I was going to start this post with some witty comment that football is a game of two halves, and then the Germans win. Well of course that got knocked into a cocked hat by van Nistelrooy's strike. So instead we'll have for Holland and England...
Frings, can only get better...
There was a big range of points this week. All the way from double figures right down to nothing at all. Many of the points came about as a result of full houses and the 1-1 draw between Holland and Germany. And sod all out of Portugal and Denmark - with the exception of our wanderer (and weekly winner) Demon Drawer.
------------
The Results:
Portugal 1-2 Greece (KARAGOUNIS, Basinas, Ronaldo)
Switzerland 0-0 Croatia (--)
England 1-2 France (LAMPARD, Zidane)
Denmark 0-0 Italy (--)
Germany 1-1 Holland (FRINGS, van Nistelrooy)

do i understand that a correct 0-0 prediction gives you the points for scorer & first scorer?

Yes we do. There have been a number of long and involved debates about the points scoring systems in this competition as it has matured. One of the longest was what to do with a nil-nil.
My feeling about it is that by predicting a nil-nil you chose no scorer, who then duly goes and doesn't score. Therefore you get both points

yes, but nobody scored for BOTH sides. so how do you determine which nobody scored first?

I get to about half a dozen games at BDTBL each season, so I pop into the Safeways just round the corner from the ground if supplies back home are running low
