Anybody here interested in the European soccer tournament? If so, any favourites or guesses as to who is going to win? I think France have the strongest team and if nothing unexpected happens they should win again. The Dutch players are going to be the winners of the biggest egos.

i've heard of this, but know like nothing about it so i'm just going to vote ireland. are they a good team?

I know about it, but couldn't care less coz THEY will probably unless WE win...

am really looking forward to this one - ireland sadly dont stand a chance, france arent the side they were four years ago - the last world cup proved that. England (patrotism aside) arent strong enough to win it - they probably have the best midfield in the competition but the forward line and defence are highly suspect. Germany dont look like they'll go too far - they had a way to easy ride in the world cup and against a stronger set of oponants will struggle. Italy look strong and always do well in major competitions - but imo i'm betting that one of czech republic or spain will walk away with the trophy...

Awai.

I'm going for Scotland......oooppppps thats right we never qualified for it AGAIN cause we're shit !
So i'll go for Croatia....nothing to do with the fact that they are in the same group as England

Dick Advocaat, the Dutch coach, should be executioned in the Amsterdam square, "De Dam", for letting the Dutch team down by substituting the left winger, Robben against the Czech Republic. This was the cause of Holland's defeat against Czech. Btw after watching the republic playing against Holland I think they are strong contenders for the trophy.

Wow, a Sw thread that has nothing to do with sex. What has the world come to?

Anyway, I'll go with Sweden.

Now don't go raising my blood pressure Pimp!! You know football is emotion. What did you say Sweden?? I think I'll go calm myself by posting something on the catwalk

I was pulling for England, but now that they are gone...
come on Holland and DutchKid...

rock on, Tikk

Yeah, I saw the picture in the sports section of Beckam laying on the ground in disgust after missing his penalty shot during the shot out. His team's gone and Portugal is in.

He'll have a liitle more trouble with his next contract.

gah i was doing sooo well with my predictions above - still think the czech's will win it now...

am still gutted by england being knocked out - but hey shit happens...

Awai.

i haven't really heard about euro 2004, until i went to china (which is where i've been for the last few weeks), and their crazy about it
i really didn't get to see a lot of the games, except part of the england vs. croatia game
and that's where i saw beckham screw up too

watchin final now... who is with me?
hope its a great match.

Kinda anticlimax in my opinion. However all the credit to the Greeks. Even spoil-sport tactics need to be mastered and the Greeks kept it up till the finals.

I saw it on a BIG screen. Got bored half way and went to play some snooker with the sis of my GF. Was much more fun. Somehow, if holland doesn't play, I'm not interested!

muhahaha - gotta say i'm pleased the greeks won, watching ronaldo cry cos he lost a football game gives a new definition to the word perspective

Awai.

My congrats to the Greeks...

kinda stale game... was hoping for a different final myself. But glad I spent the bucks on the other games. Here in the USA, I had to pay 179.00 for the whole package. So that was my big purchase this summer. You guys are lucky to see the games for free.

Was really hoping for England V. France final. - Tikk

Yeah Streetwise, I know, how odd to be in the US and follow the Footie...I love soccer the most of any sport. With Fox Sports world I am in my glory for the EPL as well. get a lot shit from my friends about being a fan...

After England and france where out, I was rooting for Czech v Holland final as well.

I thought England got robbed on the goal in the 90th min by Campbell. But without Rooney, they where going no where.

Baros is a good player, I was wondering the same about him. Where had he been all year, but lets face it... Liverpool where off the radar in the EPL all year. He had a great season before last year...

I do support Man utd. But I really like all the teams pretty equal. Its not like I live near any other supporters to worry about my health. I just enjoy the games.

Now on the MLS front, come on Metros! thats my team... LOL

rock on, Tikk
