What’s on tonight?
The last four days days of the group stage go to four games per day instead of the previous two.
Germany seem to be pulling it together at just about the right time. They’ll go into the second round at the top of Group A, playing Sweden who came second in Group B.
England will play Ecaudor in the other second round match in five days. England played their best game so far against Sweden, but still were a little disappointing, not being able to hold the Swedes out. Michael Owen twisted his knee badly within two minutes of the opening kickoff which was pretty unfortunate – for him and England.
Not that my second-round predictions should be entirely difficult, but I’ve picked the winners and runners-up for Groups A and B correctly so far. We’ll see how we go tonight with Groups C and D.
