Dutch: Not really bothered. Thing is you get to see tehe old footage of past Championships eg 1984 France with Platini, 1988 Dutch sucess with Van Bastens goals. 1992 The unexpected Danish success etc.
He's called up a Liverpool defender with 31 first team appearances - 7 of them for Huddersfield ! I hope someone else gets injured just to see who he's going to call up next just to avoid picking Rio Ferdinand or Micah Richards.
I don't get how they can qualify Stevie G. If they win and Denmark lose, they'll be on the same points. The placings are then decided on the head-to-head records of the two countries and, as Denmark beat Holland, surely Denmark should finish above them??
But the answer is if there are 2 teams on joint points, head to head kicks in.
If Denmark lose, and Holland win, there will be 3 teams on level points, all of which have beaten each other...therefore, you can't decide it on head to head...
Denmark did beat Holland, but then Portugal beat Denmark, and Holland would have beaten Portugal...
goal difference makes it easier...but then can be beholden to a freak goal haul...whereas head to head is fairer as you can't complain when you've lost to that team

Not that much interest north of the border then! Still not got much of a history this is one I suppose.
Trying to build up some exictment for it but feel I must be worn out after the end of season we had!
Dutch: I usually enjoy the Champiosnhips once they are on . Not really that bothered if Scotland make it or not. (Just as well really !)
Gary Cahill out injured after yesterdays friendly . Broken jaw !

Surprised he never called up Ferdinand or Richards !
Richards yes but Rio? Only if JT gets hurt!
Dutch: Aye right enough !
I managed to draw England in the works euro sweep - not sure I know whether to laugh or cry....

Netehrlands v Germany tonight. I want Netherlands to win,despite having Germany as my team in sweep !
2-0 for England v Sweden tonight
3-2 to England ! Got the win correct
SR: Nah, I usually predict a boring 0-0 match and it ends up a classic 4-3
Czechs through !
Is it me, or is it utterly bonkers that Holland can still go through despite 2 abysmal defeats?
Imagine if they went on to win it!

Confused of Berkshire.....
I was pondering this today.
But the answer is if there are 2 teams on joint points, head to head kicks in.
If Denmark lose, and Holland win, there will be 3 teams on level points, all of which have beaten each other...therefore, you can't decide it on head to head...
Denmark did beat Holland, but then Portugal beat Denmark, and Holland would have beaten Portugal...
Therefore goal difference would kick in...
ahh - makes sense now - cheers Stevie
I prefer goal difference anyway....
goal difference makes it easier...but then can be beholden to a freak goal haul...whereas head to head is fairer as you can't complain when you've lost to that team
I also prefer the goal difference to decide.
As it turned out it was irrelevent.
If only Bendtner had been given a pen for Denmark.........
I'd like to have seen Croatia go through.
