UEFA Euro 2008 Official Thread

I know it's still very early.. but who cares! lol..

I'd love to say Italy.. but I don't think they have the same quality they had in 2006 WC now. They clearly miss Lippi cause it seems the new manager lacks new tactical ideas. The team is aging and unless some of the youngster playing for the under 23 team such as Rossi, Giovinco ... get call ups I don't see them going on to win this time..

Portugal have Ronaldo but one man can not win games.. I saw one of their games some weeks ago apart from Ronnie the rest of the team looked pretty ordinary...

My bets are on Holland and Germany... They both have a great mixture of the young and the experienced.. could go all the way...

lol yc, a bit early but fair enough!

FRAAAAAAANCE!!

obviously gonna stick by them, but we are known to underperform! and tbh our last few games have been very shit lol.. but in our defence, our full strength havent been playin! and we have yet to unleash the young guns aka nasri and benzema.. we've got a tough group, our challenge is to get past Italy and Holland and if we beat them both.. then i think we have the capacbility to go on and win it!

If not us, then I think Spain have got a good chance; not only coz they have fabregas, who btw is a great player! lol.. but they have a strong team with torres, sergio ramos, david villa, casillas! and a fairly easy group too..

i'd say italy. france won the 98 wc then went to win the euro 00 lol

[rudeboy_1987]

seeing as england aint there i gotta go for holland!

always support them at any competition and wid players like ruud, sneijder, vaart, babel, persie and robben they have so much pace goin forward and think they will be good shouts to get far personally!

portugal might have a look in as well, but seeem prettty one man centered of course as likes of maniche, costinha and deco have not bin great dis season

should be a crackin tournament either way!

Don't forget Huntelaar & Emanuelson from Ajex.. both quality emerging players and both have been linked with Napoli for the next season! lol

I'd like to see Holland win as they never fullfill their promise with titles (at least not since the 70's). France and Portugal will also be the teams to beat and you can never write off Italy or Germany. And what about the Czech Republic? They finished top of a difficult qualifying group. I think any or these team could win it.

Yeah it's a very tough call.. Who'd have ever thought that last time it would be Greece to with the cup?!! Hopefully it will be full of exciting thrillers.. Kinda like the ICC WC 2007 LMAO!
