Ukraine to the top of Group D and Sweden are pretty much cooked, having to play England and France yet.

Damnit Sweden!
Once again I underestimate the power of the host country. Sweden will have to beat both France and England. Ukraine looking good since the others drew today.

Yes, group A. Not very compelling games, unfortunately.

At least they have the potential to do so... Ireland is pretty much done after their 3-1 loss to Croatia.ohiobucks1;1196229 wrote:I just hope the Netherlands gets their act together

Decent start for the Czechs.
2-0 already, 6th minute.

Czechs need goals after getting embarrassed vs Russia and they're getting them. If they can win 3-0 or 4-0 they'll have a good chance to move through the group.

The Czechs will hold on for a 2-1 win. They stay alive and move ahead of Greece in the standings. They need Russia to win and take 7 or 9 points from the group. Then they can play for a draw versus Poland, and move through.

Yeah, even though the Czechs had to hold on they are still in pretty good shape and will, in all likelihood, control their own destiny. Greece are done.

I think these are the Group A scenarios to advance for each team:
Russia advances with a win or tie vs Greece, or a tie between Poland and Czech Republic
Czech Republic advances with a win or tie vs Poland
Poland advances with a win vs Czech Republic
Greece advances with a win vs Russia AND a tie between Poland and Czech Republic
Russia advances with a win or tie vs Greece, or a tie between Poland and Czech Republic
Czech Republic advances with a win or tie vs Poland
Poland advances with a win vs Czech Republic
Greece advances with a win vs Russia AND a tie between Poland and Czech Republic

With Czechs/Poland the earlier match on Saturday they'll know by the time they kick off if they have a shot at advancing. Should make for interesting soccer in at least the first game though, the Czechs through on only a tie and Poland needing a win.ohiobucks1;1197017 wrote:Go Greece

They normally play at the same time to prevent any bullshit. They aren't doing that?gorocks99;1197020 wrote:With Czechs/Poland the earlier match on Saturday they'll know by the time they kick off if they have a shot at advancing.
