if the dutch have good tournament huntelaar will be a star.the best finisher since van nistlerooyif i give any tips as player of tournament / top scorer dont back them i usually put the jinx on players ... at the moment would fancy torres / ronaldo and cant remember his name striker plays for lyon to do well but you never know afer a long hard season players may lose a bit of their game ...
The best finisher since Van Nistelrooy???
Is that just to come out of Holland?
Coz if it aint, then your talking rubbish, again.
well since it was holland i was on about what do you reckon,
Who is the best finisher going into this tournament then? Huntelaar, V. Nistellrooy, Podolski, Klose, Toni, Henry, Anelka, Mutu, Nuno Gomes, Koller,?
Can't beleive you left out one of your favourites??? Torres
Or what about Benzema, Villa
your forgetting the small matter of torres,and when your talking bout finishers raul has to be one of the all time greats.and is laarson still playing with the swedes another clinical finisher
Didn't mention Torres on purpose lads. Wanted to see if a United man would bring him up.. And low and behold abbeyvale, you did. My question answered
On another thread they are discussing the French squad and who might be left out. They have incredible options at the moment, but my 11 would be :
1
Coupet
2 3
Sagna Clichy
4 5
Thuram Gallas
6
Viera
7 11
Ribery Nasri
8
Benzema
9 10
Anelka Henry

I think Abidal (Barca) & Makalele (Chel) are def starters, and maybe Mexes (Roma) & Toulalon (Lyon)
Mexes?? Not likely. Abidal will start alright, but the 11 I named would be something to watch. Can't see them being so attacking though. Pity. Nobody really just goes for it in football these days. Too defensive.
lads is that guy dorhasoo [think thats how you spell it]not around the french squad anymore.i saw him against ireland bout 2 years ago in lansdowne and he was awesome

From Uefa.com.
Germany's Bernd Schneider will definitely miss Germany's UEFA EURO 2008™ campaign after undergoing surgery on a herniated disc in his back last week.
Absence confirmed
The Bayer 04 Leverkusen midfielder was originally rated as doubtful for the tournament after the operation in Hanover on 25 April. Today, however, Germany coach Joachim Löw received final confirmation of the 34-year-old's unavailability, when he was informed that Schneider has been told not to resume training for the foreseeable future.

From uefa.com
Luka Modrić has earned comparisons with Johan Cruyff
The reasons why Tottenham Hotspur FC were in such a hurry to spend €21m on Croatia midfielder Luka Modrić will become clear at UEFA EURO 2008™. That is the message from Modrić's national-team coach Slaven Bilić who has no doubts about the quality of the 22-year-old from NK Dinamo Zagreb.
Cruyff comparison
Modrić and company also helped to eliminate England from the EURO, so Tottenham Hotspur fans will not be completely incredulous of the comparisons their recruit has earned with both Lionel Messi and Johan Cruyff. Increasingly, he has been likened to Cruyff, whom he resembles both in frame – being of slim build – and in speed, agility and creativity, as master of the pinpoint pass. And if Modrić could become NK Zrinjski's star player in the Bosnia-Herzegovnian top flight as an 18-year-old loanee in 2003/04, Bilić will be expecting a similar impact from his protégé in north London and beyond.
High praise for new Spurs recruit.
