Host Switzerland will of course be the first to leave.
I feel bad for the coach whose wife was admitted to the hospital with life threatening brain hemorrhages just before the tournament started, and now his team is the first to leave.
I am rooting for the Netherlands and Germany, btw.

Portugal looked great, though the Czech Rep. got a lot of good looks at goal. I don't know, but I have a feeling that the Czechs may have trouble (or even be beaten by Turkey). Portugal beat the Czechs more handily than the Turks, and the Turks scored 2 on the Swiss while the Czechs really struggled against the Swiss. I think that Turkey might be the 2nd best side in group A.

Question -
What is teh tiebreaking procedure for the groups? The Czechs and the Turks are currently knotted on results (1-0-1), GD (-1), GF (2), and GA (3). If they tie, who will advance?
Clearly this can be avoided by one team taking the initative and winning, but still...

It's unclear, but most people after reading the UEFA rule book are saying that a new rule means that the match will have to be decided by penalties ie: no tie game for that particular match.
Though some have interpreted the rulebook to say that it would go clear back to the World Cup and each team's record since then.
Since the Czechs have been reported to be focusing on penalties in practice since wednesday, I think it will be penalties if the match is tied at the end of extra time.
But I still think that the Turks will win the match anyway!

It will go to penalties if the scores are level after 90 minutes Official answer from Euro 2008 website
I'm going for the Dutch to beat France 2-0.
Also really hoping Romania beat Italy and dump the World Champions out.
You guys and your common sense "let's look it up" skills are so entertaining. And leave me feeling silly.
But, thanks for the clarification. I should have figured that penalties would be the best solution, but clearly didn't think about it.
Anyway, I have to agree with both of your predictions - but I think 2-1 is very possible if the Dutch get too greedy.
very entertaining game between italy and rumania.
great performance by both keepers.
too bad about the atrocious decisions by the rumanian referee

The Italians turned out to be happy with a draw, thanks to a late penalty save by Buffon. Thanks Romania!. Now it's time for lez Bleus to show up against the Oranje.
The referee was Norwegian.
I'm looking forward to the next game in about 15 minutes. France v. Holland, should be a real corker, fingers crossed.
Yes. As stated on the BBC; seven goals, only one conceded, and two victories against the last World Cup finalists. Looking good for Oranje.
not imploding surly though jest the dutch team has had a hand in it in fumbeling the ball in the finals
from the sound outside though we just beat france

the bloody noise outside is also atrocious
