    Can't say I'm impressed with the Netherlands approach to the second half. They're playing scared, try-not-to-lose soccer (sorry, futbol) right now. That's not a good idea against a team like Italy.

    Yep, they look a bit tired in the second half.

    But great goal by Van Bronckhorst! 3-0!! Woohooo!

    At least they're not subbing Ruud for more defenders. Van Persie is a quality striker.

    Also, I see pretty much Italy's entire midfield belongs to AC Milan.

    :sad:

    I'm at work, and must be watching on a delay. It's still 2-0.

    This is the most entertaining match in the tournament so far.

    Damnit, I hate Italy. :twisted:

    Wow, the Russia - Spain match was incredible. The Spanish midfield, David Villa and Fernando Torres pwned all.

    Liverpool obviously needs to buy David Villa asap.

    Russia played better than I expected. They had some bad luck though. Villa was fantastic!

    Greece was the definition of anti-football. It was so embarrassing to watch. They should have their football license taken away. Just horrible. Luckily Sweden scored twice! Ibrahimovich' goal was really sweet.

    Germany - Croatia (1-2) was a fun match. Croatia played much better than their previous match against Austria and really deserved the win. The German defense sucked and Lehmann didn't look very confident. Also, the red card was totally justified.

    Austria - Poland (0-1 at the moment). Also an entertaining match although the quality of the plays could be a bit better. At least Austria shows a lot of commitment and will to win, too bad that they have some trouble scoring since they had like 4/5 huge opportunities.

    I didn't see any of today's matches, but it doesn't sound like I missed out.

    Today's matches should be good. First there is Italy - Romania and later Netherlands - France.

    The Dutchies are ready and have invaded Bern!

    Yep, they are playing way better. Their coach Donadoni changed half their team from last match against Holland. Something had to change I guess. It's definitely for the better though.

    But Romania doesn't look bad either. They already has some pretty big chances to score, especially that free kick that hit the post!

    Wow, that collision between the two Romanian players looked nasty.

    Ivica Vastic earned himself a lifetime supply of free beer with yesterday's goal v Poland. Well done, sir.

    VIENNA, June 10 (Reuters) - A Vienna brewery is promising a lifelong supply of free beer to any Austria player who scores a goal for the co-hosts in their remaining Euro 2008 group matches against Poland and Germany.

    Yeah, I was all "Ouch! That's gotta hurt" until the third Romanian tripped and fell over these two, at which point I burst out laughing.:lol:

    A great game, overall. Strong pace and plenty of action. This is what football is all about.

    Very entertaining match, but the referee was all over the place and made some bad decisions. Italy was robbed from a legit goal, but hey that's football and it happens sometimes.

    Let's hope the next match will be fun! Just 45 minutes!

    ESPN's site isn't working! How are you watching it? Online? If so, what site? I'm dying here.
