    Just to clarify things a little bit:

    Number of goals has got nothing to do with the outcome of this group. As England has one point over Croatia, only a victory will bring Croatia into the next round. Since England and Croatia aren't and will not be level on points the number of goals is not important.

    If, however, teams were level on points the following would apply:
    So, since this is the official way of doing things, a simple 1-0 would be sufficient for Switzerland to kick out France. Nice, isn't it? Won't happen, though...

    Thats the only game so far where I had to switch it off and do something else. What a boring affair it was.

    Bring on Sweden Vs Italy! :D

    For everyone, whats the guess on the scoreline for Sweden - Italy?

    I'm thinking one - nil Sweden.

    [​IMG] 1-1 outstanding stuff!
    When will teams learn not to give up a successful offensive game plan in order to defend a one goal lead?

    Italy clearly were the better team, but Sweden also has a sharp offense.

    Dammit, when can the Italians learn that Di Vaio should play and that you cannot defend a 1-0 lead?

    Otherwise, even a better game than Sweden - Bulgaria. Best one so far. Call me biased if you want, but that's a fact.

    Yeah. Good match that.

    Bloody Italy. They have such a defensive mentality. Should've had that match buried.

    I'm still trying to figure out how Zlatan tipped that one in. :D If i'd try something like that, i'd break both my legs.

    Yep, I should just tune into the last 15 minutes of these games because that seems to be where all the action happens in this tournament.

    Strange, the two best goals have both been made by Sweden, and they have also played in the two best games.

    Odd indeed. X)

    He heels it into the cross!!! HE FRIGGING HEELS IT INTO THE CROSS!!!
    Can you do that? Is that possible??

    CAN YOU FRIGGING HEEL THE BALL INTO THE CROSS??

    However good the Italians was Sweden more than deserved the equalizer when scoring a goal as the one Zlatan did.
