care to update us on this afternoons game peter?

 

[Peter Parka]

Great stuff. I like to see any team managed by a former West Ham player beat the Germans, regardless of who I've got in the sweepstake. Anyway, Germany should still go through.

 

[skyblue]

audraa's croatians beat the fancied german team 2 - 1 to take pole position in the group and virtually guarentee a place in the last 8

nat's austrians and ria's poles fought out a 1 - 1 draw with the austrians equalising in the dieing seconds leaving both teams with a nearly impossible task to progress

 

[skyblue]

ha ha...........my dutch side absolutely hammered the french..........4 - 1

and the romanians drew with the italians 1 - 1

 

[Peter Parka]

The Dutch are looking awesome!:eek

 

[skyblue]

[skyblue]

so........after 2 games 4 sides are mathematically certain to progress to the knock-out phase..........they being my holland side ,veronica's spanish,davidsgirls portuguese and audraa's surprise package the croations,well not so much a surprise if your english.......they stopped us qualifying

 

[skyblue]

a shock 2 - 0 win for the swiss against portugal
