    Ibrahimoviç makes a dazzling return.

    He put one rocket in which made to be his first goal since 2005.

    Sure, you can join in now. The same goes for all the others wanting to participate, the opportunity officially closes after the group stages.

    Table updated.

    Pure negative football from the Greeks. I mean passing around the 3 centre halves just isn’t the way to go, especially as defending champions… Spain did very well, although I still don’t think it’s gonna be their year.

    Match Day 5
    Final Prediction

    Czech Republic 0 – 2 Portugal
    Switzerland 1 – 0 Turkey

    Emre is injured, out of the match squad for tomorrow's clash. Very likely that Arda will be replacing him.

    That makes either Tuncay keeping his position in the left wing or Uğur Boral replacing him.

    As our coach said today: "For us, torunament is kicking off tomorrow".

    Matchday 5 Prediction

    Czech Republic 0-2 Portugal (1800)

    [Can't see the Czechs improving greatly, as they've been playing the same kind of football for a while
    now. Portugal should have far too much for them, despite their reasonably solid defence.]


    Switzerland 1-2 Turkey (2045)

    [Hoping this one'll be a bit feisty, thanks to the infamous World Cup qualifiers. I think the Swiss chance
    died in the first game when Frei limped off the pitch and the luck failed to go with them. Even with key
    Turks out, I can't see anything more than a consolation goal for them.]
    it's the **** that happens while you're waiting for moments that never come

    Czech Republic 1-2 Portugal

    Switzerland 2-0 Turkey

    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.

    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

    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.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    Emre and Gökhan's absences are confirmed for today 's match. Gökhan's partner, Servet's situation will be evaluated through the game.

    Our defence was already weak :/

    Typical, the day I don't watch is the day 7 goals are scored. Ah well, onto tomorrow:

    Match Day 6

    Germany 2-1 Croatia

    Poland 0-0 Austria Sure bet



    Germany looking depressingly strong this year, should be enough to overcome Croatia. As for the other game, seems to me it will be a miracle if either team score so I'm going all-in on this one in an attempt to reverse my inexorable slide down the table. Though given how badly I'm doing at this it'll probably be a 5-3 thriller.

    Quintus, how many sure bets do we get by the way? Is it 1 per round?

    Match Day 5:

    Switzerland 0-1 Turkey

    Can't see the Czech side beating the current Portugese team (they were impressive in their first game) and even though Switzerland 'll be having the home advantage I can't see them beating the more experienced Turks (hamstrung as they may be).

    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
