I HE THERE BEATING ICELAND????????WHOPEEEEEEEEEEE.

1 - 0 equals 3 points, doesn't matter what the score was, my tip to do well are the Spanish... Want England to do well but hey should have realised they couldn't see a match out...

I agree about 3 points but they were very unhappy.Think about how long it took
them to get 1 goal.

Look at Portugal who would have bet against them losing the opening match, still the crunch match to decide winners will probably be Portugal vs Spain... Who have you backed arjen?

i did adie i did same as i bet france would get beat in first game last world cup

nerves some times play funny tricks

Adie

I think you'll find Dave Dazzler backed Greece to beat Portugal!!! Personally i think the tournament will be out of France, Italy and Spain

Once again we managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.....how anyone can say Heskey is an international footballer has always amazed me.....great to see Rooney hungry, direct and not afraid to stick the boot in, shame the invisble midfield and owen had to be shown by an 18 year old. the defence was fine, king and campbell were solid...why was james in the middle of his goal for the freekick??..his wall should have been covering the left side to allow him to cover the right....was scholes actually playing.??..and becks should never be captain in a month of sundays..he has absolutely no leadership qualities....post mortems yet again....!!

PD - pretty good summary. also thought interesting that Cole kicked Pires off the park (literally!!!)

afternoon boys/girls.
denmark to win,
bulgaria to win,,and im in the money,,,,,i feel let down by england as i would of had another 20 in my kitty,,oh well.

Scotland placed on a major flood alert. All areas of Scotland were last night placed on high alert as a major flood is expected this morning. This is thought to have been caused by most of Scotland pishing themselves laughing at the England result.

hahahaha

scoty,wales have had the same warnings.

France ?

Impressive display by the Swedes - come in to 18.5 to 1 on betfair (you could have got 87 to 1 a while ago). Interesting competition!
My favorites (Italy) looked nothing special at all.

brianboru, dont be fooled.tournaments are all about peaking at the right time, i.e. the final . great tournaments teams like italy , germany , france tend to start not so well and improve as the tournament progresses. france showed against england that they could up their game . did england??. thats as good as england get.italy will improve greatly for their next game against sweden , who were never 5 goals better then bulgaria. also, the press and media criticism back in italy will hurt the pride of the players. this will give trapatoni ammunition to galvanise his players. even at their worst( and last nights performance wasnt far off thier worst) they still didnt concede, buffon, nesta , and cannavaro , played well. i expect beter things from italy in the next couple of games. they will get better , as will france, portugal and spain.

Don't write off the swedes, I have them winning the group...

GERMANY to win against holland ,,,,,,come on didi hamman.

italy/england/holland, all over rated and living in the past sad but true.watch out for the cechs and baros,,,,,,,,,,,quality.

cechs are my tip for tourny
got them at 14/1

big time

imho

BEAT YOUR PRICE ,DEADFRED 20/`,,WEEKS AGO.

Note that all the celtic vermin have decided to post on the boards now. What does a Scot know about sucess in a tournament ? What do they know about winning ?

Enjoy your moment whilst it lasts, we'll have far more to enjoy ourselves from both our own sucesses and Scottish/Welsh/Irish defeats.
