The tournament thus far:
Co-host Poland embarrassingly lost a 1:0 lead to the Greeks at Warsaw and settled for a 1:1 draw. Each side had a man sent off.
Russia thrashed Czech Republic by a score of 4:1
The Dutch did everything right except score goals and the vikings of Denmark plundered a 1:0 win.
Germany played true to its old school style and ground out a 1:0 win over the crafty Portuguese.
Spain and Italy played to a lackluster 1:1 draw in which Spain didn’t start any strikers (4-6-0), and Italy had few answers for Spain’s skill.
Ireland were outclassed by Croatia 1:3, but it was classless of Croatia manager Bilic to mention they outclassed Ireland in the media. The chances were there for the Irish, but Andrews was lacking in the finishing department.
France ground out a 1:1 draw with England. England is hurting from injury woes, and the fact that Rooney is on suspension because he couldn’t hold his temper in a qualifier.
Sweden took the lead over co-host Ukraine in Kyiv today 1:0 through Ibrahimovic. But Shevchenko found 2 goals left in his aging frame to spur Ukraine to a nationalist comeback winning 2:1.
Tomorrow’s Matches:
Greece v. Czech Republic
and
Poland v. Russia
Look for co-hosts Poland to pull out all the stops to defeat their political nemesis Russia. Czech Republic, humbled by Russia, will be looking to re-establish their legitimacy against Greece.
