I just get my information from the BBC commentators and The Guardian newspaper said that they couldn't face any of them before the final
(I don't actually get the Guardian, I just Googled the statistic now and it came up with it)

The Guardian came up with this conclusion:
Croatia should be good enough to get out of their group at the expense of
Poland and Austria, although they could struggle for goals thereafter in the sad absence of Eduardo. Ditto Germany, apart from the bit about Eduardo, except that if you win Group B, as Germany easily could, you may then only have to play two from Turkey/Czech Republic/Switzerland/Portugal/Croatia to reach the final. In other words, the Germans have lucked into the easy half of the draw again. They can't possibly meet Italy, France or Holland until the final. And they are practically playing at home.

what they cant play them before the final, check out the euro website if you dont believe me.
its dont in two halfs, runner up B playes winner A, then the winner of that plays the winner of the other in there half winner B v runner up A then the winner of the winner of those two matches go into the final, where they can face the other half

That is the Euro website and it clearly shows that Germany are on the side of the draw where they won't have to play France, Italy, Netherlands or Spain before the final.

addy takes his info from british papers. I take mine from internet forums. so, we're probably both wrong, if that's possible

It definately looks like Germany have the best route to the final. Portugal are quite good at annoyingly winning though so they could do it
In any case I'd rather anyone won to Germany

define "annoyingly winning" (don't say "against England" )

Well that was my casing point, yes
Basically, they'll take it to the death and then win on penalties. Although that'll be hard against the Germans as well.

Haha Nuno Gomes played well yesterday Just unlucky that he didn't score a goal .. He had one on the crossbar ..
But okay compared to Luca Toni - well he isn't in the same "league" as him haha |

Germany - France would definitely be the geatest match to see However, I am ensure about French's skills. Looking forwards to watching them tomorrow to find out their real skills at the moment.
Edited: Addy, I think we had not seen the same match.

Well, yes
I can't wait for the Netherlands v Italy game tomorrow/today. Should be an interesting insight as to who will do well in the group and who won't.
