Do you agree? I think this was by far the most entertaining (non-England) match so far. Italy V Sweden wasn't too bad but most of the other matches have been poor, with teams playing defensively tight and games not flowing very well. Holland and the Czech Republic though both went for it and it was a delight to watch, with 35 chances on goal in the match, 5 goals, a dodgy sending off and a last few minute twist to the plot that ensured the Czech Republic were the first team through to the QFs.
great game - yes the best by far that i've seen
a lot of the games haven't been upto much but i expect things to change now as things progress
Nedvad - what a player!
i don't think that player (can't recall name) should have got sent off - hopefully we won't be on the wrong side of bad referee-ing(sp?) what about the english ref - what an idiot not giving latvia at least one penalty when two were pretty clear cut!
Yes, the most entertaining game so far.
Yes. Drama, pure skill, visually stunning and football to the end.
Let's hope it's set a trend for the rest of the tournament.

Well trust me to miss that! I quite fancied Holland to win that, but the Czechs are no mugs.
Yes that was an excellent game. I could see the Czechs going all the way. If results go to form that should face France in the semis, which I think would be fascinating.
Generally I think the games have all been a high standard, apart from Croatia - Switzerland. I'm really enjoying this tournament, hope I'm still feeling like that tomorrow evening!
I think it was one of the best games i've seen in years. Taped the replay and watched it again this morning. Excellent stuff.
Didn't see it although I've heard it was a very good game to watch.
Thought England's game last night was up there too - both sides very commited and passionate, putting their all into trying to get the win and progress.
