Well, Wolfgang that is another way to look at it. I didn't get any predictions in for the England v Croatia or France v switzerland games. I was too busy today. It was an interesting game the England game. They played well in spurts with Scoles and Lampard doing what they should. However I think they may struggle to create against some of the bigger names. Rooney is a handful but he pretty much created his goals without much build up play well the second one anyway. He does well running at players from deep. He isn't your typical back to the goal type of striker. That's where he and Owen are similer but I think he outshines Owen.

France weren't at their best either and had trouble at times trying to break the Swiss down. I think they were deploying Henry in the wrong position for much of the game. He too is a player who likes to run at people although he tends to drift in from the wing and cut into the middle much like he did for the third goal. I don't think you knock long high balls to Henry and expect him to cope well.

So Italy v Bulgaria and Sweden v Denmark. The Italians need to win and score goals. I see them winning but only by 2. So Italy 2-0 Bulgaria. Sweden and Denmark will be difficult to predict. I see this as either being one of the games of the tournament or a dull stalemate. There's really only pride at play here with both teams really only needing a draw. So I'll say 1-1.
