France against Switzerland and England versus Croatia. I have no doubt that France and England will qualify.

And good news, despite news that the Czech is fielding in a second team, according to "Algemeen Dagblad and De Telegraaf Rafaël van der Vaart has called Tomás Galásek to ask (beg...) him and his Czech team-mates to please, please, please everything all they got in the Germany game. Galásek answered that the Czechs will absolutely not give the game away." (via Soccerpages)

I hope this is a start of a Dutch-Czech alliance as both teams don't like the German. For the Dutch, it's just the rivalry; for the Czech, it's Euro 1996.

1. Maybe I should be careful of what I write. Currently, Croatia is leading England by one goal. Halftime is approaching fast.

2. Well, Scholes just scored for England. 1 - 1.

3. France and England have qualified for the quarterfinal.

pp/s - wow. For Yahoo!, I am placed at number one for the search "Advocaat". And wow, look at the traffic. Unbelievable. I am also on top of the list for "fuck Advocaat" on Dutch's Altavista.
