Who will win EURO 2008???

[mcnaulty21]

I want to ask a question.

Would alot of you view Portugal differently if we had a top class striker, is that the only thin line between people believing in us, and not?

Say we had Luca toni or Torres..hell, even Trezeguet who wasnt called for France..

Thoughts?
The biggest thing from keeping me from giving Portugal a great shot is their lack of a forward. They are a team of midfielders.

Germany got my vote, but it's a very balanced field. Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Holland are the favorites in my eyes (in that order).

Poll is worthless, you should put all 16 countries, dont underestimate anyone
2004 Grecce has poorest chances for win, and...

I agree.

[Marbur66]

Croatia, Greece, Russia and Turkey will be up for it.

Switzerland, Austria, Sweden, Romania, Poland may have moments, but ultimately, I don't think they are strong enough.
I don't think Turkey or Russia are better than Romania.

Portugal are a Luca Toni away from being a top contender. Nuno Gomes shouldnt be anywhere near their national team and Hugo Viana is a start but still not world class which they deperately need.

I think that Germany has the best chance to win it this year. i think that they have the most talent overall, but i do think that Spain will also have a very good chance of pulling it off as well

[Belgian guy]

I went with Portugal, but I'm alright with anyone but the Italians winning it all...

[everythingfootball]

I think the czech's have a good chance.

[grodada]

France :) allez les bleus

"there seem to be lots of people who think the same way you do
I honestly don't see why but I am French so I might not be completly objective here"

I've always liked a great deal of French players and found them really classy, but can't stand Domenech. The guy has absolutely no class. Some of the comments he made after (and even before) the world cup about Italy final were disgraceful. I don't take it personally though, he seems to treat some of the French players with the same lack of respect. Not even considering Trezeguet due to personal reasons, when he's having by far the best season of any French forward except Benzema for example. Nothing against the French team or their people, but I don't want to see that man achieve any success.

I'd have to say on paper Spain look to be the favorites, there's so much talent in that team. I don't want to write them off for being perennial chokers, I think it'd be good for the game if they won this tournament.

I still feel Germany is slightly overrated. They had one of the easiest qualifying groups, and even though they played well at the world cup keep in mind that it was at home. Their 2 standout players from that tournament, Klose and Podolski, along with many of their promising youngsters have taken a bit of a step back this season, especially Podolski. Ballack has recently hit his old form so that's a definite plus, but I can't see them making it past the semis though. I just think Italy, France, Spain, even Portugal are all stronger teams.

He's not in the squad this time.

[CL_2004]

Spain, and Netherlands are always choking and people continue to list them as their favourites for winning these tournaments.


FINAL FOUR: Italy, France, Germany, Portugal(same semi-finalists of the 2006 world cup)

[Lusankya]

Spain in groupstage: 10:0 goals, 9 points

Spain in QF 0:2 out vs Italy/France/Holland.
Same procedure as every year.

[Tommy10]

definitely espania... and if not.. than france or portugal:rolleyes:

[Basti Fantasti]

I support Germany and I see a lot of people see them as having a good chance. But being a supporter I am also aware of a lot of the teams problems:

1) Lahm thinks he is a better right back than left back which is simply not the case. When I have seen him play he is half the player.
2) Jansen is frequently lax on his defensive duties for Bayern and he can be a liability.
3) Lehmann is missing match practice and has looked rusty.
4) Schweinsteiger, Klose and Podolski have all had dodgy form recently.
5) I think Ballack is overrated.

I think Germany have a good overall team but all of the aforementioned troubles could undo us against quality opposition.

[Borussia]

I always wonder where all these Germany voters come from...:eek:;)

[Lusankya]

Maybe they just want Germany to win, because it's such a beautiful country. :D

[Perú FC]

i will miss luis garcia, jose antonio reyes, raul, bojan,
vicente, joaquin, fernando morientes or arteta,

Luis García, Reyes, Vicente, Joaquín and Morientes are in a poor form. Bojan renounced to play the competition.

[ECMoney]

He's not in the squad this time.

Opps, I meant Hugo Almeida...not Hugo Viana
