, 2004 All the games look like fun, even the France game (since they've been playing a little weak lately). My picks: England over Portugal France over Germany Holland over Sweden Czech Republic over Denmark
Guest wayzing Posted June 24, 2004 Report Posted June 24, 2004 The other matches will be as follows -> England 2 - 2 Holland penaltys and the both teams will miss and it will go on till infinity until Holland luckily scores one. If they go to penalties it'll never end. It'll be the longest match in football history England France Sweden Chech Rep.
deancoles Posted June 24, 2004 Report Posted June 24, 2004 (edited) Fuck yes! Another goal for Baros. A tenner at 66-1. Come on Milan! I saw Baros to finish top scorer and Czechs to win tournament at 100-1 in November when Baros was injured, I wish I had taken that bet instead of Italy and Cassano top scorer at 75-1, at least I only put a tenner on though. Edit:We have Torquay at home in our first game in Coca Cola League 1, there's a slim chance that Helen Chamberlain will be in the away end Poor Barnsley, they've got MK Dons away.

Mystery Eskimo Posted June 24, 2004 Report Posted June 24, 2004 I think the whole country is...I can see this going to penaltys too.
caboose Posted June 24, 2004 Report Posted June 24, 2004 Has anyoen read about the Portugese press calling young Wayne, 'McRooney'? I finid it funny, because he is of course an ex-amatuer boxer and probably one of the most well-conditioned players in the entire tournament.
King Cucaracha Posted June 24, 2004 Report Posted June 24, 2004 YES! GET IN! 1-0 after 2 and a half minutes! The nerves are still doing me in, but that's a good of a start as any. And from Owen no-less.
King Cucaracha Posted June 24, 2004 Report Posted June 24, 2004 Oh shit...not Rooney. Well, let's hope Darius' confidence from the Swiss game is enough. And hope Rooney's ok for the semi. If we get through.
Mystery Eskimo Posted June 24, 2004 Report Posted June 24, 2004 Rooney injured Portugal looking v dangerous, but we're coping ok so far.
King Cucaracha Posted June 24, 2004 Report Posted June 24, 2004 1-0 at halftime. This going to be a hellish 45 minutes. On a side-note...that Six Of The Best competition. The winner has got to be Gasgoine. Suker and Van Basten's were top class, but Gazza's was sublime. And it was on my birthday.
Mystery Eskimo Posted June 24, 2004 Report Posted June 24, 2004 Ugh. We're defending like its injury time or something. Lampard and Gerrard need to get into this.
Mystery Eskimo Posted June 24, 2004 Report Posted June 24, 2004 Fuck...I dont see us coming back from that.
King Cucaracha Posted June 24, 2004 Report Posted June 24, 2004 Fuck...I dont see us coming back from that. Same here. It's just a matter of time I think. We haven't really attacked consitantly since scoring.
Mystery Eskimo Posted June 24, 2004 Report Posted June 24, 2004 Extra time...England need to ATTACK. That should have been a goal but I'm not surprised it wasnt given.
King Cucaracha Posted June 24, 2004 Report Posted June 24, 2004 Well...I thought Terry was holding the keeper down, but the replays showed it wasn't. Like Hansen said, the ref totally bottled it. I really don't fancy a penalty shoot-out right now. The heart is going as it is.
Mystery Eskimo Posted June 24, 2004 Report Posted June 24, 2004 Well, I was just waiting for that. Portugal deserve to win this to be fair. We're just not good enough.
Mystery Eskimo Posted June 24, 2004 Report Posted June 24, 2004 YES! I take it all back! We're the greatest!
