To say the truth, the French did not play bad at all, fortunately for us, the dutch scored the goals. I thought the dtuch goal within 1 minute after the French one was hilarious
Yeah I watched the game. The Dutch are looking very impressive!

I felt really bad for Ribery though. He is an outstanding player and he never gave up. He was trying so hard to get some French goals and luck would just not have it his way.

The French team as a whole played very well actually. They had many chances on the Dutch goal and luck would just not have it!

Having watched the games....the Dutch have been the most impressive against some quality sides. On these games alone...the Dutch win it for me.

The German side have some good midfield and strikers but the defenders are not good. Far too slow. Against the pace and skill of Holland Portugal or Spain...I don't think they have it. If they play Portugal...then we shall see. Proof of the pudding and all that.

I really dont know what is wrong. Germany normally has a solid defence. Lahm is regarded as one of the defenders.

I do agree however, and think that at the moment they do not have it.

Actually I thought the dutch weren't that impressive, despite of the results. They let France play their game and were lucky that the French weren't able to score more. The French deserved better considering the way they played.

What I did find impressive of the Dutch was the ease with which they scored, traditionally a huge problem for them. 7 goals in 2 matches against Italy and France is impressive and they could even score while they didn't dominate the game (against France and the last goal against Italy).

congrats to all the other teams, they are playng good football.

donīt start underestimating germany, they still have much to show in this tournament. (no final for us Adler)

the Dutch will be in the final, maybe with Portugal

Can't say anything else but the Dutch have been excellent.

Against Italy and France.

And scored plenty goals.

If you can score against quality then you've got to be the best.

The Dutch have been impressive on the counters.

I believe we will see Germany playing Potugal in the Quarterfinals. May the better team win!

Even though I don't think the German squad isn't as good as it was 2 years ago I would still put money on them beating Portugul, probably in the quarter final, leaving them with a clear run to the final. They are a tournament team and always seem to do well in the end. They got to the final in 2002 playing pretty bad football.

That is very true. I would not count them out just yet.

Nope, Germans are always dangerous on the end tournaments. It'll be an exciting one.

Holy ****! Did you watch the Turkey - Czech game?

That was insane. I have to give it to the Turks, they played with a lot of heart and never gave up. To score 3 goals in 14 minutes and win the game 3-2.

Sorry to the Czechs. It sucks that you guys are going home early. If the Germans are not careful tomorrow, they will be joining you though...

The Swiss beat Portugal 2-0 tonight as well, in a meaningless game. The Portugese did not play with a full starting team as well.

Here is the standings in Group A after tonights game.

Bold Qualified for the Playoff round.

1. Portugal - 6
2. Turkey - 6

3. Czech Republic -3
4. Switzerland -3

Congrats to the Swiss supporters and team!
