I wonder whether the recent floods will dampen the enthusiasm?

That's two 'skin of the teeth' victories for the hosts!!

I see that there was trouble towards the end of this afternoon's Czech Republic/Croatia match.  If the pictures are corerect, they involve flares again.  How are the security folk allowing such things into the stadium?

Now, would that be the first time that 4 British Isles nations have made it through to the 2nd round of an international football tournament?  I think it would be.
