Ok I don't usually like to single out a team as a potential champion, but after today I'm pretty sure the Dutch will win this year.

What do you people think?

Haha! Don't worry about it, that made me smile smile.gif

I have to admit, after todays games my feelings have changed a little bit. Spain struggled to break down Sweden (as do every team, it's usually England who face them and head to a bore draw), and they weren't entirely convincing. I'm amazed they left their best right winger at home - Jouquin (sp?) plays for Valencia - as they seemed to be crying out for a little pace and width. With the strikers they've got though, I still think they'll cause any side they face problems.

As for the side I put a bet on, Russia, I'm feeling slightly more confident for their chances now (not hard after the drubbing they got in the first match) and I think they may have enough to beat Sweden. May have. They'll need their main striker to be far less selfish though, I was screaming at the t.v. as he squandered chance after chance...

It's getting interesting now biggrin.gif

Russia won't qualify! If it will be a tie between Russia and Sweden Sweden will qualify. Russia have to win. And I think that the reason why Spain won was because Zlatan (the absolutely best player that Spain is afraid of) didn't play the second half of the match.
