Nice one!

 

Although were not there, I'm really looking forward to this, as usual. And about the odds, I don't know why, but France look really appealing to me, so I'm goin for them. As I said, I don't know why, maybe the fact they've won nothing for ages, and will be really up for it. Having said that, Spain and Germany ae in the same scenario, so I have no idea in all honesty. And France's group is probably the toughest as well.

 

I'll definitely join the fantasy league, I'll start it up now. icon14.gif

Nice one, I voted for Holland - dunno why since their group is the toughest, but they're a good, attacking team. Spain always underperform so perhaps they can surprise us all.

Italy, France and Holland, all have the ability to win the tournament, however the group of death in which they are confined can be so unpredictable at times. Hell, I don't even know who will go through out of the three, however whoever does get through, will have the mentality to go on and win the competition.

 

And I voted for Spain, they have under-performed in the past, but with the form some of their players finished the season with Torres, Cesc, Ramos, Raul, etc, I can see them doing well. Oh, and there group helps as well. Not exactly the hardest group for a team like Es Spania.

I’ve gone for Spain. Been saying to my friends I would go for the Spanish and although the expectations from their own country is always high and they often disappoint I just think this may be their time.

 

I’m surprised you went for Palop in goal Joey, he wont get any games being behind Casillas and Reina. But each to their own, here’s my team -

 

Daves Saints

I had to go for some current and ex saints players in Skacel, Nilsson, Svensson and Saganowski!

I voted for Netherlands, as I feel Van der Sar will lead the team there. I don't have faith in Spain anymore, they always have great squads, with killer strikers and whatnots, but always get knocked out early. I can see them qualifying with ease, then getting knocked out by some random smaller team.

You see the fantasy league thing? Do you have to give your home address for it? Also, do you have to be over 18 to join it?

 

 

however the group of death in which they are confined can be so unpredictable at times.

 

Yeah, I feel sorry for the Romanians, for some reason I like to see the little eastern European teams do well, in this case I can't see it happening.

I usually do these fantasy league things but i never ever stick to them right to the end such as making substitutions and stuff, so i'll give it a miss this time unless i change my mind, currently it's a 'meh'.

 

Gutted that England misses this competition but i shall now be supporting Spain, main reason being Torres. We has Euro 2004's top scorer with Baros, lets see if we can get this years top scorer with Torres.

I don't get the advert on British television for Euro 2008, they have the commentating from England v Croatia game and a man walking throwing a popped ball in the bin and then they say the best thing for a broken heart is Euro 2008. How the hell is watching the Euro's with no England the best thing mad.gif.

because England are sh*te just like John Motson

I guess i'll be supporting Ireland then, oh sh*t wait, they're are not in it either catspider.gif.

 

Just because England played sh*t in the qualifiers and you blurting out a comment like a kid still doesn't answer my question as to why the advert doesn't make sense.

You have been added to the league application queue, the administrator of the league will either accept or decline your request.

 

Just a message I got when I signed up for the mini league.

 

I'll be cheering for Italy of course.

 

Viva Italia

Italy has a pretty good chance. 

 

Btw, did you guys hear about the two girls who somehow sneaked into the field during Italy's training session? One of them even managed to plant a kiss on one of the players. biggrin.gif

Yes, i think Zambrotta was the lucky one biggrin.gif

I'm letting my colours run free; my vote goes to Portugal. The masses were somewhat let down by the qualifying stages, but a big part of your squad is new or unexperienced, and because Scolari quite obviously didn't wear out the main team. They won't underachieve in this Euro.

Portugal and Germany could be opponents in the quarterfinal. I hope we'll play switzerland because i think portugal is much harder to beat.

 

But lets first see if Germany survives group B. Two of our arch-enemies are in this group. Poland(won't be easy) and Austria(will be very easy i think). And then there's the Croatian team which defeated the Tommys tounge.gif

 

I'm really excited!! happy.gif

Mario Gomez really needs to leave Stuttgart. They are playing UI-Cup next season....

I think Arsenal is interested in Gomez. I'd like to see him playing for the Gunners.

 

Our offense is great (Klose, Gomez, Podolski). But our defense worries me. Lehmann only had 13 games last season, Metzelder only played 3 or 4 games for Real Madrid.

I'm looking forward to the game against Serbia on Saturday, the last friendly before the Euro.

I've decided to support Romania in Euro 2008 biggrin.gif, although they don't stand much of a chance. If they make it through the group stage, they might be able to get somewhere. IF that fails, I'll just watch the games and take no sides, although Spain and Holland are my favourites to win.

 

Also, does anyone know why Greece, the current champions, had to go through the qualifiers. I thought the winning nation got an automatic place?

I thought they changed the rules for champions, it's just the hosts that qualify automatically.

 

From what i remember Brazil still had to qualify for Germany 2006 even though the won the 2002 World Cup and France had to qualify for the Japan/Korea even though they won the '98 World Cup.

 

And France had to qualify for Euro 2004 even though they won the 2000 competition.

Well, a bit late post by me then.

 

I voted for Spain! As many others stated, it may be time for them to shine in the top scene, their national team never won a major, so this could be a great opportunity for them.

 

As for others, i predict Italy falling out in the group of death to France and Netherlands. Other teams going through could be Portugal,Czech,Russia,Poland,Croatia,Germany,

 

The top scorer,well does Huntellar play for Netherlands on EURO? If he does, i think he could shine and win it !

 

And finaly i'm not looking forward to this cup that much, mostly because i only enjoy watching World Cup qualifing and finl stage games. Cant wait for 2010, and the newest Panini sticker album,and all the qualifying fuss biggrin.gif

 

Did they make a euro 2008 sticker album ?

Why does everybody think Spain is gonna win it for. Portugal will. Although i hate sayin that cos i hate CR cos lets face it hes a big headed spotted prick (and the fact i support Liverpool has no reason why i hate him or all the other united players even the one's who play for england).

 

Spain choke in big tournaments like this like they always have done and always will do.
