Someone posted this on FB. Thought I'd share the joy...

I finally checked it out.  Some nice pics!  I especially liked this one of Emir Bajrami:

I'm watching a replay of the Italy/Croatia match.  Claudio Marchisio is so damn hot, I can hardly stand it.

Ukraine : France  What a hoot!

The game doesn't take place at all ATM. The referee cancelled the match due to thunderstorms, lightning and torrential rain. The whole field is under water.

Many (most?) commentators have left their places. The Germans (and others, too of course) still sitting and reporting.

Some fans are partying in the ranks.

+++++++++++++++++++++

Freshly in: they'll try again at 7PM (which is an hour later)

Halftime quicky:

They game restarted without further problems an hour later. At halftime it's 0 : 0

The next game this evening (Sweden : England) is going to be delayed by 15 mins, so there won't be overlapping of the two games.

OMG!  England / Sweden are now tied 2-2!  It's not a game it's a spectacle, lol!!  And such handsome players!

Andy Carroll, Andy Carroll, Andy Carroll!

Olof Wellberg the viking!

Yeah, would like to see it. I mean, it's England!
Instead I sit in front of the computer because I stormed out in a huff after a dispute. Stupid me.

Well, Sweden is out of the running but I'm happy for England and their 3:2 win.

I could so be his bitch!

Quelle surprise!

Poland is out.
Russia is out.


Czech Republik : Poland  1 : 0

Greece : Russia  1 : 0  (!! !)


Russia, who won so clearly against the Czech Republik (4:1) lost this evening against underdog Greece. Who would have thought! I sat on the edge of my seat, crossing fingers for "my" Greeks that they'll be able to hold it. And they did.

Poland, who I believed to be the better team, lost against Czech Republik. My guess would have been the Polish and Russians getting into the next round, and Greece and Czechs going home. Now it's vice versa on both accounts.



Our girls are far ahead re our family betting system.They have 15 resp. 14 points. I am in the middle with 10 points and hubby and my youngest are behind with 6 and 5 points respectively. One of my daughters even guessed the Greeks would win over Russia.
