I couldnt watch the first match, but of what Ive heard and read it was fantastic.
Yes, the first match was great. It was just a pity that the Danish didn't get rewarded for their hard fight.

So we'll get a very interesting last matchday in group B. All teams can still reach the quarter final or go home.

Did you see the first Danish goal yesterday? An amazing one!

Once again Krohn-Dehli showed some amazing ballhandling and sense of what to do and when to do it. Weird how he cannot do this as regularly for his own team Brøndby. Which makes me wonder what made our National Coach Morten Olsen decide to bring him on. I am not saying he shouldn't, but just wondering what he based it on... :)

So far it has been a VERY excitring tournament, and though I was thinking that I was only gonna watch the Danish matches, it seems the sheer excitement of it all has made me go and only miss one game, and one half so far of all the games played. :)

But indeed Denmark deserved to have kept the draw at least.

Going by that logic, didn't Denmark deserve to get pounded deep into the ground during the match against the Netherlands?

Not at all. But I do have ears, and I don't block them all the time.

I guess it means you listen to all matches in radio. :P

I did actually listen to half a match over the radio, so not completely wrong. ;)

Oh I I am not saying that the EURO should be fair for everyone - just for us. :D

I still hope that Germany and Denmark will get to the next round. Even if it's not very likely, it's still possible (Netherlands have to win and Denmark needs a draw).

Great match between Sweden and England today. Not really the best football of all times, but very exciting and with several goals. It's impressive anyway that there wasn't a single 0-0 after 16 matches and that the teams shot 3 goals average in each match.

First corner was in 45th min and there were no offsides. That says much.

I have been missing matches left and right sinceI wrote that I only missed very little acouple of post up. Fortunately I saw some of the SWE-ENG match yesterday. I haven't seen a single of Frances matches yet. Are they looking good or...?

Also missed Croatias match, which I was a bit annoyed at, since I saw their first and it looked good.
Its a combination of house-purchase, social gatherings and tiredness from allergies (pollen) that is making me miss matches so its not lack of wanting to. :)

First match of France was pretty average. Yesterday they were better, but still didn't play like a favourite for the title.

Group A turned out to be a rock-paper-scissors group. Russians beat Czechs who beat Greeks who beat Russians in the end. Fun.

First big surprise. I wouldn't have bet 10 cents that Greece and Czech Republic would go on while Poland and Russia have to go home. I wonder if that will have an influence on the Greece's election tomorrow...;)

Hopefully it will lift their spirits tomorrow, but I am afraid that it might raise the level of nationalism, which in turn might mean voting for some criminal half-brains. I am guessing you saw the newsphotage?

I wonder what the goal judges are good for when they can't even recognize a clear goal. I've never seen them decide anything even if the had perfect view... :rant:
