Well I've looked around and I see no Euro '04 thread except that little rant no one is paying attention to at about mid-page. I think this event deserves it's own thread. Afterall it's only once every four years.
Onto business, today we saw the demise of England by France (who I'm pretty sure is in the lead right now) and a timid tie between Switzerland and Croatia.
Tomorrow we get Denmark v.s Italy and Sweden v.s Bulgaria. My predictions:
Italy > Denmark.
Bulgaria > Sweden.
Right now as it stands, France is in the lead with three points, followed closely by Greece (who pwned Portugal). Zinedine Zidane is the MVP with 2 points and I cheer on France. Go Zinedine. He has proven himself as one of the greatest in the world today by single handedly crushing England by scoring two goals in the record of two or so minutes with a free kick and penalty finale in injury time. w0w. Not only did he tie up the game for France he also won it for them.
So, now predict your victories for future games and cheer on your favourite team/country!
P.S France will win it all. If not them then Italy for sure.

It is now 2nd in my 'Most heartbreaking football matches I've watched' list, coming in just behind England VS Germany, Euro '96 Seminfinal - The game was tied 1-1 and then in the penalty shootout, England lost 6-5 (it's first cus it was the semi final) But England can still win their next two matches and finish 2nd place, and if Greece win their group, then England vs Greece is a possibilty. Now after my little rant 'bout England, I will tell you that either France, Netherlands or Italy will win Euro'04... |
Ha. I know what you feel like, man. In '96 Yugoslavia was facing Germany aswell and we were winning by 1. Then all of a sudden the German's tie it and get another one near the end. It was crazy. And I was a little kid back then. LOL I think I cried.
And I'm sure England will bounce back. One loss isn't so ba. They were winning 90% of that match up until Zinedine went crazy mofo on their asses.

Not on espn, on Foxsports. one of the two is Live!!!!!
As for me and my friend were in pain when England scored, beautiful freekick by Beckham. We were down for the whole match until Barthez stopped the penalty kick!, Hopes were all lost agian untill Zidane shot the free kick at the 90 minutes.
Even more happy when they got the penalty kick.

Croatia vs Switzerland was probably the least interesting of all the games so far, as they tied 0-0. Portugal suffered a huge upset when they lost to Greece 2-1 on Saturday and Spain never showed their best play in a tense 1-0 win over Russia. Sweden vs. Bulgaria has just kicked off.. |
Yeah, I have to agree. I expected more "action" from England and France.
Italy vs Denmark was a great match imo, unfortunatly, a draw like you said. I'm at the office now and I can't watch Sweden Vs Bulgaria.
Let me know the results asap please!
My prediction: Bulgaria will win.

OMG! 
I can't believe this. Sweden beat Bulgaria. 5-0. Sure, I knew Sweden have a very good team, but I never thought they'd win their opening game in Euro 2004 with 5-0. And yes, I'm extremely happy, but at the same time I'm worried. Chances are the rest of the games are not gonna go as good. But, damn. If they play like this against Italy... then I really think they have a chance of winning the whole thing.
