Well thats Group B sorted.
No surprise that Germany going through winning all their games and Portugal as runners up.
I watched the Portugal / Netherlands game.
Although the Netherlands scored first they soon caved in and just didn't play as a team, they lost 2 - 1.
Ronaldo at last found his club form for his country and played well scoring both goals.
I was so surprised that the Netherlands just gave up even though they needed to win by 2 goals for any hope of qualifying.
Van Persie hasn't found his club form, Robben had a quiet game.
At the start of the tournament who would have thought the Netherlands "Nil Point"

Just looking forward to Tuesday evening, England / Sweden, get Rooney back and at his best.

Yes looking forward to Tuesday, win, draw or loose it should be a good match.  But I must admit I cant seem to get why as soon as the follically challenged comb over scouser has his ban ended he is automatically back in the team at the expense of one of the two goal scorers from the Sweden match?

If my memory serves me well, the last 8 competitive matches in Euro /World finals he has played for England he has been sent off twice, booked 4 times and not scored a goal.  His last but one competitive match in a final competition he thought that much of the England fans he abused them to the camera.  And lest we forget the reason he was banned was because he spat his dummy out and kicked an opponent from behind.   Yet we seem to think now he can play he must because he must score.  Based on his averages he wont score but will be either booked or sent off.  

Frankly if Rooney was missing from the team sheet I wont be as bothered as much as I am about Walcott now being out injured.

Got to agree Mike - when Rooney can replicate his club form when he plays for England - then he should be an automatic choice,
But he has to prove himself and more importantly his temperament before he is picked

Predictable when it got to penalties.  No sporting happiness for England again.  Still Wimbledon next.  An an early Murray exit will bring the smiles back hopefully.

 well the lions didnt growl,didnt even "miaoww" even though for all but 15 minutes they played like pussy cats. dont they know that round thing is called a ball,and they have to actually get it onto their boots and give it to someone wearing the same colour shirt,if they cant manage to shoot it at that net thing at the end of the pitch.going back a number of years we were a load of "world cup wallies" again.

No I didn't watch it, but to end up drawn after extra time in the 1/4 finals is at least an honourable (if unfortunate) finale.  With Gernany's current form we would likely to have been hammered embarassingly had we made the semi's.

I WATCHED THE GAME FROM THE EDGE OF MY SEAT.I MUST SAY ROONEY IS ONE OF THE LAZIEST PLAYERS I HAVE EVER WATCHED PLAY.How do you expect to win a game if all you can do is defend. I expected a lot more from a bunch of over payed athletes. I was pulling for England but they lacked effort & skill & had great trouble making 2 complete passes in a row. It will be Spain & Germany in the final & will depend on the ref,if he calls a good game Spain will win. Mick B.

Very dissapointed, but thought they did well. Italy are a much better team of that there is no doubt.

You thought they did well,....methinks you must have Rose Tinted Specs, they were battered for most of the match,but they defended well, and only had 2 shots on goal, and had they won on penalties...it would have been the greatest bit of highway robbery, ever,....but they did,nt,and thats all the matters,

We went into this with low expectations and exceeded them so fairly happy.
Some of our younger players do seem to have a good future ahead if they can fulfill their promise.
I wasn't keen on Carroll till these games but he plays a good old English No9.
I am glad we didn't get through as:
Italy were the better team but couldn't beat us in free play.
Would hate to think what playing the Germans would have been like, they have won ALL their matches in the competition so far.
I will watch Germany / Italy on Thursday then the Final, possibly Spain / Portugal too.

Hi guys, we all missed the note from Martin that he is quiting model boat building. Martin you can't be serious, the world of model boat building will never be the same if that happens, say it is not true please & you never answered my email on the Smit Nederland, do I have a tug or not ?. Mick B. PS = Guys put lots of pressure on Martin to continue his building, even buy him some kits that he can't resist building if necessary, just don't let him quit.Lets have a big push to stop this foolish thinking.
