Euro 2004 - Group D

Well maybe…but it’ll probably be me saying it again I’m afraid :gizzy:

OOh some confidence you got for your team. From "There is no chance of the Brits getting kicked out on Monday Shinzy" to "Well maybe..."
OOh well we shall see, you know who I wont be cheering for though ;)

PS- Like my new avatar+title? :D

I don’t like that icon. It’s colours look like they’ve been pinched from the Union Jack which is sad I feel. But the Dutchess title is just :flower1:

:k:

Both teams(Holland and Czech) played at their very best - Offensively and defensively - good teams create chances on their own - that's why Germany should be scared of facing this Czech team in their next game.

The Czech Republic was incredible - Nedved showed why he is the European Soccer player of the year - if he shows all of his skills he is even better than Zidane!

This game also shows why Van Nistelrooy is one of the best forwards of the world currently - He scores in almost every game - he really needs no obvious chance to score - he is just there when it counts. It was great to watch these two fantastic players in one of their best games.

The sad thing is: Most likely the Czechs will now play with a “B-Team”, which increases the chances of Germany.

I still hope they can kick the Germans out though. (I have too many dutch players in my “fantasy team”. :bummer: )



               PLD W D L GS GA PTS 
 CZECH REPUBLIC 2  2 0 0 5   3 6 
 GERMANY        2  0 2 0 1   1 2 
 NETHERLANDS    2  0 1 1 3   4 1 
 LATVIA         2  0 1 1 1   2 1 

If Germany beats Czech its all over for the Dutch. :D

Germany WILL beat Czech, Holland might as well book a flight home now.

just like they comprehensively defeated Latvia?

No way in hell Czech will be beaten by Germans - al though i picked Germany to win it all but by seeing their past games - Czech side has been unbelieveable.

Czech will take crown - Mares will score the game winning goal in final - agree anyone?

^I'm with yah!

If the Czechz beat Germany tomorrow then they can have the title!

^ The only problem is: The 5 best players of the Czech team (Nedved, Koller, Rosicky, etc.) will not play tonight and will just be substitutes.

^^ now isn't that just terrible?

:whistling

:hehe:

Xtreme you’re horrible :mad:

I want all the brits out of this thread!!

My gut feeling says Holland will go through....I'm quite confident.

The Czech have some second string players in their team today....advantage for them being that they are all eager to prove their worth and they are topfit

^I will treat you on anything you like if your gut feeling turns out to be right!!

^well, someone has to stop the Brits......if not Portugal, we shud have the back-up of Holland cuz i don't think the Germans or Swedes are good enough.

I'm too tensed to watch the match :(

*Group D explained *

The Czechs have won Group D.

Germany are guaranteed to progress if they win against the Czechs.

The Dutch will go through with victory against Latvia only if the Germans do not beat the Czechs.

Latvia will only go through with a victory and a Czech win or draw.

If the Czechs win and the Latvia - Netherlands match is a draw, the Netherlands will reach the quarter-finals with two points as long as the match against Latvia is a score draw. If it is goalless, the Netherlands will go through unless Germany lose by the odd goal in a match with at least five goals. Then the Germans qualify on UEFA's coefficient.

Looks like it is anybody's game. I think Germany would go through. Czechs wont have enough motivation today since result of this match do not effect them at all.

I want Holland to win so much after Italy's exit. I m not sure there will be enough interest left for me If Holland is kicked out too :~(.

and i would HATE to see German playing in quarter final. Atleast Holland-Italy matches are not boring like theirs.
