And on a weirder note, if we get a draw result against the Czechs in the last match, the UEFA rankings will come into play which will decide the Czechs as the qualifiers.
Hottest match after 5 days indeed.

Re: Euro 2008
Yesssss!!! quarter-finals here we go...
We finish 1º no matter what result we get against the Swiss and that means we will play against the 2º from group B (crossing my fingers for Croatia). It was a good match as both teams had several chances to score.

Re: Euro 2008
Well further clarifications are being made about what happens if Turkey - Czech Repuplic match ends in a draw.
The rule I've stated above is valid if the relevant teams are NOT against each other in the last match of the group. However since under this circumstance the opposite is taking place, there will be a penalty shootout directly as soon as a draw result of 90 minutes is reached.

Re: Euro 2008
Let's see:
Poland 1 - Austria 0 (I think Poland played much better in the first round)
Croatia 0 - Germany 2 (and even worse if Croatia plays like it played against Austria)

Re: Euro 2008
Amazing, those lacklustre Turks. Ha.
Matchday 6 Prediction
Croatia 0-1 Germany (1800)
[Unsure about this one. Feel the Croats have to improve in both defence and attack. Don't know that
they'll be able to hold off the Germans, though as has been said, sections of the German back line, and
the goalkeeper specifically, look below par.]
Austria 1-2 Poland (2045)
[Admittedly I can't quite see where Poland's goals will come from, though hopefully they get Smolarek
into the game this time.]
it's the **** that happens while you're waiting for moments that never come

Re: Euro 2008
Shame for the Swiss to be out, it should have been the Czechs in their place, but it does at least mean that second place will be decided directly by how well the two teams still in it do on the last day. I always hate it when teams are eliminated by the result in the other game, especially if it's because of an already-qualified country fielding a weakened team. Anyone remember Spain in 98? They beat Bulgaria 7-1 in their final game but still went out because Nigeria were already through and so lost to a truly awful Paraguay side. Let's hope we don't see too many cases of that this year.
Oh, and congrats to Portugal. There's no reason at all for them to tire themselves out against the Swiss now, so hopefully they can keep improving and hit top gear just as the knockout stage gets underway.
Anyway, to my predictions for Friday:
Match Day 7:
Netherlands 3-2 France
Italy 1-1 Romania
With the Netherlands on form and Italy's defence the weakest I've ever seen I'm hoping for lots of goals on Friday. Netherlands - France could be a fantastic game if France bother to show up.

Re: Euro 2008
Damn Germany, 2 - 0 down already!
Edit: Nothing like the Germany of the World Cup, I expected they wouldn't be perfect after the friendly against Serbia, but not this bad.
Podolski! Thank you, get me some points ()

Re: Euro 2008
The first surprise but well deserved for Croatia. They can play as outsiders for the trophy like Greece in 2004. It seams we are going to play Germany in the quarter-finals...

Re: Euro 2008
Damn you Germans !
That makes our job much, much more difficult...
At least Podolski delivered what he promised - 'I will do what I can to help Poland' - good man !
Re: Euro 2008
Ten years after the Lyon result, too. Well done to them.
[They'd never be as much of a surprise as Greece, whatever happens. Not that they're bothered about
that; I'd suggest they want the world to know they're coming.]

Can someone please shoot Ballack? That man is a major irritant: all froth and no play.
I liked Croatia, but their win was due to desastrous German defending.

Re: Euro 2008
Germany what the...... this isn't how I like ya that was terrible. Looks like we need a new mortal enemy, I think Portugal will do.
Re: Euro 2008
Yes, Portugal will do just fine.
Although if this means losing to them in the final of this year's tournament I think I'll pass.
Re: Euro 2008
That wasn't already established after the battle of Nuremberg? It's a shame that the draw is closed for
this tournament. Would really have liked to see the rematch before the final.

Re: Euro 2008
That is a law of nature can't be helped, Portugal always beats usYes, Portugal will do just fine.

Makes them a perfect mortal enemy now that germany hasn't invaded us for a while
