Holland v. Czech Republic.  Best game of the tournament so far (unless you're dutch of course).  Unbelievable.
 
 At least the Dutch are consistently inconsistent.  They never fail to make things interesting.

Because a win doesn't assure them safe passage.  Thye have to win and hope there's no 1-1 draw in the battle of Scandanavia.  And if there is, they have to win by 2.  A 2-2 draw eliminates Italy.  Italy is already accusing Denmark and Sweden of fixing the match, though not a single player has set foot on the pitch.  I love the Italians!

Alright Mankie - was the fix on?  I nailed a 2-2 draw wager in Vegas though!
 
 Arrivederci Azzurri....

I think that even in the 88th minute, when the score in the Denmark-Sweden game was 2-1 for the Danish and the score in Bulgaria-Italy was 1-1 for the Italians, Italy still needed two more goals to go through (doesn't sound correct since Sweden had scored five goals against Bulgaria, but at least this is what they said in the Argentinean TV, haven't looked at the math). If that is the case, there is no way Italy would have gone through. They deserve to be out, as Spain deserves also to be out.
 
 Actually I am pretty happy to see Totti out of the tournament.

I'm sure it was fixed, but I would've fixed it to get rid of the most boring team to watch outside of the USA!  ;)  
 
 What about Engerland then??? We must be one of the faves at this point.

I finally saw the 88th minute goal last night - the keeper "failed" to hang on, dropping the ball right at the feet of the Swede scorer.  I'm pretty sure it was fixed too and I will gladly collect my cash for predicting a 2-2 draw, only the 3rd in the 170 something draws in Euro competition.  Good times.
 
 The US is not boring, they're just not very disciplined, which tend to make them more exciting than boring.  
 
 As for Engerland, I would say France with the quarter-final round game against Greece have a better draw, and nobody is playing better than the Czech's right now, but Engerland has to like their chances.

;)    ;)    ;)  Didn't you notice that??
 
 The US actually play pretty entertaining ball, I was referring more to MLS, which is just like the Italian national team 8-1-1 format!

 Krauts 1-1 Czech
 Dutch 2-0 Latvia
 
 Let's hope it stays that way and Germany goes home early to keep the Italians company......

I don't watch the MLS very often, although I will attend an MLS match when they play them in conjunction with US National team matches.
 
 And ys, I was watching the Dutch match, but I will switch to the second half of the Kraut - Czech match.  Dobrý den.

Hitler...has only got one ball,
 The other, is in the Albert Hall,
 His mother, the dirty bugger,
 She cut it, off, when he was small!!!
 
 Bye Bye...go eat your strudel as you watch the elite of Europe battle it out! Maybe Italy will send you some nice vino to wash it down.
