Euro 2008 - Friday the 13th - Group of Death

Brrrrrrrrrrr...how ominous is today, its Friday the 13th and the most dangerous group, in the Euro 2008 football tournament, has two very critical matches. This group, the group of death, consists of 3 teams currently ranked in the top 10 teams of the world, world champions Italy, Netherlands and France.

The Dutch have been the most impressive, already thumping Italy 3-0. France has been dull, playing a very lackluster 0-0 draw with Romania. That brings us to today's fixtures, first Italy versus Romania. Must win game for Italy otherwise they are probably out and will no longer control their destiny. The second game is Netherlands versus France. Again France needs to win to remain alive. The draw between France and Romania has complicated matters but definitely made this group even more interesting...

My predictions for today ;-)
Italy wins 1-0 against Romania
1-1 draw between France and Netherlands

ps: I have a day job so don't go putting money behind these predictions :D
