Default Who will win Euro 2008?

Ive got Germany (the bookies favourites) and Sweden in the work sweepstake. Fancy a flutter on Portugal though as think they will take it this year.

I quite fancy Spain this time around - if they click, they'd be fairly unstoppable. I know they suffer the same as we do in big tournaments, but on paper, they've got class all over the pitch and should, at least, make it to a semi final.

Sticky Italians to go far at least, they always start off bad and play crap, but grind out results.

Spain are a good side but full of individuals, Germany are a workmanlike team, Croatia could well be the suprise, and Russia with Hiddink in charge could go far.

Always so hard to tell tbh.

Yeah I already worked it out that´d be a semi. Although Id love to see it as a final but thats not going to happen. Still, think its a good possibility either are going to be there.

Germany will win - They've got the easiest route to the final and they'll be the tournaments top goalscorers aswel.

Got Portugal in the works sweepstake so i'm quite happy with that - They played well last night

"i know they suffer the same as we do" is the interesting part. They do not shout their mouth off at every tournament making wild claims that they will win it. Also they have at least 5 or 6 world class players, England do not.

Oh, Germany to win it.

The clogs did brilliantly tonight. If they can sustain that sort of performance throughout the competition, you've got to fancy them.

Maybe still worth a punt on France. they were rubbish first game of the last WC but they have talent in the squad to win it.

I have France in the sweep, they looked woeful, no different to the last WC, cant see them doing it myself, Portugal looked very sloppy at the back at times yesterday, shoved a few more ££ on Spain, never discount that German lot though.

Awesome result against the frogs. The Dutch are on fire and the country is celebrating like they've won it already!

Hats off to Netherlands - awesome display last night. Thats how football should be played - none of this playing to the whistle dribbling into the corner flag. All out attack attack and taking the world champions and runners up on and drilling them with some spectacular goals.

Robben looked unbeatable with his pace. That solo goal was just insane to score over the keepers head from so close. Everyone seems to like them as well - they must be the brazil of the euro's

Turkey or Russia could be a good underdog shout like Greece 4 years ago. Turks have had so much luck but Russia could cause an upset today

The russians were different gravy against Sweden the other night, they're getting stronger as each game passes, I think tonights game will be closer than a lot of people expect, like I said in the other thread I fancy the winner of this match to go on and win the tournament.
