It's promising to be a bit of a revolution in european football. All the teams that came to Portugal expecting to win are out: Italy, England and Germany.

Now, realistically, I don't think Sweden can win over the Netherlands, but if they do... If Portugal meets France in the semifinals and Sweden wins over Holland...

Oh well, perhaps not so revolutionary after all. Looks like France will go home with the cup this year.

i think the Czechs look one of the best all round teams in the tournament. France have ground out results - the Netherlanders traditionally do badly in tournaments due to infighting. Portugal could do it as well. I think it's still open although the french will probably win just to annoy me.

I can't bear to watch. Sweden - Holland 0-0 in the second silver goal period.

I don't have any nails left.

France is out now, after loosing to Greece.

Perhaps it will be a revolutionary tournament after all.

OMG! Win for Holland!!!!

I didn't think they would win with penalties. (I already gave up, to be honest) But they won after all.

They weren't the better team, but I'm happy anyway .
