With Euro's a few days away, who are your tips to win the Euro?

Will Spain's reputation as underachievers end? maybe IMO

I'm tipping the Germans to win.

 

[Aplus]

I'm going for France.

 

[Nasonex]

Cannavaro is out, major blow for the Azzuri

 

[blakegman]

Hope Spain win but they won't. under achievers.

France should win if they find form. Best squad.

Though i reckon Czech or Russia could be the darkhorses.

17 odd hours


c'mon Germany!!!

 

[blakegman]

Hopefully Podolski shines and Chelsea snap him up. I really rate him.

 

[Peartie]

Podolski and Schweinsteiger are 2 of Germanys good upcoming players....and I hope Chelsea keep their grubby little paws off them both!!! they deserve better than Chelsea any day! Bayern München all the way!!!

 

[sajad07]

Sagnol
Thuram

Yeah must be great being an A-Grade player in a B-Grade team. Bayern have no chance at the champions league and the bundesliga is a joke, there is not even a big 4 just a big 1.

 

[stazi]

im going for switzerland, because i recently made a video about them

 

[Nasonex]

Match day 1 results

Czech Republic 1 - Switzerland 0
Portugal 2 - Turkey 0

no surprises there...

 

[stazi]

The first match was a bit of a surprise. Sad to see Switzerland's captain injured and dragged off the pitch crying.

 

[RUCUT?]

Portugal!!

 

[gouge.away]

what really pisses me off is that out of all the matches about 3 are being shown on sbs, and the only one worth watching is spain v russia.

fucking setanta sports. anyone know of a way of traversing this issue? wouldn't live streaming eat up a lot of bandwidth?

dear spain, please ensure that that sexy, emo ad campaign was not in vain and at the the very least, get past the semi-finals. except france will probably merde all over everyone, including you.

that said,

vamosssssssss

 

[stazi]

myp2p.eu will ahve streams for each game

Bayern is not a B-grade team by any means. Sure they choked in the UEFA Cup, but that's just the UEFA Cup and they don't really care in the end.

Having a so called big 4 is not necessarily a good thing. In Spain there is only a big 2 but it is still one of the best leagues in the world. Currently the EPL is the best because of the amount of money in there, but these things go in cycles and it won't last forever.

And Germany is probably one of the strongest teams in this year's tournament. Many of the players in the squad are based in Germany as well. No use slacking off their league. With all the quality of the Premier League England didn't even qualify for this tournament.

 

[Peartie]

hear hear!!!

How exactly is the Bundesliga a B-Grade league?

and Bayern a B-Grade team?


That being said

take out all the foreigners from the EPL and you're left with a) not much talent and b) not as many teams.....

take out the foreigners from the Bundesliga and youre left with a helluva lot more talent still.....



Edit: Germany over Poland 2-0..... With Podolski, a Polish born striker, scoring 2 goals

and Croatia over Austria 1-0 with Modric scoring for them!
