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

scoty,wales have had the same warnings.

France ?
rgds aj

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.

come on germany,you no it makes sence.

All the teams have played now. Who has impressed? I would say France, Sweden and more questionably the Chech Rep. England were also good. As I suspected, Italy were rubbish, Spain poor and Holland and Germany the same. (As you can see I've been doing a lot of work recently).

Will England qualify? With Owen off form I think our survival depends on the goals coming from Rooney and Lampard. The trouble with Rooney is you cannot be sure that he will stay on the pitch! I think the Swiss and Croats will be out to wind him up.

agree on the later but i have to go with the czech`s,there the most fluid i think.as for owen i never rated him ,thats from a liverpool fan.larsson looks as if he`s never been away to me.

At the moment the French are clear favorites @ 2.85 to 1 with the next team (Italy) drifting out to 6.2 to 1. That's on Betfair BTW.
I feel certain England will beat the Swiss and have upped my bet to a ton to win fifty eight and a bit.
This Scot *will* be cheering England!!!

now into the second set of group matches. i hope i have more luck in these games,than in the first group games,,,england, latvia ,germans, all going close for me but just failing, unlucky.

Moment of truth approaching for England. On a positive note, if England do qualify, they could meet Greece in the q-finals which would be a much better draw than France are likely to get.

its not going to good up to now,on my bets.fridays looks a nice bet,,i have sweden to beat italy ,of odds of 4/1 ,and sweden look handy roll on.

will stephane keep michael,,in his pocket?????????

brianboru , are you worth a bet today in the gold cup?

At tens or better perhaps but Mr Dinos is red hot favorite and it will probably be between him and Papineau don't you think - I've a little wager on myself for a first @ 10.5/1 and a bigger bet for a place @ 2.5/1 though.

This is from the racing post...

04/06/2004 Vodafone Coronation Cup (Class A) (Group 1) (4yo+)

....The St Leger winner Brian Boru was warm in the preliminaries and lacked the pace for a top-class race at this trip. He stayed on from the back of the field, looking in need of further, and he would be a fascinating prospect in the Ascot Gold Cup if allowed to take up his entry.....

Still get 10's and above on betfair.

Good luck on whatever you pick :-)

Hills have brought me in to sixes so somebody fancies me ;-)
