Indeed, I was extremely embarrassed by the fans. Even the fanblock looked quite strange - totally different to the last big tournaments. The camera had a hard time finding some female German fans. Really strange. I don't know what happened there.

Has anyone noticed tat whenever they pan in on Jogi he is always digging for gold?

3 points. That counts. That's why the Netherlands or England only won one title so far.

Germany plain and simple. Podolski, Klose, Schwienstieger, Ozil, Nuer, Mertstacker and Gomez are some of the best in the world.

Very poor game, but result is most important at the end. And that means Germany gains three points and Portugal is going to have a bad time. Today games were rather boring, but I hope it's because of pressure and great respect to the opponents. As a fan I expect more open game next time.

It wasn't just Neuer. Hummels had stellar game and Boateng made a terrific save against Ronaldo. Khedira also had his moments. Then again these are all players that are at the back of the team. The rest did not convince in any way (Gomez' goal was a great performance, but he was absent most of the time).
I wouldn't say Portugal was quite good today. They almost tryed to keep the 0:0 up for 70 mins. They have the potential to be much better as you could see after the goal. They could have beaten Germany (as it did not play at its potential, too), but they really just gave it away.

My predictions for tonight
Spain - Italy 0 - 1 I think Italy will suprise
Ireland - Croatia 1 - 2 I think Keane will score once, but I am sure Croatia will win

Italy usually plays quite well against Spain and I'm not sure, if the Spainiards are topfit already. My guess is a draw with Italy performing slightly better performing.
Croatia might win. I would have said "without a doubt", but since they miss Olic and others, I'm not totally sure. Similar to Germany and England there seems to have been some major trouble in the preparation for the tournament.

Ye its a hard one to predict. but I think Spain is tired. (this happens when you win to much to often) Italy has been cursed and degraded in the press as a just under the top team and they will want to show the world they are still among the top. but we might idd see a draw.
I Still think Croatia will be better than Ireland, but you never know in EC all can happen.

My guesses today:
ITA-ESP 1:3
IRL-CRO 1:1
After the bets, Italy has to fail, hehe.

I'd go for Spain-Italy 2:0
and Ireland-Croatia 1:0
Really hope Spain and Ireland win :O

So guys. Another day is coming and 2 new matches aswell.
I think the day will give us two suprises. England will beat France and Ukraine will show the world, that a host can get extra power.
France - England 1-2
Sweden - Ukraine 0-2 (I hope Sweden win, but I honestly think Ukraine will)
Comment has been collapsed.
France-England: 2-1
Sweden-Ukraine: 2-0
I'm from portugal and I tought germany would win with no problems, like 7-0, but I gotta say, portugal really surprised me.They deserved to win, 2 balls hitting the bar(one even touched the goal line) is just unlucky.Portugal played a lot better than germany, but we got very, very unlucky

While it seemed that Germany wasn't able to deliver more that evening, the Portugal team seemed to play below their abilities. They definately had the best chances, but you cannot win against Germany or another European powerhouse by being passive for 70 mins and then starting to give 100% in the last 20 mins. You can argue who was the better team that match, but I really think, Portugal gave the victory away instead of being just unlucky.
Though a draw would definately have been okay.
