    Heja Sverige!

    Agreed, too much emphasis on Zlatan. I long for the good old Larsson days... if Henrik puts on his shooting boots and has some decent service, Russia could still be in trouble.

    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

    Good thing for the Dutch is that yesterday showed that they don't really have B players. Yesterday was a B team, sure, showing sloppy passes and finishes, but there was plenty of individual talent should any of the main team be inconvenienced.

    Ya, And the good news is that they really did their best. We gave away a lot and Italy better apreciate it.

    A terrible sequence of events out of their control did for France last night. As soon as Ribéry went off I
    knew the game was up. As for tonight's matches...


    Matchday 12 Predictions

    Greece 0-2 Spain (2045)

    [The Spanish are already panicking about Italy - glee over Pirlo and Gnasher aside - as they tend to
    do, so I feel they will go all out to try and maintain momentum. Greece have simply been a resounding
    disappointment.]


    Russia 2-1 Sweden 'Sure Bet' (2045)

    [That's right, lads! The impossible game to call, and I will call it, despite all sense dictating I should
    sit comfortably on the fence. Why will Russia win? Andrei Arshavin*. He is the creative lifeblood of that
    team, and he has just returned from the Andorra suspension, boosting morale ... and ensuring that
    Russia will now bottle it and get tanked. No, no. They will win. Sweden have failed to impress me, and
    while history says they might well be favourites to qualify for yet another knockout stage, I say
    no. Win it for me, Andrei, I need the points!]





    *
    {I am aware that Hiddink has said Arshavin may not play due to lack of 'match fitnesx.' However it would be madness to leave him out.
    If he does not play, feel free to add -50,000 points to my score just to aid my implosion due to unparalleled frustration.}

    it's the **** that happens while you're waiting for moments that never come
