I bet that every soccer fan can't wait for summer... Euro 2008 is almost here and this European championship is going to be great in my eyes, I can't wait to see groupe C matches Netherlands Romania France Italy My favorite team are england, but in this cup I'm going with 3 teams France, Holland and Romania, best teams in my eyes are: Spain, France, Italy, Portugal, Germany... Top scorers will be: Luca Toni, Van Nistelrooy or Murgu. best player award will be given to Frank Ribery, because I think that France will win this one, they have good coach and experienced players that plays in best teams Any other toughts?

lol, but the Scots did well in the qualifiers. I think if they didn't lose to Georgia, they would have been in the tournament.
and Diamond, France does have a good chance to win the trophy, but not too sure about Holland and Romania. Holland always flop in major tournaments and Romania just suck. And France too can be beaten. . . just ask JGH and Tenney ;D
i think its gonna be an open tournament, and I think the winner will be a team no one expected, like Greece in 2004. . .

OMFG one time Scotland won agiasnt France and it's nto a big deal, Lithuania 1:1 with germani 0:0 with spain, 1:1 with germany and last matches against scotland ended 1:1 and 1:0 Lithuania won, so.... I'm not saying that Lithuania are vetter than Scotland in Football, but every team can win , except luxemburg and San Marino  |

Diamond, Scotland Beat France Home and Away that two matches and If Big Eck wasn't a Sh*t manager we would have get to The Euros but that Life. Plus if you want a list of shock result that the scots have had in the past 5 years I would be these just to Much but I will say that Lithuania faces Beti Votgez (That Sh*t German Manager) It a whole new Team now. also Look at Hearts, They have most of the Lithuanian International in they team and they suck.
I want France to win as us scots would have beaten the Best that Europe had to offer LOL But don't count out Greece, the Only Unbeaten Team in the qualifiers

What I learned over my 8 year experiance on football,is that you never know what's gonna happen in European Cups.The 2004 edition proved that.And Romania don't suck Sam,a team that beat Germany 1-5 at their home,isn't a fluke.True it was only a friendly,but still they did put all their best players in,so...props for them.And also France usually doesn't evolve very well in prelimination groups.They usually play a lazy,strategic football nowadays.Only World Cups and European Cups ignite them to play their well known game...

Greece has good defense, and Romania has good team, Netherlands are playing defensive, while they best players are attackers... France don't have good Gk and in penalties they will loose...

Netherlands always have an awesome team, but they always flop. They have one of the best attacking prowess, but they always flop

Netherlands don't have good defense, like Spain and France have. Spain and France don't have any problems in def, mid, or forward, both team got young and experienced substituation, all players are playing in best teams, so Spain or France will win this one!

Italy will win. Defense is the order of the day, and it showed in Euro 2004, World Cup 2006 and it will show again in euro 2008

I can see either France or Spain taking this one. France will be sore after losing out in the final of the World Cup '06 and will go all out in this one (as I expect every team to do).
Spain have, arguably, the best attack in the tournament. Torres was outstanding in his debut Premier League season with Liverpool and we all know how hard the Prem is to play in. Just look at great players such as Veron and Forlan who failed in the Prem and played well elsewhere. Spain also have Villa, who is outstanding. Fabregas is also amazing and won the PFA Young Player of the Year award in the Prem this season. They also have good keepers - Reina won his third Golden Glove Award in the Prem this season, Cassillas is one of the best in the World and Valdes is pretty good.
France also have good strikers but their midfield is where they're at their best. They have players such as Vieira to sit back and help out the defense, allowing players like Ribery to lunge forward and attack. They also have top finishers such as Henry and every single one of their players possesses great skill.
I think the top scorer will be Torres (even though Ronaldo may be the favourite). Torres is simply unstoppable. I also expect players like Babel to shine in the tournament. He's going to be a key player for Holland and with the experience he gained in the Prem and in Europe with Liverpool this term, he may be their lethal weapon. Flamini will also be a standout player after finalising his deal with AC Milan and I expect a few of Germany's younger players to impress.

But Portugal is strong to I mean attacking players like Quaresma, Cristiano Ronaldo, Maniche who has powerful shot, Hugo Almeida who is playing really well at the moment in Bremen, they got experienced goalkeeper, only minus I see in they're game is that teams who will play counter attack game, like Greece or Russia can cause problems for they're quite slow defenders
Netherlands still needs player like Jaap on the pitch, he is still one of the best players in the world in my eyes, in Milan he was awesome, he is huge, he is angry.... But I think best Player of Holland will be Robben, he is fast, creative and has accurate shot, he Shnejder, Babel will be headache for defense, not even talking about player like Van Nistelrooy, who will score and score and score
In my eyes Germany are weak, Klose, well Lahm, who else? No one really... Bastian is really overrated, they got you're starts, but I think it's not the right place for debuts and coaches won't let play to Jensen, maybe even Podolski won't be in it...
Turkey and Croatia and Romania, those teams can play, they have good leaders and they are match fit, we saw that, Croatia finished first, Romania, has good defense and Murgu on attack, but unfortunately, they are in bad group, so probably no chance for them...
OOC: Why are you not coming back Rocky?

Portugal has very good players,but the coach doesn't know how to use them.Their not very solid as a team,and that showed when they lost to Italy 3-1,when the italians didn't even try to win.This proves that even if you have the greatest footballers in the world,like Brazil,you can still lose.
