France - Holland
If only France would play with half of the fire of the Swiss or the Austrians...
On the upside, most of my wishes seem to have come true. 4-2-3-1 it is. Henry and Vieira are back in. And I sense that the players are rising up against Domenech. They want to play without the handbrake on, despite astrology-freak Domenech trying to play 0-0 every game, hoping for a sneaky 1-0 win in one game to win the goup. Led by Gallas, they are taking matters in their own hands.
No surprise, maybe, that it should be Gallas. He is used to Wenger and his artistic, attacking minded football. Sometimes I have these dreams of Wenger and what he couldn't do with a squad as talented as this. Just imagine...
I predict a belter by Henry and a solo by Ribéry to put Maradona to shame!
The Dutch counter-attacking machine be warned! Tomorrow is another day! Orange won't out-counter and out-catenaccio les Bleus like they did the Italians.

Romania - Italy
Go Romania! Allez les Jaunes!
They'll have to chain me to the wall again tomorrow, that I won't attack the screen at the faintest sight of anything azure blue, and can kick and scream and throw mindless insults at the macaroni football team without hurting anyone.
