Title: Euro 2008. Who will it be?
Post by: XtrmeJ on June 13, 2008, 03:09:41 AM
I personally am going for Portugal to win the Championship. Cristiano Ronaldo is my idol. I'm interested if there are any other die hard futbol fans out there. What team do you want to win the championship?

We could also start small bets.  :devil

Also! Tomorrow is Italy vs Spain. Who is it gonna be? I'm going for Spain, baby.

If there is enough interest I will post before every new game. I want to hear who you want to win and why! Who's first?

I think Holland, Spain or Germany will win it. Portugal have no-one up front and will struggle against the big teams.

Ronaldo is a tit-head.

well Germany lost yesterday against Croatia (1:2)
i dont see Germany anymore at the top :(  but you know, never say never.
Croatia played real good tactics against Germany, and since my roots are from croatia
it was a win/win situation for me anyway ;)

2 Blockbuster games today!!!

18:00h Italy vs. Romania
20:45h Holland vs. France

Italy (the Worldchampion) is under pressure! after they lost the last game.
And Holland impressed me, good Football! I too see Holland in the finals.

I'M IN UEFA EURO 2008™ FEVER !!! :D

Ronaldo is a tit-head.

Tit-head he may be, but he's a tit-head at the end of a 40 goal season. I'd say that means they have someone up front.

That said, I believe he still has one big penalty miss left in him.   :D

Now that Holland have secured top place in the group, anyone else think they'll go easy on Romania thus condemning both the World Cup finalists to an early bath?

Post by: Dowding on June 13, 2008, 04:38:40 PM
Doubt it. Golden boot on offer for several players in the Dutch squad. Besides, only a Romanian win will guarantee the other two don't go through.

Well done Holland. They look fantastic going forward. Very entertaining.

Tomorrow is Sweden vs Spain and Greece vs Russia.

I am going for Spain and Greece. I really wish Spain's forward Raul was still around.

So who will it be for these games?

Holland are awesome, hope they win it.  I think they, or Germany will.

I hate watching Portugal, they sum up everything which is bad in football these days.

It was a good game.  Had Arjen Robben not scored that goal after Henry's then it could have been a match entirely.  The look on Henry's face was priceless. :D

I wonder how many dutch players will be rested versus Romania.  Hopefully romania will win, knocking out France and Italy :D

Congrats Spain i love that country.

We sucked against russia.

Well done Spain - the best team won. I don' think Germany ever did more than 'just enough' in any of their games and it would have been a travesty if they had won.

Looking forward to the World Cup qualifiers now. After Scotland drew both World Cup finalists and a quarter-finalist in the qualifiers for Euro 2008, I knew it would be tough for us. Our World Cup group should, in theory, be much easier. I'll be upset if we're not at least runners up.

Germany definitely won this competition:

Seriously, even though I'm not much of a soccer fan...WTG Spain!! :)
Title: Re: Euro 2008. Who will it be?
Post by: Bruv119 on June 30, 2008, 04:26:54 AM
well Spain won and deservedly so.

They played good attacking football (even if it was mainly counter attacking) and fabregas, villa and torres are world class players.  Will be interesting to see how far they will go in the next world cup.

Turkey and Germany both rode their luck, surprised the Dutch didnt do better against russia.

Now its something like 47 days until the new season starts.  doesnt sound so long when it is written like that  :D

by my calculations if Spain hadn't won a major tournament since 1964.  That means that in 2 years time maybe it is time for us to be winners again   ;)

Mr Capello better get his arse kicking boot out   :D

Maybe you should settle with qualifying for the finals. That would be progress...  ;)
