Euro 2004 predictions - first round

Hrmpf.

Just how long do we have to wait for that first goal.

You know what happens with teams that miss too many opportunities.

[Bereta_Eder]

Who's playing now?

[Bereta_Eder]

That must have been an unacceptable question.

[Monk]

I'm beginning to wonder if there's some sort of curse that means only Swedes will be able to score in this group. We need some Jönssons and Lundkvists on the team...

Bulgaria coming awfully close there, Saint Thomas doesn't look as reliable as before, but maybe a wake-up call is appropriate at this time.

*wakes up*

At last!

1-0 Denmark.

[Bereta_Eder]

:beer:

Also for history's sake and since it's very probable this will change shortly I'd like to post this classification which is the best ever for Grecia so I'll look at it and feel happy.

2-0 Denmark by Jesper Grønkjær, who lost his mother last week. That has to be important to him.

Final whistle.

Yay!

Yay indeed. Jesper gets me 4 points me thinks. I like him a lot all of a sudden!

I thought Denmark looked pretty good in the first half, a lot of great passing and running, even if they were not able to take all their chances. Second half they just tried to lock it up, dodgy tactics for a team not that great at the back, and they nearly got caught out. But Bulgaria were not even trying hard.

Yeah, it was a good last minute decision. It's heresy I know, but as I had gone with a 2-0 prediction as well I was actually relieved to see Sand's attempt bounce off the bar in the dying moment of the game.

Yeah second half was boring for the most part. Bulgarians resorted to downright hitting Danes .

[TheBirdMan]

And right now Sweden-Italy 0-1

Right, but then again, the referee was a complete @$$ and did everything in his power to let the game getting a bit out of control. The yellow-red card was a joke.
