Safe to say the English won't be missed, well their press at least. A few of their players will be, Gerrard and Rooney, most of all.

Ha ha ha... Excellent!

**Pike B** · 17/03/2008, 2:10 PM

My own thoughts are: Group 1 Portugal, Swiss,. Group 2 Germany Croatia, Group 3 France Holl, Group 4 Spain Greece.
That would see quarters of:
Portugal - Croatia, Germany-Swiss, France-Greece, Spain-Holl.
Semi-Finals of :
Portugal-Germany, France-Holl.
Final: Germany 2-1 France.

Stay tuned as I am going to put the fixtures down as they will happen and allow people to predict the entire tournament.... Going to be a good one.

I fancy Portugal,Ronaldo is the best player in the world IMO and i dont think there will be any defenders at the tournament that will be able to stop him

**kingofkillteely** · 17/03/2008, 7:33 PM

Watch out for the swiss.... Home advantage will help.

Swiss will do well and get out of group I think, but limited after that, and a Germany quarter will see them out.
