I'm supporting Portugal!

We're definitely not 5 games in, not one game has been played yet. There were international friendlies throughout the weekend though.

Group B and D are cracker groups. Greece just beat Brazil 2-0 in a friendly so maybe they'll be the dark horse... hehe

Mexico beat Brazil 2 - 0, but take friendlies with a grain of salt I think

Poor Denmark.

Yep, friendlies don't mean anything.

I'd like to see France do well.

Oh yeah I just watched the replay recently as well. No idea why I thought it was Greece lol.

Brazil did play quite a full strength team though...

Just as long as Italy do really terribly. I'd actually be surprised if they get out of the group stage.

I don't follow football that much, but I do like watching the international matches. I'm supporting the Netherlands because they're a solid team and they don't appear to have any asshat players.

EDIT: Is it on tonight? what time?

That was pure gold. I enjoyed it greatly.

I watched the replay of Poland v. Greece last night. Feel soory for the poor Greek that picked up the red - two incorrect yellow card decisions IMO.

I know Germany has won their games, but would like to know if they struggled or dominated their matches.

Pretty hard without Setanta. I've been watching the SBS replays. Unfortunately didn't catch Spain vs. Italy - that was supposed to be a ripper. Might try and get hold of it.

1-1 Croatia v. Italy is a mad result for Croatia, much as I hate their stupid fans.

4-0 Spain v. Ireland no surprises this morning.

Unfortunately there seems to be an awful lot of bullshit going on at this Euro which is a bit of a distraction to the football.

Poland team vs. Russian individual:

Don't understand why they can't have goal line technology, when teams are getting knocked out because of poor decisions I think the small pause in the game is justified.

If any team deserved to benefit from a dodgy goal-line decision, it is England.

I'm with Pinky and fpot re Italy. Go England.

re 5 poles v 1 russian - payback's a bitch.

What I found interesting is that watching the clearance in real time, i thought it looked like he got it in time. Only when you slow it down can you see that the ball did actually go all the way over the line. I can sympathize with the ref though - the camera probably had a better angle than the ref did, and it still fooled me until i saw it in slow mo.

While this may be true it's not really fair for the other team though.

I can't believe that England game. The team played well shit on a whole, proper lucky to win it.

That goal from Rooney was a shoe in, he was terrible the whole game. I knew this would happen, they hyped Rooney so much. If Andy Carrel had been on it'd be 4-0 to England.

I hope to god they start Carroll, Walcott and Chamberlain against Italy, but you just know they wont.

Well, they sure didn't. Pretty good game to watch though, considering it was 0-0 after 120 mins.

This is next:

Spain vs. France was good. Spain always looked the likely customer but France had chances.

Looking forward to Spain vs. Portugal on SBS Wed morning, 4am. I reckon that will be a beauty.

4:45am QLD time kick off. Or you could tune in at 4:00am on SBS and listen to the dickheads there waffle on (although not as bad as the likes of phil gould).

Spain far too good. Too strong on the ball and just so patient waiting for a clear chance at goal. Awesome team.

They were still in it until they went down to 10 men. Manager fail using all your subs before the 60th minute.

They were down 2 - 0 before they went to 10 men although they did have a big slice of possession.
