Spain to win euro 2008?. They have had a very strong squad for several years and have always disappointed. Teams such as portugal and italy have recently been going very far in major international tournaments as well as germany.

However for the euros, i dont see anyone troubling france. They have a solid back line of thuram,gallas,abidal and evra which is probably the most watertight defence in the whole competition now that cannavaro has left a gapping hole in the azzuri defence.

Then there is the attacking quartet of samir nasri,franck ribery,karim benzema and thierry henry who will be a nightmare for any defence at euro 2008. Add makelele and mathieu flamini to the centre midfield i think france will be lifting the euro 2008 on the 29th of june.

Holland? too early for them to be serious challengers in 2008. Come 2010 world cup i think holland will be major title contenders.

will it be another first round exit as in 2004 or will aragones lead spain to the elusive silverware?

Sagna should be starting in the back four no doubt.. but he isn't. As for saying the Netherlands isn't ready, look on their attacking players (since you love your French attack so much):
Van Nistlerooy
Huntlear
Vennegor of Hasslink
Van Persie
Robben
Scnieder
Van der Vaart
Kuyt

I think that this beats the French attack considering Henry is washed up.. don't you?

I'm supporting Spain, and so far they've looked strong. Alright they've only played one game, but Russia are by no means a push over. When Spain are on an attack they always look a threat, and i think 4 goals in their first game will make other teams fear them. Their defence may not be on par with the attack, a bit of an imbalance there. But Spain are looking good to go all the way imo.
