euro 2008

[Simon Morgan]

I think Spain or Croatia will win it.

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

one quite interesting thing is that one of france, italy and holland will be out in the first round, i certainly wouldn't bet on any of them the 'group of death' will throw the competition WIDE open

 

[Silent Bob]

i think croatia will win it they are a hard working team with ability modric krancjar top players put your money on them and a top manager

Their attack without Eduardo is not that great though. If he'd been fit they'd have been a decent dark horse.

Holland have largely been gash under Van Basten, they could easily BOTTOM of their group (Romania came above them in qualifying).

I think it'll be rather refreshing to watch the football without England being there. There are a number of sides who could win it, and a number of teams I'm really looking forward to seeing more of. I think Germany will be hard to beat, especially as playing in Austria is virtually at home for them.

so you're scottishand are referring to austria as being annexed to Germany still?

I'll wait to see what Steve McClaren has to say.
He an EXPERT on international football, don't-you-know.

[Sheebo]

oh, and the inevitable 'come on england' type song by some washed up celebrity, or a shit re-mix of a normal song

great example= from paris to berlin=from london to berlin

"and when we're thinking of roo, and all the things he can do"

jesus wept

You seem strangely PLEASED that we're not there when actually it's a travisty and will take the whole shine off the tournament for me - will watch it but won't be the same. Gutted

 

[Captain Haddock]

Have a sneaky that Spain might finally 'achieve' though my head says Germany / Italy.

Spain gets my vote!

 

[The Large One]

I'll go for Poland.

We-e-e-e-e-ll, you've got to support your LOCAL team, haven't you?

 

[Hannibal smith]

Fabregas
Torres
Iniesta
Alonso
Xavi

I'm liking Espana

Can't deny Spain have a great team but they always cock it up just like us. Thier group is a piece of piss which stops me short of laying them on betfair.

I fancy the French as long as they can get through thier group.

 

[SamSeagull]

just put a fiver on poland at 33-1

nope, not pleased, never said that

just that it'll be different without the normal getting my hopes up and having them inevitably slashed

obviously having england there adds more excitement, but as a football fan, watching good football is never a bad thing

 

[Zesh Rehman]

Croatia

BILLIC

 

[Frutos]

Fabregas
Torres
Iniesta
Alonso

I'm liking Espana

Not to mention Puyol, Casillas and Villa.

 

[Peppermint Tea]

Backed the Czechs ante-post last summer. Still fancy them but think it's a pretty open contest that could be won by any of about 6/7 teams.
I shall mainly be watching cricket this summer...

 

[NMH]

Spain.
