...lucky day for the dutch - and as a German I have to wish that they'll lose their next match gainst Portugal - it'll be the smashhit of the next round anyway.
Czech dissapointed me a bit as they played only 5 minutes at full strength but how can you win a team that wins 3:0 anyway?
Gonna be a cool next round especially as the greece team might be able to surprise us once more.

I think it's already been quite a surprising tournament - Germany, Spain and Italy didn't even make it past the group stage, and now we're definitely going to see Greece or the Czech Republic in the final. I hope it's Holland vs. the Czechs in the final, and I won't care who wins, because they're both good sides.
Good luck to all the teams still in!

I hope it's a Portugal vs Czech Republic final. I still haven't forgotten how they eliminated us in Euro 96. Portugal vs Netherlands is just going to be one hell of an entertaining game, i think.

Hi all!
Just a quick visit while I'm on vacation.
I just read a very sad article about Dick Advocaat being so messed up that he's going to give up his job as national coach, regardless of how Holland will perform. He's completely demoralized by all the bashing from the press :/.
Either way, I didn't expect the quarter finals to go like this at all! Still, I'm not complaining

Holland are out, tough luck guys.
I think Edgar Davids may get a bit of stick after doing a kieron Dyer on the post for that set piece

Guess I wouldn't call it tough luck - they played bad. Portugal was better and had much more chances (Deko missed 2 unmissable shots in the end). From an optimist perspective I would say: At least you stayed longer in the tournament than most other "old" "big" teams (France, Italy, Spain and Germany). It's sad that those great players couldn't form a team.
I guess Greece will loose - though I'm still hoping that they'll make it somehow.

Unbelievable, Greece beat the Czechs to face portugal for a second time. I really hope Portugal can set the record straight with Greece after losing 2-1.

I've bet against Greece from the beginning...
Should I change for the final? I think the Greek will get their revenge from the first match.
I hope the Greek won't win. If they did, I already fear that some of our old players might say "Look, we played very well, but we just lost against the future champions, and only by 1-0." Argh... We s*cked so much, I would not stand it.

I guess Greece will lose the final match. I even think that Figo will score a goal in the final - he'll be holy 2 minutes after the match 
Portugal got better with each match while Greece got more lucky :wink:
I mean the goal gainst the Czech was lucky - not the fact that they scored one but the timing. If Portugal can keep the level of the match against Holland without an own goal they will maked it.

You know ben, judging from the accuracy of your latest predictions i'm not sure if you thinking Portugal is going to win is a good thing.

You know, Greece used to give me the impression that they were winning by luck. Today, after seeing how their solid defense completely elminated Portugal's offense, i really have to give them the credit they deserve. I'm not unhappy with the outcome, not too much anyway, i have some sympathy for the Greeks , and after all they deserved it. A great Euro it was, right up there with England 96.
