Thanks. I really enjoyed watching the game. What a great beginning of the Euro 2004
 So far so good, we're the only country in our group with 3 pts. I hope we can defeat Italy on June 18th. If they didn't manage to win over Denmark, then we should have a chance to beat them  Oh, and Henrik Larsson made two of the goals against Bulgaria. It's so good to have him back on the team

Can this be viewed in America?
I'd love to see the games. JD you'd probably know.

Now, it might be tougher against a non-suicidal defence (Bulgaria were a lot better than 5-0 would suggest, but their defence was like the keystone cops), but I reckon that even the Italians will be having nightmares about facing Larsson, Ibrahimovich and Ljungberg. Ibrahimovich in particular has matured into a really good footballer since the world cup. On top of that, you've got great service from the wingers (that bloke that came on for Lucic was pretty useful) and a solid defence. I'm just kicking myself I didn't bother to put my usual 20 quid on Sweden to win (you could've got 33-1 before the competition) and Larsson to be top scorer. Czech Republic v Latvia and Germany v Holland tonight; wins for the Czechs (3-0) and the Dutch (2-1), methinks. |

Even though that the Euro is on, the best soccer match this week will not be held in Portugal but rather in Argentina in the semifinals of the Copa Libertadores. Boca Juniors vs River Plate. You will not believe the pace that those guys play. If you compare for example the Italy vs Denmark game, one would say that the europeans were playing at half the place that the argentinians do.

Latvia - Czechs was a nice game to watch. Both teams played well, IMO.
Now I'll sit down and watch Germany - Netherlands, and it'll be an interesting game, I hope.

I'm gutted for the Latvians. So close!
1 - 0 Germany! Woot! (I'm a Tottenham fan... we had Jurgen Klinsmann for ages... the man, the legend! )

Haha, too bad the Latvians didn't win
They beat Sweden in the last game in the qualifying round - which was Sweden's first loss in a qualifying round for years - and managed to qualify for the Euro 2004. Boy were the Hungarians mad at us for letting them win Anyway, it would be fun if they (miraculously) managed to advance from their group, since they shouldn't even be there if it wasn't for their annoying little victory over Sweden So I cheer on Latvia. Even though they don't stand a chance against Germany or Holland.

Holland tied with Germany. Van Nistelrooy had a nice goal with 9 minutes left.
Czechs won over Latvia. Kinda surprising that Latvia had the lead at half time though.

Looks like the Dutch nearly did their customary self-destruct manoeuvre, and the Czechs got out of jail too. Still, I'd expect them both to go through from this group.

So far, IMHO, only Zidane, Van Nistelroy and perhaps Larsson have showed why the're considered stars. Van Nistelroy's goal was amazing!
Let's see how go things today for Raul, Figo, Rui Costa...

Just finished watching the Spain Greece game. Raul was nonexistent. Spain dominated but in the end it was a 1-1 draw.
Joaqu*n was excellent. Regarding Iker Casillas: le colaron la pelotita.

Tsk, tsk, Maedhros, shouldn't you be working?
I'd like to see Portugal win today. They're in the lead, and the russian keeper has just been sent off, let's see what effect that has.

And it is actually quite appropriate, since it is about the History of the host country, as you said. The Portuguese took the business of exploring very seriously; and besides, we traditionally see ourselves as an Atlantic country. Quote:

Though I didn't watch the whole game it's my understanding that it wasn't anything big. Portugal should have done better against a Russia who played much of the match with only 10 players and reserve keeper...
