@All

I dont know who to support but dont know whether to support France but with Arsenal's connection i may not.

I am sorry Makalele.

I'll be backing Portugal all the way. . .

Guess why?

Because the best player on the the planet plays for them.

And that best player must NOT give excuse for non-performance.

It has to be Italy or Germany.

Holland & spain are my favourite european teams.without doubt they produce the most naturally gifted players on that continent. . .
@cesc haters
Guess what?hes bin given the no 10 jersey.
Still trying to figure out how RAUL didnt make the squad. . .

I don't think I'll be putting my money on any of the teams sha.

None of them is outstanding in my reckoning. Shows how poor
England were during the qualifiers not to qualify for this.

I go for Germany Naturally. The bayern Link runs deep.

Well i would also be on the look out for Italy- Lucatoni
and France-Ribery

I pray portugal have a dismal tourney so that Ronaldo wont win any award this year:

Player of the tournament: Ballack, Lucatoni, Ribery.

I will be rooting for the men from Switzerland.
Why?
Ok, let's take a look at this.
Senderos et al will be playing as hosts.
With the crowd backing them,Senderos and co could get all the way to the finals and win.
Just imagine, if Phillipe has a fantastic tournament, the likes of Milan,Madrid and Inter would begin to covet him,his agent would go to the press and start some 'drama', AW lets him go to the highest bidder for 7million quid(Who cares how much) and finally, Senderos quits Arsenal!!!
So that, next season, whenever the ball is being passed around by Arsenal's defence line, I can sip my drink peaacefully and also, whenever I see Toure or Gallas limping, I am rest assured that Phillipe isn't coming on!

My team is the 'oranje boys' anytime anyday
i love the french also.

But this year, PORTUGAL, PORTUGAL, PORTUGAL GO GO GO RONALDO

Ronaldo, Klass, Ribery my players  for the tourney

@HNIC
sorry, they will be out in the first round so Senderos stays
then the hyper continues
hehehehehehe

WILL GE GUNNING FOR SPAIN AND THE NETHERLANDS!

THEY'VE GOT V.GOOD SQUADS MAHN!

I concur, hombre!!!!!!
Portugal all the way with Nani, Ronaldo and Quaresma calling the shots up front.

i'LL go for austria!

Nobody believes in them but i do!
THEY'LL CAUSE AN UPSET

Most of these matches will be played in the evening around 6.00 and around 8.30,when some will be at work, does anybody please have an idea of a any website or weblink for the live telcast of matches

will NTA show the matches live?

I will be happy for Holland or Spain to win it. They deserve to

Have we wriiten off the defending champions;

Point of correction. Ronaldo may be the PLAYER OF THE YEAR fair and square but he certainly ain't the best in the world. I still say best is Ronaldinho.

Just like manager of the year don't mean best manager, just means best performane for that year only.

Germany all the way.

if its not Italy, then its gonna be France.
i pray that Ronaldo boy will pick up an injury that will last the next 3 years.

smol:

if its not Italy, then its going to be France.

AMENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN.

, to the first line.

I will be going for Portugal.They got all it takes to be the winner.

Shit.

You guys are crazy  


Why would you want the guy to pick an injury?

Euro 2008, is the medium for him to show how good he plays to every European football fan and may be the world.

italy, czech or greece

Austria!

who wants to take a beat

FORZA ITALIA

AZZURI X SEMPRE

i support france.
they really deserve a reward after their 1st round exit in kora/japan2002 2 senegal,denmark,uruguay.
then they were eliminated in d q/finals of euro2004 by greece,and finally robbed of the world cup 2006.
they ve a young promising team in ribery,benzema and the st etienne man
go 4 it le coq sportif

hi vicade,
we re likeminds concerning ronaldo picking injury,inshort he will buy injurythat will last only 4 the tournament and go immediately the after the final match.i was also thinking in that direction.so one should please form an anti-ronaldo club here.i will personally go to baba 4 a charm called otoboloko that will wound ronaldo. [i][/i]

Sorry bad belle,charms dosnt work in football.Allow the guy shine.na his turn

Manchester Uniteds' and Polands' No 2 GoalKeeper Tomasz Kuszczak was ruled out of Euro 2008 because of a back Injury.

Robin van Persie  was also ruled out of the Netherlands first match against Italy. It is said that he is still recovering from the injury which he picked up back in April.

Jakub Blaszczykowski: Winger for both Borussia Dortmund and Poland will miss the Euro 2008 because of a hamstring injury he had during training session.

You guys shouldn't leave out CROATIA, Remember,they disqualified ENGLAND from Qualifying. Thats ma Team.

Why is it that everybody including me have suddenly written off the defendinig champions: Greece
