It's time for the third and final set of group games

Spain v Portugal
Croatia v England
Denmark v Sweden
Holland v Latvia
Italy v Bulgaria

All predictions in by 7:45pm on Sunday, 20th June

I seem to have abandoned all chance of winning this competition at a remarkably early stage (even for me), so I don't see how an early set of predictions can hurt.

Spain 1-1 Portugal (Raul)
Croatia 1-3 England (Scholes)
Denmark 0-0 Sweden
Holland 0-1 Latvia (Latskivitskiovs, or however you spell it)
Italy 1-0 Bulgaria (Del Piero)

Croatia 0 England 2 (Beckham)

Denmark 1 Sweden 2 ( Lunberg)

Holland 3 Latvia 0 (Van Nistelrooy)

Italy 4 Bulgaria 0 (Viere)

You're not getting any extra points for predicting who's getting sent off you know. But on the other hand it does spark an idea in my mind for a future bonus points / tiebreaker competition

yeah,a good idea,,,btw,,,the Italy Bulgaria game maybe hot for bookings,if,it doesnt go the Italians way !!

Desperate measures are called for

Spain 2 v 2 Portugal - Raul
Croatia 0 v 2 England - Rooney
Denmark 0 v 1 Sweden - Larson H
Holland 1 v 0 Latvia - Makaay
Italy 2 v 0 Bulgaria - Del Pierro

Spain 1-2 Portugal(Figo)

Croatia v England 1-2 Owen
Denmark v Sweden 1-1 Ibrahimovic

Can I point out that my prediction for first scorer in Holland-Latvia in post 2 was actually intended to be the same one that Egon is aiming for in post 14.
