Yesterday as I was watching Rangers vs. Lobi match I could not help but wonder at the emptiness of the stadium and the sorry state of the pitch.

Spain with all d hype around them might not even get beyond d group stage . Aragones is still confusd on what formation and d starting 11. Remember they have meet russia and greece again and just like d last tourney,it will be tricky.
Remember russia have d 'Guus' which always lays a golden egg.in a few words, RUSSIA WILL QUALIFY.
Villa is injured,torres seems to have lost form and they struggld to break down a defensive team in USA. May GOD HELP SPAIN.

I'm tippin holland to win italy.
I hope france get dumped out.
Portugal wont do well either.
Re: European Nations Cup 2008 Discussion Thread by davidif: 2:35pm On Jun 07, 2008
France is way too stacked from head to toe that they didn't even bring some of there other star players like Trezeguet who was the second highest goal scorer in the serie A and even a resurgent Djibril Cisse.

Re: European Nations Cup 2008 Discussion Thread by Xerxes4(m): 4:57pm On Jun 07, 2008

Re: European Nations Cup 2008 Discussion Thread by dinozzo(m): 5:19pm On Jun 07, 2008
Portugal vs Turkey will be a good one to watch. Portugal has the players and performed well in the last two international events who knows might just be their year.

Meanwhile the opening game has started pretty well.
Re: European Nations Cup 2008 Discussion Thread by nazzyon(m): 5:39pm On Jun 07, 2008
I supported Czech republic for this match they seem to be the weaker side.

Petre Cech is the one saving them.

The other players are just giving away balls.
Re: European Nations Cup 2008 Discussion Thread by dinozzo(m): 5:41pm On Jun 07, 2008
Czech is not the same team like the one of 2004, no Rosicky, Baros, Nedved and others.
Re: European Nations Cup 2008 Discussion Thread by blacksta(m): 5:48pm On Jun 07, 2008
Italy and France are my team but my heart goes for france
Re: European Nations Cup 2008 Discussion Thread by blacksta(m): 5:52pm On Jun 07, 2008
Half time ressult


swiss 0 czech 0


Most glamrous player - stephen frie - who only recently came back from long time injury - has got himself ingured which equates to end of the tournament -

all the best


So far - the game has been end to end - but no finishers
Re: European Nations Cup 2008 Discussion Thread by sect(m): 5:52pm On Jun 07, 2008

Na! stop playing Wenger(smart guy) here grin
This team has Quaresma, Ronaldo and Carvalho and you're calling them the dark horses?
Could swear C.Ronaldo already has prop bets on who will score for them in the final. . .

Switzerland was my dark horse but I think I'll be going with Croatia now

Dude. . . . .Give it to Portugal.
A country with a population of 10 million peops should be commended for rubbing shoulders with European giants.
Portugal is not a balanced team. . . . . The team lacks natural strikers. . .they have got the PAULETTA problem.
