Who will you be supporting in the Euros?

**L37Ultra** · 15/02/2008, 9:45 PM

England.. Oh wait no..

. I will be backing Spain as I think they are over due a good performance in a major tournament.

**feo123** · 15/02/2008, 9:57 PM

nobody in particular, just hope its a good tournament, portugal could do well, as could holland, dont think france will be strong enough, spain will be their usual dissapointing selves imo

The Euros are usually fantastic. Far superior to the World Cup. The last one was probably the poorest since 1980. All great tournos in between with 1984 and 2000 the best. And France won both.....

Always Always Argentina

Failing that, France, then Spain.

Every two years bookies plan their holidays based on that statement

Spain as usual.

Whichever team has the least divers.

Russia

I'm going to go for Austria as I pity them. When your own fans want you pulled out of a tournament, you know it's not good.

**shakermaker1982** · 16/02/2008, 11:25 AM

I have a weak spot for Portugal and Holland. I'd like to see Croatia do well because they try and play good football - Modric is a gem of a player. Should be an exciting tournamanent and very open.

I think Spain are the best team on paper by far.

Has Ricardo retired from internationals because I think he has been very good for them over the years. Even then surely they could fall back on Vitor Baia, whatever age he is now.

He isn't having a great season for Betis... Portugal have never been blessed for keepers anyway. Baia couldn't catch a cold...

.
Portugal weren't too clever in qualifying either.

**ramsfan** · 16/02/2008, 4:10 PM

will be supporting whoever i get in the buster at work, pity england arent there as you love to see them go into tournament and believe they have define right too win it and then they get humiliated it just makes a summer

**SkStu** · 16/02/2008, 6:03 PM

Croatia - they play lovely footie. And my fiance is Croatian and her family is a bit mental. So i have to or they'll kill me.

**green army** · 16/02/2008, 7:58 PM

Some upsets would be nice.

I can't believe the amount of people I've come across labeling Switzerland in the same bracket as Austria, and here being called a joke!

I got them at great odds to make the final before the group draw (odds not as genorous now because they have a decent enough group). I think they'll have a good tournament and surprise a lot of people.

I'm going over to watch all of Frances group games with a french mate of mine - and hopefully a few more games. I'd like themselves or Portugal to win it. I spent the whole summer of Euro '04 working at the tournament and made many portuguese friends. It would have been the party to end all parties had they won that tournament

**Hibs4Ever** · 17/02/2008, 9:16 AM

Czech Republic

**AustinoAsprilla** · 17/02/2008, 3:05 PM

Germany and Czech Rep for the final. So we all feel better that we were knocked out by the 2 best teams in Europe... Then we can get back Stan as it proves we were the third best team in Europe under him...

**Stevo Da Gull** · 17/02/2008, 4:50 PM

Holland as usual, they've been my `go to` team in World Cups and Euros for as long as I can recall.

**Cymro** · 17/02/2008, 6:50 PM

No team really stands out at the moment. I'd go for Spain on the basis that they have a lot of players on form at the moment (Fabregas, Villa etc). I know they always choke, but the law of averages has to come into play one of these tournaments and see them do at least moderately well.

The Germans and Italians are also decent bets and will probably at least make the semi-finals. I can't see either host getting beyond the quarter-finals but will be happy to be proven wrong as it's always good to see the hosts do well.

As for other tips, maybe France and Portugal, though honestly I think the Portuguese will rely too much on Ronaldo.

I don't really have any preference as to who wins just hoping for a good tournament.
