For those of you outside Europe, Euro 2008 is an international soccer tournament.

Unfortunately England (my home nation) didn't make it into the tournament, much to the shock of the English fans and the rest of Europe. Curse you Croatia *shakes fist*. I'll be supporting Portugal as that is the team I got in a sweepstake tongue.gif. Anyone else going to be following a particular team?

Discuss results, fouls, goals etc.

I think they have a good chance. A few teams do this time in my opinion.

I would hate to see Germany win....but I think they might just do it rolleyes.gif.

I got Spain in our sweepstakes at work. tongue.gif

I'm not particularly bothered by international football even when we are playing so I won't be paying huge amounts of attention to the tournament. tongue.gif

Spain seem to be the 'nearly' team all the time. They come close but never quite pull it off. It's about time they won something tongue.gif.

If germany win it will be a shame, i would rather croatia win it......

Spain have some good stars but overall have a mostly overated squad that are running on the reputations only.

Holland are battering Italy at the moment. I thought there would be some goals in this game but it would still be pretty even....but it's looking as though Holland will get a couple more goals.

....because throughout football history they have been a pain in the arse and knocked us out of major tournaments time after time tongue.gif (usually on penalties).

Being Dutch, I would love for Holland to win Euro 2008. I was pleasantly surprised with the Holland-Italy game.Nice payback for that horrible 2006 game. And it proofed vd Sar still got it for sure. A really nice safe at a crucial moment in the game. We'll see how they do the rest of the tournament. But my hopes are definitely up. biggrin.gif

Hazard, please refrain from posting. Do you hear yourself speak?

The English will always hate the Germans and vica versa. Many a battle front have we fought, Two world wars, one world cup and countless sunbeds!!

Quick thinking by Ronaldo and Deco.

Portugal are looking more and more as if they could win the tournament.

It's still possible if they can score goals freely. They are crap at defending set pieces though....and Ricardo is looking pretty shakey in goal.

I guess anything is possible when you consider Greece won it last time and they were pathetic last night.

As long as neither of them win it I'll be happy.

Holland are playing again today I think. Looking forward to that.
