^ ...all they need is a headbutt

man, I see Spain going all the way in this one.

Spain played great, absolutely great.

For Sweden - Greece, the first half Sweden has done a good game, just need too get the goalcannon lose.

Yes, I too, think that Spain will be the winner at the end.
They've always have solid teams, but they've always lacked word class players that can break through the defense and score at any moment. That's the reason they have not been able to win major tournaments during the last decades. This time however the new generation of players are all phenomenal players with fine skills: David Villa, Fernando Torres, Cesc Fabregas, and David Silva, and Sergio Ramos. all of them back by huge players like Iniesta, Xavi, Iker Casillas, Carlos Puyol, Xabi Alonso, among others.
Villa, Fabregas, and Torres will definitely prove to be a real nightmare to any team this Euro. Best proof of that is David Villa scoring 3 goals today and Fabregas the 4th.

So far the teams that seem to have the most potential to win are Spain, Netherlands, and Germany.

I think nobody is missing Raul after this game. Spain has the best team by far, specially w/ Xavi, Iniesta and Fabregas as the brains of the team. I put in my list of favorites the Czech Republic too. Although their first match against Switzerland was not great they still have time to make up for it plus I have a feeling they will get far in this competition.

Yeah, Spain is undoubtedly a strong team this time around. I hope either Spain or Netherland will make it to the final and win this year's Euro.

[R3dKnight]

yeah

Holland beat french 4 x 1

and the last goal was awesome!

[healme]

Lol, Holland did it again. Big win against a well known team and this time, V.Persie scored one. Hurray!

[jdvr10]

Holland played an amazing game. BTW Robben is the man. I wish he still were in Chelsea. His goal was definitely the best of all.

[R3dKnight]

Just to show those fools like (Clarence Seedorf)
that Marco V Barsten can do it with them
and that this win isn't just a easy fluke.

Ik zie dat er Nederlanders hier zijn!
Oranje voor het europees kampioenschap.

Robben's goal had a Van Basten feel to it. The last one was amazing too.
