Yea.... since the Eurovision Contest thread went so well i thought i would give this one a go.
So far we've seeen
Poland-Greece 1-1
Russia-Chech Republic 4-1
DENMARK-Netherland 1-0
I was really surprised by Russias offensive abilities and combinations. Reminded me of Spain and Germany in the World Cup.
But most of all, so far, i was surprised of Denmarks capability to avoid Netherland to score a single goal and actually win the first game in the "group of death". Thank you Lady Luck. :)

Germany-Portugal 1-0
Germany were lucky to get all 3 points out of this match. I was surprised they weren't any better, even tho Portugal certainly is a strong opponent.

As an ardent Football fan, I've been following the tournament as well. As usually EURO comes mostly with the defensive approach & inability to score of European football. 1st leg of Group games completed last night. Most of the games were somewhat same with low scoreline. Moreover, after watching the beautifully funny & an open friendly match between Argentina (4) & Brazil (3) lately, the EURO matches now seems kinda lame to me:p.

Agree. It won't be surprising if they make through to the semi final. Hope to see a good game tonight against the co-host Poland.

Never been a Dutch fan, so bit glad to see them defeated by Denmark. You guys now have a fine chance for the next round. May be not the Germany, but Denmark should put their best efforts against bit vulnerable Portugal. But I'll be very glad if Denmark can surprise Germany somehow.;) Best of luck.
Anyway, so far enjoyed the last night game of Ukraine-Sweden mostly...I think it was the best so far...in terms of positive & open football.

FINALLY someone's posting. Thank you, Ros.
So far i've been able to see every single match and to me the most entertaining matches has been:
Russia-Chech Rep. (Thanks to Russia)
Netherland-Denmark (Of course)
Gemany-Portugal (mostly thanks to Portugal actually)
Croatia-Ireland (Thanks to Croatia)
Italy-Spain (Mostly thanks to Italy. Quite a big surprise there)
Sweden-Ukraine (Thanks to Shevchenko. Good for him. :) )
Biggest disappointment so far has been: England-France.
This round i'm looking forward to:
Poland-Russia
Denmark-Portugal
Netherland-Germany
Italy-Croatia

Greece-Czech Republic 1-2
After the beating the Czechs took in their first match it was clear from the first minute they were out to redeem themselves and kick som efeta ass. And for the first 5 minutes they did. Played very well first half of the match untill the goalkeeper made a complete fuck-up.
Poland-Russia 1-1
Russia was lucky with a draw. Already look like a very tired team. Not good.

Ditto. I think Russia will even looking for a draw in the final group match against Greece to go through to the next round & that will be frustrating to watch. Hope to see a better match between Chech & Polish.
Very much looking forward to see tonight's 2 big games in Group B....Denmark-Portugal & Germany-Netherlands. As Denmark already has 3 points from the first match, I'm not sure but they may now try to get draw in coming games to move forward into the knockout stage.

Portugal-Denmark. 3-2
Sad but fair result.
Germany-Netherland -2-1
Bye bye Netherland. Big surprise they're not better with an attack like that.
Italy-Croatia 1-1
Italy totally fucked up that lead. Stupid. But at least they have only Ireland left. Should be quite the walkover.
Spain-Ireland 4-0
Spain played like true upcoming finalists and totally crushed their opponent. The game could easily have ended 6 or 7-0.

But Netherlands still got a chance....IF...Germany beat Denmark even by a 1-0 & The Dutch beat the Portuguese by 2-0 scoreline.
Ireland & Sweden actually has no chance now for the next round.
