We all know that tonight Holland is going to teach the Portugese how to play football.

They will win with at least 2 points difference and proceed to the next poule.

I thin it's going to be 4-1 , Holland 4 and Portugal 1.

And we all know I'm very good at predicting the outcome of the games.

Watched last night cheering on the boys in Orange, it was like watching England, all that fantastic talent but so poor as a team. To make matters worse I had to watch that [Racial slur - luv4u] get two goals.

Disappointed and the media is trying to pick someone out who to blame (but I am glad that all the orange flags, and what not, is disappearing in our neighbourhood)

I watched the game with my English neighbour. He tried to hide his pleasure about Holland getting their ass kicked. He didn't manage fully though.

I'm not sure who you are talking about, and who got the blame. I think Holland just wasn't very good.

And that's the general idea here. Media is not blaming one person. Media analysis is that there was no teamspirit. It was a bunch of big ego's not playing the way they can. There are top players in our team, and this outcome is ridicilous for their talent and skills.

The coach is getting a lot of SH**, eeh, negative feedback, about the way he formed the team. I think he is responsible for the lack of teamspirit. He favored Van Bommel. He should not have done that.

There's not much to say about it. The Dutch team just wasn't very good. And everybody could see that.

England did the bare minimum and topped the group LOL. Ukraine had more possession and let in an atrocious goal.

Having said that, their dissalowed goal did clearly cross the line. And the assistant standing on the touchline clearly saw it and still did not give Ukraine the goal LOL.

Cant wait to see Ballitelli on Sunday when England face Italy. We will probably lose but it should be a fun game.

Sweden surprised me by beating France 2-0 tonight.

I find it facinating how this is reported outside of the UK.

Yes, it clearly crossed the line, but the replay clearly shows the long ball in should have been offside, something most reports seem to leave out.

And now everyone is calling for goal line technology, including Sept Blatter today, yet there were very few voices calling for it when Frank Lampards non goal against Germany crossed the line in the world cup.

Just seems to be the usual anti English brigade, rather than a reporting of the facts. Its just sour grapes. The results over three matches tell the story.

Still bemused how the touch line official didn't see it!

I don't think it's anti English.

I think that by these kind of incidents, it's getting very clear that players, referees and their assistents get bribed.

And that still doesn't get researched intensively.

I don't think this one was a clear example of bribery. All of this happened so fast, no replay, no slow motion footage, pretty much impossible to call with certainty. The ball not landing on the ground and the defender swinging his leg make it so much harder. Anyone who thinks it's that easy to see should referee a few amateur matches on the weekends. Most people have no idea what the fuck they're talking about.

Okay, yah...

So who will win the championship??

Germany and Portugal have reached the semi finals by now. The two survivors of the 'group of death' respectively beat Greece and Chech republic with a strong performance.

Tomorrow Spain vs. France and then England vs. Italy. Two major classics I am looking forward to see.

I think Italy will beat England and France will beat Spain. Then Portugal will play France in the 1st semi and Germany vs Italy in the 2nd.

Final: Germany 2 - Portugal 0

Not sure which other team will make it to the finals, but I think Germany will win and as I said before, Spain will not win the cup again.

When Germany held out Gomez and Muller, I was like WTF?!?

But they absolutely DOMINATED Greece, and the big guys didn't have to break much of a sweat.

Go Germany!

I'm rooting for England

We were all hoping for something magical to happen, devine intervention if you will, but Holland is out of luck. They were very lucky 2 years ago, but now they have to face reality. I have to say that Holland is a great example of why the FIFA world ranking should be taken with a grain of salt. I believe back in August or September of 2011 they were ranked #1. The team nor their play really changed that much, they just faced better opponents.

I'm a very new fan to soccer/football. I didn't think they did based on what I'd watched, but then again they made it out of their group, so I figured anything could happen.

But as it happily turned out, Greece really didn't have much of a chance.

Well, hello there, long time no see!

My bet is Germany - England finale.

No idea who is going to win this one. It will be very exciting though.
