...a tough tournament ahead. First Portugal, and then probably Sweden, with a final showdown against France, and a chance to put them down for good.

You have to know Portugal are going to come into this game fired up - all or nothing. Figo needs to be locked down, as does Ronaldo, but our boys can take them. I'd like to see England go into it with just as much determination and attack as they did against the Croats.

Sweden have played well right through and with a lot of fire. Dark horse of the tournament, but I think if we defeat a determined Portugal to get through then the boys will know they haven't just fluked it, and we'll ride the Swedish horsie all the way to the final.

Then we have France, and sheer poetry determines that we win against them after a tough fight. With two hard games under our belts we'll have proved ourselves, gained endurance, and determination and balance. Put the stupid errors behind ourselves, and the Lions will be out to hunt and to fight.

Leaving the blues uniform in shreds, the trophy will be held high.

Finally.

Bye bye italy. My dad was in tears.

Did you see the look on Cassanos face when he realised they were out after he scored?

Doesn't even bear thinking about what must've went through his head!

[GreenPiggy]

Classic comedy moment. The Italians always deserve to go out simply for trying to bore the world to death even though they have quality players.

[CrapshoT]

They've got a good spitter though.I bet the whole team are spitting chunks now.They like the Spanish always let themseves down.

[Moonshade]

Yeah, bye bye Italy I'm glad we got 2-2 against Denmark, otherwise it would have been: Bye bye Sweden, which isn't good! So now, they're gonna keep working down there in Lissabon Keep up the good work Sweden!

[streetster]

[killgORE]

germans wrote cheques that their bodies couldn't cash....

[RoGuE|SaBeR]

Several big guns out at the first hurdle...

Spain
Italy
Germany

Main contenders now surely have to be France, England, Portugal and .... the CZECHS!

I would say in that order too.

*Writes off the Germans*

Oh sweet Jesus, I've waited so long to do that.

Looks like we can write them off for a good few years as well, going on the state of their team. Can't see then doing much at the next World Cup next year, even though its in Germany.

[Galant]

Erm, I'd write the Swedish in over Portugal, and possibly the Czechs too.

[killgORE]

the czechs have come back from a goal down with a second string team... think of the result with nedved etc back in.. they are playing really attractive football. So EVERYONE should want them to win it !
