LEAVE UR THOUGHTS

SORRY I WROTE PORTUGAL IN TWICE

I'd like Spain to win but no way they're gonna make it. So probably Italy...

Edit your original post and you'll be able to change Portugal to ummm say, Poland

What about other teams ?

Well, obviously I will say Croatia.

But if that doesnt happen, I will go for Holland.

They beat Croatia 3-0, what more to say?

Hopefully Italy or Holland (though it sounds less likely that the dutch boys will do it)

Portugal surely this time if we have one of our stricker in good form will definitly reach the final with a very decente chance to win it. Unfortenely thats one of our problems for a good few years: no world class stricker to put away the product of the great midfield creativity.

Italy will be hard to beat but if we meet them in the final it might just go down to penalies!

Forca Portugal!

Italy for the reason they are cheats and will win through that. 12 men will help in this tourney.


On a serious note i think France

You've also left out 8 other countries. And wrote everything in capslock.

I would have thought Greece would have taught us all a lesson...

you really need to get over that game, Italy won fair and square and are a much better side than scotland.

perhaps you might recall some of the disgraceful decisions that went against them in 2002 world cup? hardly cheated then did they.

in short, move on. you sound bitter and sad.

Bitter is harsh? Sad yes at my team get defeated by some terrible refereeing.

Why would i also want to recall 2002? Wouldnt care would i?

Take that bitter back mate, you dont know me

terrible refereeing? like the goal you scored that was offside and the legitimate goal Italy scored that got unfairly disallowed?

do yourself a favour and move on, seriously

I have moved on just like england has we croatia difference was they won fairly

as I said long ago, I think its useless to speak with this guy

Someone took the bait. Yes we got beat fairly...............

you forgot TURKIYE...
dont...

we will se you all in there...

Group A:
Cech Republic
Portugal
Switzerland
Turkey

Group B:
Austria
Croatia
Germany
Poland

Group C:
France
Italy
Netherlands
Romania

Group D:
Greece
Russia
Spain
Sweden

Quarter Finals:
#25 Winner Group A vs Runner-Up Group B
#26 Winner Group B vs Runner-Up Group A
#27 Winner Group C vs Runner-Up Group D
#28 Winner Group D vs Runner-Up Group C

Semi Finals:
#29 Winner #25 vs Winner #26
#30 Winner #27 vs Winner #28

Finals:
Winner #29 vs Winner #30


So pretty much what i got out of that was that Teams from Group A and B cant play any team from Group C or D until the finals. So we couldnt see a France v Italy final again. So Judging by tis information above i have made my predictions for this upcoming tournament.

Quarter Finals:
#25 Portugal vs Croatia 2-0
#26 Germany vs Cech Republic 3-1
#27 Italy vs Sweden 3-0
#28 Spain vs France 1-1 Spain wins on Penalties

Semi Finals
#29 Portugal vs Germany 1-2
#30 Italy vs Spain 2-3 Spain wins in Extra Time

Final:
Germany vs Spain 2-1

Winner: Germany

So I have Germany winning Euro 2008 after a fairly easy road to the Semi Final and then i think that Lahm will shut down Ronaldo which is Portugal and Klose will use his goal instints to fire them into the final where they will beat Spain 2-1.

Why Germany? You may ask. Well Nuer is brilliant to start them off at keeper. Lahm at left back is the best left back in the world imo. Mertesacker and Metzelder are very solid and very tall and very strong at the back. Freidrich, Jansen, whoever at right back its still up for grabs at the moment but they are all solid. The midfield is anchored by Frings who is very, very solid. Sweinsteiger on the right and Hitzelsperger on the left will make a good wing partnership and whip in quality balls while Ballack will just be Ballack and prove to the world how good he really is for Germany. (I think he is way better for Germany then Chelsea....) At the front we have the much experianced Klose who is lethal in-front of goal for club or country and then we have options. Gomez, brilliant, Kurayni, Powerful, Podolski wants to prove a point, 2006 World Cup best young player of the tournament. (and yes Messi was playing) They are also very close to Germany being they are Austria which is the country right under them and they all speak German.


I felt like giving a full analysis on what i think

I'm really looking forward to an Englandless Euro 2008.

I have always supported Spain as my second team (family) so that is where my allegiance will lie.

If they do get to the final then I will be off to Spain for a bit of glory hunting the days leading up to the final.

Que Viva Espana.

Isn't it obvious? Spain will never win, they have never been and will never be big match winners, just like in the world cup they were beaten fair and square against France. Yes the might thrash small teams and maybe defeat England, but they will neeever, and I mean eevver beat Italy/France/Germany in a semi - or quarter final.

Winners: Del Piero goes to Euro 2008 = ITaly
Del Piero doesn't go to Euro 08 = France (Henry)

Germany or Portugal will probably win i think, so whichever gets through their half of the draw for me. My guess is that France will make up the final.

Though i'd prefer either Spain, Germany or Holland, of the realistic candidates, to win it.

I think Spain have the best team atleast on paper anyway. Fabregas,Inietsa,Xavi,Torres,Joaquin,Vicente,J.Navas,Puyol,Capel, Raul. Scary stuff.
