Back where I belong, last place and hit over the head with a wooden spoon again.

My predictions are pretty bad this time..

Didn't do great on the predictions, but Albania's defeat means England are through to the knockout stage now - we can't do worse than a qualifying third place.

Poor old Croatia, but where did all that extra time come from. I've read that if England win by 3 clear goals Croatia can still go through - I can't see that happening though.

Didn't do bad, 4 points.
Holland is through because of the Albania loss. Let's see what tonight brings we play Austria.

That Italy last gasp goal helped me ..4.5 points last night..

Croatians blaming a Dutch ref, calling him a criminal, for the 8 mins of extra time. This is after the Croatian coach took 3 mins to sub a player when it was 1-0, and the captain took 3 mins to miss a penalty. Sore losers much?

In fairness it was a very sore way to lose

That's the game, you can win or lose in the last minute. In all honesty, the Italians were piss poor, so were the Croatians. Both teams should perform much better with the quality of the players.

Some changes in out team that should make it interesting. Our man Geertruida is in, in favour of Dumfries, Malen is in and Veerman is back.
Let's see if we can beat Austria this way.

France struggled against them. I'd say you'd need to be a bit more adventurous than you were against France to secure the win

It's a bit different than against France this time, Geertruida is Feyenoord, he is used to playing against teams like Austria that have their defenders high on the field, Malen is a very fast right winger from Dortmund that can cut trough the defense and Veerman is the boy with the golden pass.
In possession Geertruida will come up to the midfield creating a 3-4-4 situation. I am happy he chose for these guys, I think they will be able to cut through the Austrian defense.

Where I said 3-4-4, I meant 3-4-3  ;D
