Portugal. One of my best friends is Portuguese and I like their style of football.
Edit: Actually shouldn't this be moved to World Football? Just realised now.
Now we have an Italian as our manager in waiting, do you think us Irish should get behind the Azzurri in the European Championship finals?
Im personally going for Spain, though I wouldnt mind seeing the Italians lift the cup either!
Should we be supporting our world cup qualifying group opponents?

My concerns are global. I reject absolutely revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method, is love. I love you Sheriff Truman.
Just hoping for a decent tournament to be honest. I'd be more inclined to want to see teams fail. The two jokes that are the hosts, particularily those Hopp Schweiz bast*rds.
Some upsets would be nice.
Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!
I usually decide after the tournament starts. Tend to take a shine to some team based on the first few games, so it could be anyone really.
Probably Croatia, because they played excellent football against England, played the game the way it is meant to be played, and Slavan Bilic is a cool mofo. Would like to see Romania do well. I think Italy winning the torunament might be the best thing for us. After winning two torunaments in a row maybe they will lose their bite and suffer a hangover
Yeah, i'd follow that logic too. But anytime I start following Italy in a tournament they always seem to start diving and playacting and make me throw things at the tv, thus disliking them and shouting for the other team. They are a hard team to like. I always like ze Germans too though. And in any other match I will shout for the underdog.

Moving to World Football.
I've backed Spain and France. I know that's being very conservative but I can't choose between them. And I could afford to with my winnings on Trap.
Germany also for me!! Would love to see Anelka have an outstanding tournament too so would favour france too.

Cool Mofo's dont get fella pros sent off by diving like a girl, esp a legend like Blanc
But yeah Croatia certainly play good football
To be honest I wouldnt mind seeing Greece winning again
The Euros tend to be more entertaining than the World cup, well to me anyway, and way much more evenly balanced games
Spain and Croatia.
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
England. Oh wait...
Did you ever notice that in every painting of Adam & Eve, they have belly buttons. Think about that...take as long as you want.
" I wish to God that someone would be able to block out the voices in my head for five minutes, the voices that scream, over and over again: "Why do they come to me to die?"
My head says (in Basil Faulty lingo) "Ze Germans"... Always find it hard to look past them in any tournament. They just get the job done with no fuss.
But my heart says Spain but I fear they will choke again.:-(
Outside of that, just please god don't let France win it.

France and Italy have gone backwards from 2 years ago, Holland just don't seem to have had the players in recent years and Spain always disappoint.
If they can get a goalie sorted I think Portugal will be very hard to beat. 2-11 there is no one stronger
Meira - Andrade - Carvalho - Valente
-------------- Petit ----------------
--Ronaldo - Deco -- Maniche - Nani--
------------- Gomes ----------------

If Big Phil reckons he has better I'm sure he does, and if they can get a better line up than that, they will do well.
edit: had a quick check. Andrade and Maniche played in their last couple of qualifiers. Valente hasn't played in a while
