Turkey was playing some very very spirited football in the 2nd half. Besides a brief sequence of being shaken, they were the better side by far.
one of the best matches I've seen in a while. What a comeback!

Wow....what a game!!! Of all the goalkeepers in the world, Petr Cech made a shocking error which causes the Czech Republic to be bumped from the tournament. Turkey deserve the win.....and are another one of those exciting teams to watch.
What do the bookmakers say??
Holland 3/1
Spain 3/1
Portugal 9/2
Germany 11/2
Croatia 7/1
the rest.....Turkey (16/1), Italy (18/1), France (20/1), Romania (25/1), Russia (28/1), Sweden (33/1), Austria (250/1) & Poland (350/1)

I'm liking Holland, Portugal, and Germany at this point...those Germany odds are looking good, just my opinion.
Holland has been playing phenomenal and are riding a hot keeper.

they definitely look inspired. That finish by their captain that put them up 3-2 was gorgeous...right under the crossbar.

Monday 6/16 Games
Both games today are at 2:45ET.
Poland vs. Croatia. Croatia is already guaranteed a spot in the knockout round. Poland I believe no matter what they do is knocked out. Croatia should win this game pretty easily. I don't see Poland doing a whole lot today.
My Predicition: 2-0 Croatia
Austria vs. Germany. This game has a lot of meaning. I believe whoever wins this game, moves on. If Austria wins, they will move on into the knockout round leaving Germany in 3rd place in the group and the Euro run ends. I look for this match to be pretty good. However I am not so sure about Austria being able to keep up with the Germans the full 90. Look for Germany to come away with the W.
My Prediction: 2-1 Germany

Good post! The pre-game reports are much appreciated.
To me predicting scores of international soccer games are impossible as the players are not used to playing together as much as they are at the club level. I agree with your assessment that Austria could really trouble Germany, the pre-tournament favorites. However, I would really like the Germans to go through as that would setup a great game between Portugal v Germany in the QFs.

Yeah that Free Kick was the only part of the game I watched lol. I was too hung up on the U.S. Open. But yeah that free kick was unbelievable. It was a rocket far post and goalie side which I thought was pretty ridiculous. Not sure if the keep came out a little too far since I never played goalie, but I thought it looked like he should have stayed home a little more.

France vs. Italy. This game should be a great match up and the possibility of the winner moving on into the knockouts IF the Dutch beat the Romanians today. Honestly it's hard to tell who is going to win this match. I look for it to be very close the full 90 and possibly going into ET.
France 1 - Italy 0
Netherlands vs. Romania. I think this is also going to be a pretty good match up. Romania still isn't clear into the knockout rounds so look for them to play lights out. Should be an exciting match to watch. I think the Dutch just have too much talent. However, it is said that the Dutch will field a "Weaker" team. So I look for Romania to come away with a win in this one.
Netherlands 0 - Romania 2

Big match between Italy and France about to kick-off.
I hope to see some exciting football, but I tend to think they'll both play conservative.
