Yeah I think they'll beat Croatia today. I think they will be too good for Croatia today. Don't get me wrong Croatia are a decent side but I prefer Germany for this one. I want Spain to win the whole competition (Because I'm a Kopite) but think Holland will win it. Your a blue aren't you Catskillz?
This is the 3rd night in a row where the game featuring the top teams has been put on at 5pm - very odd scheduling

Well they're being broadcast across Europe, I don't know how much that affects it though.
What were the odds of both host nations being eliminated after the second round of games?

Yeah, I'm a blue. I had a season ticket back in the day, for 4 seasons, from when I was 14, to when I was 18.
By the way, I had a narrow escape today, with the Half time/Full time bet I was going to do. This was due to me reading on some website that the Croatia vs. Germany match was kicking off at 6pm, when it actually kicked off at 5pm. This caused me to be too late to place the bet, which thankfully saved me from losing all my money.
OK, so my Germany V Croatia prediction was incorrect. But don't fear, my prediction for today's Holland V France is, Holland 2 - France 0 with Kuyt to score 1st goal. And I was so confident I put a bet on it.
So far so good, I need Holland to score 1 more in the next half. Starting to worry though because France are starting to dominate and have had a few chances. The odds (of the bet I put on was 70 - 1, I've only put £2 on it. But £140 is not bad lol. Come on Holland!
Wow, well it's Friday the 13th so let's hope it works in your favour and only affects the French 
Absolutely gutted! Great game though.
You took the words right out of my mouth - at the beginning of this thread I picked the Dutch to win this tournament. Wish I'd put my money where my mouth is!
Yeah I also thought Holland would win it but I do want Spain to win it.
The group of death?! ha ha ha more like the group of Edam!
hard cheese France & Italy!
I wouldn't be surprised if Italy and France went south in this group now. The bookies will be happy.
I would, surely one of them has to eclipse Romania who have to play the Dutch in the last game?!
I thought Romania looked bloody dangerous today.
I didn't watch tonight's game, but I heard Van Nistelroy scored 2. If this is true, I'm starting to wish I'd backed him at 20/1, to be the tournament's top scorer.
