In fact, a friend of mine did the calculations, and I just posted them I've checked and looked OK. Pls comment if there is a mistake though.
Oded, if Portugal draws Spain, and Greece loses to Russia by big margin (which is highly unlikely) GD would be in Portugal's favour. edited: my mistake, Greece would've gone through anyway...too much counting makes me go spineyes....:LOL:

watching the Czech-Holland game I can't believe how on one hand he moves brilliantly up the field and contributes massively to his team and on the other how he dives at every opportunity he gets. The Holland player received a second yellow and as a result a RED CARD for a supposed tackle on Nedved when the replay CLEARLY demonstrated he did not even TOUCH Nedved. This is not new for Nedved as he has this habit of diving every time he senses a player around him. DISGUSTING. His brilliance is over-shadowed by this unsportsmanlike display and CHEAP strategy. SHAMEFUL.
Yep, he was good. I was pleased to see he didn't lose balls all the time like I've gotten used to expect from him, he was sharp and right on the money.

Pavel Shitved is a worse diver than Ruud van Horseface, but looks like the referee Gonzalez is a relative of Stevie Wonder, he whistled for everything, but pretty much ruïned the game for Holland....i hate ****ing Nedved
fuck off. Nedved is twice the player as anyone on the holland side tonite. Accept your loss with a bit of dignity, i was so fvcking embaressed when italy lost to korea, but i didnt say a thing. We should have made clearer cut chances. Accept the loss with dignity, the czechs were alot better. nedved did not dive, there was contact.
Holland still have the chance to advance, after contributing to such a beautiful game last night, it would be a huge shame if they didn't progress to the next round.
he's been doing it for juve and for the czech republic for the longest time already,we all know that.no use trying to deny it.our neddy's as much a diver as anyone on the team.

I think that's a bit harsh, I don't the he dived so Heitinga would get the yellow, he was running fast and a tackle could have been dangerous so he fell easily. IMO that wasn't a bad dive at all.
Apart from that the match was fantastic. It's a shame if Holland doesn't go through as they deserve it, the Czechs need to do them a favour now.
I agree with you Torks. I'd say he "made a meal out of it" but it was hardly a particularly bad dive by any stretch, plus he'd been cruelly fouled twice already and I wouldn't blame him if he was getting a tad pissed off with the dutch defending and decided to dive!
As for the match, that was probably the best match I have ever seen, eclipsing even the 4-3 Spain win over Yougoslavia at Euro 2000 and maybe even the second half of Inter Roma the season before last, ending 3-3. Truly awesome to behold
