If my fairy godmother is listening...

Czech Republic 4-0 Portugal. Ronaldo sent off for leaving the field for an emergency waxing of the bikini line.

Germany 0-1 Greece. If any nation needs a reason to cheer it's Greece.

Spain 0-0 France. Spain keep possession for 89 minutes but don't get out of their own six yard box. France eventually go through after the longest penalty shootout in history.

England 4-0 Italy, with enough style and panache to finally silence James Lawton's whispering campaign in the Independent to undermine Hodgson and get his mate 'Arry the job.

The reality?
Czech Republic 0-2 Portugal.
Germany 1-0 Greece.
Spain 3-1 France.
England 1-1 Italy. England lose the penalty shootout.
