    agree hitman ...I bet on that ... but Wales won't be a push over they could even win or at least draw

    Switzerland beat Albania 1-0

    you give me an idea that we could have a competition on the game to pick up the winner :)

    :oops::oops: just realized I put the nation in Italian .... must find an English newspaper

    wow Wales just scored:eek:

    I'm surprise with today's outcomes with Wales winning and England tie. France looks really good in their opening game but still have to wait and see the other big gunners how the look on the pitch.

    I'm a big fan and player in my old age I play every Wednesday and sometimes on Saturday if the family allows me to on Saturday's (lol). I saw the France game they look really good. Wales looks like a one man team with Bale(rumour moving to MANU). England meh… Germany looks their usual self very clinical with Ozil coming down the left. Mind you in the game a few scary moments for them but outstanding goalkeeping by their goalie and Boateng.

    inn short you said it all... yes that is what happened ..but Germany remain is one of my 4 favorite

    congratulation. on you playing ... I now understand why you follow it....:):)
    same here (many moons ago I was a goalkeeper with a bright future (so they were writing the newspapers) but 2 serious injuries I had to give up... played for a while in midfield but didn't like as much and I wasn't much good so I gave up turning pro and just played with local team to past the time and keep fit.... :(:D:D

    Turkey got lucky with losing just 1-0 today... Croatia was much better and missed lots of opportunities

    Germany won but it was definitely not an easy win. I think surprisingly Ukraine played very good against their strong opp.

    Spain - chech rep game will be a nice one tomorrow. It sucks that all these games need to be early and during the week

    Germany's Shkodran Mustafi broke the deadlock with a powerful header on 19 minutes.

    Germany - Ukraine 2 - 0

    I have relatives in Ireland so I'm rooting for them although I know its a lost cause. I don't understand how come Italy didn't take Giovinco maybe they think once you're in MLS you're done as a player. No Balatelli either and Buffoon makes the team how old is he now 100years old.

    My favorite European team is the Netherlands, so I don't exactly know which team to root for this time lol. I guess I want some Cinderella story to happen rather than the obvious favorites like Germany or France winning it all :p Ukraine was pretty impressive against Germany, so I hope they will make it at least to the second round. Bale is one of my favorite players so I hope Wales will do well too :D
