Euro 2004 predictions - first round

[Chemical Ollie]

I noticed a small detail in the re-runs of our five goals on morning TV. The crowd was chanting Du Gamla, Du Fria (Sweden's anthem) all over the arena in the end of the game. On the very last note of the song, Allbäck scores 5-0 and the crowd goes totally wild. Wonderful timing! What a party it must have been. I bet my buddy who was there will send me some cheering e-mails this afternoon.

Nice new avatar C.O. (is your real name Olle btw?). Two goals in 71 seconds deserve some recognition, even from me.

My predictions:
Czech republic - Latvia 3-0
Netherlands - Germany 2-1

Yes. Much better than Helmut "Birne" Kohl.

An excellent day, two games I'm looking forward to very much. I'm always looking forward to seeing the Dutch team, and little can interest me more than a game with Latvia .

The 80's right-winger avatar hype is soon becoming out of fashion again.

I wish it was Latvia - Germany to kick off with, because then I think Latvia might do something..

I absolutely guarantee you that Latvia will put up a good fight. It won't be 5-0 like yesterday (though Bulgarians looked well). Czechs won't win by more than 2 goals, and they WILL have to fight hard to win at all. I'm sure that Latvia will pleasantly surprise you.

Go Latvia!!

Prove to us all that any possible jokes in Denmark following today's match will be totally unfounded.

(Latvia in Danish = Letland; "Let" could be interpreted as "easy"; "land" being self-explanatory).

We already beat the Turks, bronze medalists of last world cup. Now we just need to beat gemrans, the silver medalists. After that, we can invite Brazil to Riga .

Latvia are 6.5 to win though...(11/2)

The draw is 3.75 (11/4)

I'll be honest, I know very little about either side except what I've caught little snatches of..

[Solver]

Well, I hope that you get an imagination of the Latvian team after this game .

Hehe, my mate and me were thinking about going to the giant-screen-live-broadcast at our campus tonight with those orange t-Shirts, but we agreed it was to much of a risk

CZE - LTV (1:1)
NED - GER (2:3)

CZE - LAT 0:1 at half time
