Its now Sunday night, time to reflect on a triple dose of Euro-action!
Italy v Turkey: I originally said the game would suck and be a goal-less bore. **** I was wrong (V£10 lost there)
The game was action packed from the whistle. Inzaghi has proved that he is the Italian version of Andy Cole, but worse. In the end, the Italians should have scored at five (not including the dodgy penalty).
France v Denmark: My prediction of a 3-0 win to the French was spot-on
(although only Henry scored from my lot). Cracking game and the French have shown us that they are a force to be reckoned with (the Arsenal lads also played well - Anelka missed a sitter, but he's a reject
)
Holland v Czech Republic: Again my 1-0 prediction was spot-on
. The first half was forgetable, although the mighty Bergkamp had a couple of reasonable chances. The second half was completely different with the Czech dominating it. The highlights there were the shots of Jaap Stam getting stiches applied to his eye (the Dutch producer must be a twisted dude), Nedved hitting the post (again, another Inflictor amazing predction
), Poborsky missing a sitter, the mighty Overmars setting up a dubious penalty.
In the end, the Czechs were really unlucky, and should have bagged the 3 points.
So, I'm breaking even over the opening two days. The French have shown they're definately the favourites to win at this time. The Italians look okay, but only outsiders. The Dutch were pants and need to work better to fulfil their promise. The Czechs have a hill to climb which is unlucky.
Bring on the England match...one all I think. The Romanians to beat Germany 2-0. Again, V£10 on both results
