Look at the players, we have arguably the best goalkeeper in the world (Petr Cech), look at what he has done for Chelsea. And most of the rest of the team play for the top teams in Europe, Liverpool, Juventus, Borusia Dortmund, Hearts(?!?!?!?). I think Czech will do really well in this competition. I think they are ranked 3rd or 4th in the world, just ahead of the USA!!!!!!!!!!!. What does that tell you about rankings? Anyway I think you will all be surprised at how well Czech will do. Over and out.

You've a lot of good points there Bat and best of luck for sure. I'd not be disappointed in the least if they won. As long as it's not England or France I'll be a happy camper

For many friends of mine, the only thing June 9 means is that there's only 2 more months until the (American) football pre-season begins. Sheesh!!!

I am supporting England - but in disguise....

No way I am shouting for England in a bar full of French - I may be breave, but I ain't stupid!

At least it looks like England can't meet France until the final.... so I don't have to be too careful...

Well, be careful!

But hope you are able to enjoy the games!

Was happy to see that Germany won today, although I think two of their goals were offside. None the less, WE WON!!!

Didn't think much of the Poland game this afternoon though, not too exciting.

Wayne Rooney has been told he can play in the World Cup if he gets a Cortisone Injection.

David Beckham responded: "If that fat tosser is having a new car, then so am I!"

Its a big mistake to let Rooney play. Are they stupid enough to believe that others won't be aiming to injure him intentionally? It's going to happen and they're complete ejits for allowing it!

That goal by Peter Crouch yesterday was the act of a CHEAT. You know how much shit would be being thrown if it was an opposing team who deliberately fouled them to score, yet he gets away with it. He's a cheating bastard.

Yah, I didn't think it was an entirely honest goal myself. But I guess that's the World Cup for you.

Hope England go all the way, but Argentina looked impressive today.

Thing is, England fans and media are always going on about Maradona and his "hand of god" incident, yet this was not much different at all really.
