Euros Footy Score Predictor

[dom]

Holland should have won., legitimate goal chalked off .. nonsense

Well it should have been a goal agreed but that wouldn't have necessarily led to an NL win. France  would have been less risk averse and more likely to score.

Bit of shame yes, keeper could have never had that ball regardless where Dumfries was. But that's the game apparently these days.

[Slim]

For today's fixtures I've picked Czech Republic, Portugal and Belgium to win. 1-0, 2-1, 2-0 respectively.

[Fishy]

Yep same teams to win as slim.. different scores.  Yesterday was nil points..

If Cruyff had been able to play in the 78 World Cup they would have been World Champions! What a team they had in the 70s

[Slim]

I didn't get to watch England in a World Cup between the ages of 10 and 22. So like most people I picked an alternative side to support in '74 and '78, and it was Holland.

For this essentially historical reason, I wanted the Dutch to beat Spain in the 2010 World Cup Final. And yet they took such a cynical, ugly attitude into that game that I actually switched allegiance after the first 20 minutes, and I cheered when Iniesta got that goal at the last gasp.

He could have played if he really wanted to. Cruyff was a phenomenal player but not always the nicest person. Or the most business savvy.

Also: only Argentina would have won that 78 tournament,regardless. And that had nothing to do with football.

Germany did it quite well under Low.

I have a Nigel de Jong jersey
(my surname being the same)

He is now technical director of the Dutch football association.

Well - I'm not going to pretend I wanted Scotland to win, but that was a very tense game. I definitely think Scotland should have had a pen. But Hungary seemed to me to dominate them in the second half and they were much better at keeping the ball to themselves.

Either way - what a story, eh?

[Fishy]

The usual Scotland fuck up... hardly any attempts on goal..not sure it was a penalty really..  was either going to be 0-0 or Hungary 1-0 after the first half...

[dom]

Tough to lose so late in the game but the quality is not quite there. And if Scotland couldn't qualify to the knock out stages in the past when the likes of Dalglish or Strachan, McQueen, Souness etc etc were playing, what chance now? Just not creating that standard of footballer anymore. Similar to the Republic of Ireland

[Thenop]

Whoever get the Swiss in the 8th finals is in for a tough job.

[Slim]

Wahey, I'm up to second place. Strong performance on that last round.
