I'll probably be supporting Croatia. They gave England a footballing lesson in the qualifiers and it would be nice to see them do well in the tournament.
Despite England's non-involvement, I'm looking forward to Euro 2008 because I don't think there's a clear favourite and that should make it open and very interesting to follow.

Only a week to go now. I'm actually looking forward to it after ranting earlier in the tear that i wouldn't watch it.
From what i've seen, i cannot see France winning it. They are too like England. Full of a big names but never produce. Lost £50 quid on these tonight, betting against a draw and they proceeded to draw 0-0 with Paraguay.
The Dutch look the best attacking side but also look to be shocking at the back.
The Germans are doing their best to go into the competition on a bad run. 2-2 with Belarus and somehow managed to turn around a 1-0 deficit into a 2-1 tonight. Can't see them winning it.
The Czechs look the best side. Solid at the back and have goals in them. The Portugese look good too. These are the only sides i've seen recently, so cannot comment on anyone else.

I've been watching some of the highlights from previous tournaments on BBCi. England - Ireland from 1988 was on this morning. 
I reckon the winners will come from Group C - France and Italy have the best squads and unlike Spain, they tend to play for their country rather than region. Portugal and Germany should do well too but I think Croatia will, like the Arse, miss Eduardo. Spain have got to win another tournament one day though.....

Mate, the Germans always go into major tournaments on the back of a bad run. A friend of mine has a theory that it's done on purpose to put other teams off their guard...Undertaker wrote:

Clive Tyldesley really is a strange man. He's spent the whole of the first half literally salivating over Ronaldo. Apparently we'll all be keeping a closer eye on his body language at the moment. Speak for yourself, you weirdo. What with David Pleat beside him talking about threesomes, I'm feeling rather dirty. And this is only the second game.

I can't stand the ITV commentators. Peter 'Alan Partridge' Drury is even worse, in my opinion. Having said that, the BBC isn't much better. John Motson is becoming more and more like a cariacature of himself, while Mark 'not-so' Bright and Mark 'oh-so witty' Lawrenson are bland and state the bleeding obvious most of the time.Patrick Bateman wrote:Clive Tyldesley really is a strange man.

Two decent games today, though. Portugal played some delightful stuff at times.
