This is a big game for Germany, who has really disappointed in the last game. Croatia deserved every bit of the win. It felt like the Germans in their mind, thought they already qualified for the next round. It was one of the most weakest German game I’ve witnessed since 2004.

Germany vs Austria
I still believe, if Germany decides to show up, Austria should be professionally dispatched. Germany to plunder in 2 goals.

Switzerland vs Portugal
I believe that Portugal will put out their second string, and will be hold to a draw by the hosts.

Turkey vs Czech
The way Czech played in their previous game, they will face a tough test from the Turks. I won’t be surprised if Czech’s outing ends here with a defeat.

Poland vs Croatia
England lost twice to them, and with the defeat of Germany a few days ago, Croatia, may not have plenty of goals in them, but they’re really organized, and with second round in the bag, I think they will play out for a draw.

France vs Italy
The French are rubbish. If a side like that has Anelka and Malouda in the team, they deserved to be dumped. The Italians worked really hard in the last game and based on that, I expect the Italians to bonk the French out of the tournament.

Holland vs Romania
It’s difficult to underestimate Romania, who gave 2 solid performances. Again, Holland’s progress is secured, they will put out a second string team, and Romania will go all out to win this tie. A draw is likely.

Greece vs Spain
Spain’s second string has way too much quality for the Greeks. Greece will be fleeced.

Russia vs Sweden
Russia will give the Swedes the fight of their lives, but on the whole, I think the Swedes have just about enough quality to shade this.
