    PBI, those are good predictions.

    Czech Rep 2-0 Switzerland

    Portugal 2-1 Turkey I don't think Ronaldo will have a good Euro though. Without him on top form they wont score three against Turkey.

    I'd like to join in in this.

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    Match Day 1:
    Switzerland 0 - 2 Czech Republic
    Portugal 1 - 0 Turkey

    Czech will be a bit stale at first without Nedved or Rosicky, but they'll overcome a rather average Swiss side.

    The Altintop (sic?) brother's will keep Turkey in the game for long enough, but Ronaldo will set up something to edge it in the last 20 so minutes.

    Match Day 1:
    Switzerland 1 - 1 Czech Republic (whisful thinking i know...)
    Portugal 1 - 0 Turkey

    As host nation maybe Switzerland can put things hard for the Czechs...

    I bet Scolari will put Portugal playing just enough for a victory...he already said that a victory in the first match is half way to the quarter-finals. Besides, Turkey is a strong side.

    Earwigoh!

    Switzerland 1 - 3 Czech Republic
    Portugal 2 - 1 Turkey

    Let the tournament commence.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    I take it that Mediolanicus and Byblos will be joing us then.

    I'm in no hurry to reveal my predictions yet, but I reckon it will be a tight game between the Czechs and Swiss, playing the opening game in front of home crowd could be a boost for the Swiss, although you'd obviously fancy the Czechs to out-class their opponents... The Swiss are a stubborn side with a fine defence record.

    How annoying. I intended to change my prediction to a Sweden win but missed the deadline because I was playing FF7. Glad they won though. Gotta hate Greek football.

    Match Day 5(?)

    Czech Republic 1 - 2 Portugal
    Switzerland 0 - 1 Turkey

    Why did the chicken cross the road?

    So that its subjects will view it with admiration, as a chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road,
    but also with fear, for whom among them has the strength to contend with such a paragon of avian virtue? In such a manner is the princely
    chicken's dominion maintained. ~Machiavelli

    My little review of today's games...err yesterday's games
    Spain - yes they played a lack luster Russian team who was very slow for most of the game, but they showed some weakness where they let the Russians get off some very good chances. 4-1 could have been 4-3 for Spain or easily 2-1 in Russia's favor. A bit of luck and some excellent play in the second half really showed that Spain was here to play.

    Sweden - They played Greece, a bunking team who takes their chances on the counterattack. Sweden looked very good and I can't wait for their game against Spain, that's gonna be fun. And Ibrahimoviç's goal was fantastic!

    Match Day 5:
    Portugal 3-1 Czech Republic
    Turkey 1-2 Switzerland
    "No one said it was gonna be easy! If it was, everyone would do it..that's who you know who really wants it."

    All us men suffer in equal parts, it's our lot in life, and no man goes without a broken heart or a lost love. Like holding your dog as he takes his last breath and dies in your arms, it's a rite of passage. Unavoidable. And honestly, I can't imagine life without that depth of feeling.-Bierut

    Gah! Don't be so German! You're sneaking to tournament victory in tried and tested Germanic fashion - ruthless, devoid of frivolity or any ado, and with merciless efficiency!

    Poor Louis on the other hand continually finds himself unable to distinguish between wish and prediction.


    I should maybe follow Ser Clegenbauer's predictions, but here are my predictions for Match Day 5:

    Czech Rep - Portugal 0-1
    Schweiz - Türkiye 1-0
