Euro 2012 Blogger Predictions - Czech Rep. v. Poland and Greece v. Russia
Edge-of-your-seat stuff last night. Phewf!
It was a double whammy for The Footy Blog last night who correctly predicted Sweden 2 - 3 England AND Ukraine 0 - 2 France! Nice work!
So who's going to be #WrightorWrong today? Let's look at the predictions so far...
...more to be added later:
Writer Huw Rawlings thinks: "Greece will need to show the resolute defending that their 2004 Euro win was based on if they are to have any chance beating Russia."
The Footy Blog predicts Czech Rep. 0 - 1 Poland | Greece 0 - 3 Russia.
He says: "For Greece this will be there last game this tournament and I can’t see them producing anything that will be seen as a threat to Dick Advocaaat’s side."
Caught Offside predicts Czech Rep. 3 - 2 Poland | Greece 0 - 3 Russia
Holding Midfield predicts Czech Rep. 0 - 2 Poland | Greece 1 - 3 Russia
Josh says: "Greece are even worse than the Czechs and I can’t see them being able to contend with the Russian attack. Nevertheless, Russia might find it difficult to deal with their physical approach as one of the smaller, more technical teams at the tournament."
Football Friends Online's Brad Smith predicts Czech Rep. 2 - 2 Poland while Scott Balaam thinks it's going to be Greece 0 - 2 Russia. There's more predictions on their website so check them out too!
The Ball is Round predicts Czech Rep. 1 - 1 Poland | Greece 0 - 2 Russia
Eric Beard predicts Czech Rep. 0 - 2 Poland | Greece 1 - 3 Russia
The False 9 predicts Czech Rep. 1 - 2 Poland | Greece 0 - 3 Russia

Euro 2012 Blogger Predictions - Ukraine v. France and Sweden v. England
Wowsers - The Ball is Round has predicted both the Italy v Croatia and Netherlands v Germany game correctly - that's two in a row! But can he get it right tonight? Well done too to Football Friends Online writer Scott Balaam who accurately said Italy 1 - 1 Croatia!
So it's a big day for England - will they change their fortunes against the Swedes tonight? Some of our bloggers seem to think so. Get involved with the conversation on Twitter using the hashtag #WrightorWrong.
Here's tonight's predictions:
False 10 predicts Ukraine 1 - 4 France | Sweden 0 - 2 England
Blagul Fotboll predicts a variety of scores but their writer Andy Hudson is going for a pessimistic Sweden 2 - 1 England.
Football Friends Online’s writers’ views, as usual, are mixed - few seem too discouraged by the history of the game between England and Sweden.
Their writer Ben McAleer is expecting a positive result with Sweden 1 - 2 England, but Scott Balaam is hedging his bets on Sweden 1 - 1 England. Will history repeat itself?
For the France game writer Brad Smith says: “France should be able to capitalise on a poor Ukrainian defence enough to nick this game by the odd goal.
He predicts Ukraine 1 - 2 France.
Adding: “Both teams to score is almost a cert for me...”
False 9 goes for Ukraine 1 - 2 France, and a fairly confident prediction of Sweden 1 - 3 England:
“Sweden of course have the unpredictable genius of Ibrahimovic, who will cause problems to the English defence, but I think the time is right to end the long wait for a competitive win…”
Blokely writer James predicts Ukraine 1 - 1 France | Sweden 1-2 England
Caught Offside predicts Ukraine 2 - 1 France and that Hodgson is going to march past the Swedes with Sweden 0 - 3 England.
The Kop Times predicts Ukraine 1 - 3 France | Sweden 0 - 1 England
The Footy Blog predicts Ukraine 0 - 2 France | Sweden 2 - 3 England
Holding Midfield predicts Ukraine 1 - 2 France | Sweden 1 - 1 England
The Ball is Round predicts Ukraine 0 - 2 France | Sweden 1 - 1 England

Euro 2012 Blogger Predictions - Italy v. Croatia and Spain v. Rep. of Ireland
It's day seven of the Euro 2012 action. Thanks to all our bloggers who have got involved with #WrightorWrong so far. Shout out to Caught Offside and The Ball is Round for accurately predicting the score of Netherlands - Germany game last night. Well done! Here's what we've got tonight:
Eric Beard predicts Italy 2 - 0 Croatia | Spain 3 - 0 Rep. of Ireland
He says: "The heart says 1-1 so Ireland stay alive for Italy, but the head says 3-nil to Spain. No Irish answer to Iniesta."
False 10 predicts Italy 1 - 2 Croatia | Spain 3 - 0 Rep. of Ireland
The Kop Times predicts Italy 1 - 2 Croatia | Spain 3 - 0 Rep. of Ireland
Caught Offside predicts Italy 3 - 1 Croatia | Spain 4 - 1 Rep. of Ireland
“Balotelli to get his scoring boots on.”
The Ball is Round predicts Italy 1 - 1 Croatia | Spain 3 - 0 Rep. of Ireland
The Footy Blog predicts Italy 1 - 0 Croatia | Spain 3 - 1 Rep. of Ireland
He says: "Italy haven't beaten Croatia before but I see that changing today."
False 9 predicts Italy 2 - 1 Croatia | Spain 2 - 0 Rep. of Ireland
Holding Midfield predicts Italy 2 - 0 Croatia | Spain 3 - 0 Rep. of Ireland
Football Friends Online get together to produce a variety of predictions.
Blogger Paul Hill thinks it will be Italy 3 - 1 Croatia.
He says: "Despite beng impressive on Sunday, Croatia could consider themselves lucky that the Irish were not their normal resilient selves. The Azzuri will be a different kettle of fish and if they can get Andrea Pirlo on the ball then he will surely be able to carve open the Croat defence with the form he is in.."
But he thinks it will be Spain 2 - 0 Rep. of Ireland
