craig 5,199 Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 PS. Why should they risk their best players just to please France and Italy. They shouldn't. They are there to win a tournament and should be looking out for themselves first. If that means resting important players as they are already through then so be it. The Italians and French only have themselves to blame as neither of them could beat the Dutch or the Romanians - they dug their own hole. Further, I can guarantee that if Italy or France were in the same position as Holland then they too would rest crucial players ! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon 0 Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 When are the last games played for this group? Sure it said during the Romania game that percentage wise they were the team of the tournament that played the most attacking/forward passes. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 the last game will probably be Tuesday - it seems each group plays one day after the other - so they will play 4 days after the last game. EDIT : Yep, Tuesday 17th 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon 0 Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 I've been quite lucky, seen every game kicking off at 5 but missed 4 of the evening games due to being at work 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 919 Posted June 15, 2008 Author Share Posted June 15, 2008 Holland may look at it like they want to go through the tournament unbeaten so still may go out and try against Romania. But on the other hand they are through and cant be moved from the top spot so they should be concentrating on the next round. They have a squad of 23 and games like this are when to use the squad. France v Italy should be a good game but they will both need a favour from Holland. But I can see France v Italy being a draw which would send Romania through. I wish i had bet on my prediction at the start. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 I have as bet on teams qualifying out of the groups which is looking like a decent bet, thus far Have : Czech Republic to qualify - if they avoid defeat against Turkey today I think they go through. Croatia to qualify - already through Holland to qualify - already through Spain to win their group - already won I will be hoping for a Czech win today just to make sure of the cash - got 9/1 for that bet. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure it said during the Romania game that percentage wise they were the team of the tournament that played the most attacking/forward passes. Who? Romania? I'm sure it said they are the most negative team in terms of backwards passes. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
