The Plate Tournament

[Mumpo]

Russia v The Netherlands
Poland v Denmark
Croatia v Sweden
Ireland v Ukraine

Who wins? Do the Dutch shake off their problems and stroll through three games against technically weaker opposition? Do Russia show more of the flair they displayed in their opening game? Could Ireland finally make a mark?

Superb idea.

I have a feeling the 4 ties will all be won by the easternmost teams.

Haven't they already been bailed out by Germany?

Not much between Croatia and Sweden in terms of easterliness surely?

I'd be happy for PPV to decide who won out of that one.

Holland to continue their losing run,and Denmark are better than Poland ..

So a semi-final of Russia v Denmark

Then Croatia v Sweden goes to penalties and the Croats advance to face Ukraine in the other semi.

So for me the "Final" would be Croatia v Denmark.

With the Croats taking the pot

Croatia were a top eight side here who just got fucked by the draw. Denmark showed they can punch above their weight. The rest I would not want to sit down and watch again.

I'll go with Dale's summary. Pretty much word for word

Don't think Croatia would need penalties against Sweden. I suppose Ukraine and Poland might somehow fail to score against Ireland.

I wish Denmark were still in...
