That was also a crazier game. It was like back and forth and back and forth between England and Portugal, eventually being settled on penalties.

Today is the big game, France VS Netherlands.

PLEASE GOD, don't let France get slaughtered 3-0. If France lose by 1 goal that would still be acceptable. But if they lose like 3-0, I think chances of recovery will be very hard, because Italy will easily score against Romania and get 3 points.

I think Alizee should start doing her JEAM dance routine on the sidelines to distract the Dutch. Perhaps, blow a kiss or two to Mr. Sneijder to distract him while he is in the middle of one of those dangerous Dutch counter-attacks. OR perhaps distract the Dutch by screaming, " I LOVE YOU, SNEIJDER, PERSIE, NEISTELROOY,", depending, of course, on which one of them is about to take a shot. She should do this, you know, take one for her country.

I know sure as hell I won't able to concentrate if Alizee was screaming like that.

Italy 0-0 Romania. Italy will easily score a goal, probably two. There is no way in hell can Romania stop all those Italian attacks.

Italy 1-1 Romania

France needs to win one of their next games to advance.

Holland 1-0 France 19' right now.

Halftime message:

It'll be hard watching my favorite goalkeeper face off against one of my favorite striker/wingers.

Holland vs. France, Oh my!

The ball walks into the goal and gifts the Oranje a second goal

Shortly after a no-call handball in the penalty area, at that.

The Netherlands are on cruise control for victory, I am both thrilled and upset to say...

[Fish]

2-1 ! We're still in this!

3-1 Dutch?! WTF?!
