Who are your favourites to win Euro 2008? I would Italy to win it but I think Germany or Spain are favourtes to do that {SMILIES_PATH}/1a.gif

[Vilius]

You named the favourites. I would add France to the list. My favourite team is Croatia because of their style of play.

[Black Urum]

People... people... please... the Champions are always the favorite. Thus Greece! This is Sparta!!!!

See you in Austria! {SMILIES_PATH}/tongue.gif

[Luke]

Probably France or Italy.

Spain always are built up but never perform.

[MarkoMilic]

Germany or Portugal...

I don`t believe that you will be so lucky again. But considering Greece road to Euro 2008 I should say that they have some chances. I did`t excpect Greece to play so well in their qualifying gruop but they proved me wrong. So we will see...

EURO 2008 starts in June 7. Opening game on Saturday - Switzerland-Czech Republic...

Big lose for Italy- Fabio Cannavaro was injured

So who will win EURO 2008? VOTE {SMILIES_PATH}/smile.gif

[LeBron]

I'd be surprised if the winner didn't come from the usual suspects, either Germany, Italy, France or Spain. It'd be nice for Spain to win it this time, but if I have to pick a winner I'll say Germany. Outside of them Croatia and Czech Republic are the dark horses. I hope Poland can do something too, because the player Marek Saganowski plays for my team Southampton.

[Black Urum]

Need I remind you the reigning champs? Greece {SMILIES_PATH}/agree.gif

[Vilius]

Topics merged. Some of you may have to vote again. Next time please check if there's no such thread with the same title {SMILIES_PATH}/wink.gif

I will be supporting Croatia. Though I doubt we will see a surprise winner this year. It will be interestig to see defending champions play {SMILIES_PATH}/smile.gif

Switzerland 0 - 1 Czech Republic
70' [0 - 1] Vaclav Sverkos

I was reading for my exam and watching the game at the same time {SMILIES_PATH}/blink.gif It will be very difficult for Switzerland to get out of their group now. They had some good chances but couldn't score.

[Vilius]

Portugal 2 - 0 Turkey
61' Pepe
90' Raul Meireles

Not much to say about the game. It was more entertaining than the first one. The better team won.

[Straight Faced]

I voted Italy because a few days ago I saw a commercial on TV, it said "When it comes to winning...The Italians are masters".

So yeah.

[Vilius]

Austria 0 - 1 Croatia
4' Luka Modric (penalty)

I was surprised by Austria to be honest. They had many opportunities to score especially in the second half.

Lukas Podolski has just scored for Germany. They lead 1-0 against Poland.

[LeBron]

Germany won 2-0. Podolski got a brace.

Today Romania play France and Italy play Holland. I'm going for a draw between Romania and France, and an Italian 2-0 win.

[Vilius]

Romania 0 - 0 France

A boring game. I was rooting for Romania.

Holland 3 - 0 Italy
26' Ruud van Nistelrooy
31' Wesley Sneijder
79' Giovanni van Bronckhorst

Great game! Who would have though that World Champions will get crushed like that. I hate Italy and I am not a fan of Holland either but I had to choose Holland to support in this game. van Nistelrooy's goal was scored from the offside because Italian defender (was it Zambrotta?) was not playing.

[AdaS234]

Netherlands and Romania will get to the playoffs {SMILIES_PATH}/wink.gif

[W#ozbutas]

Romania - France one of the worst match i`ve ever seen. I watched just the first half and then turn off the tv. Because it was a waste of time. I was very dissapointed with italy`s result but I am confident they will progress to quarters. I can only say that in taht match italy were very unlucky - so many chances and no goals. And talking about first goal, how could referee didn`t call offside. Panucci was out of the pitch but referee thought that he is playing, I can`t believe it {SMILIES_PATH}/thudown.gif Italy were shocked after that goal and then they`ve got second which made the situation very bad. {SMILIES_PATH}/butcher.gif {SMILIES_PATH}/vinsent.gif
