just a few minutes from kick off.

my prediction for the opening game...

Switzerland 0 - 2 Czech Republic

But still going for Germany to win the tournament
 
If only we could get European football (soccer if you're American) on tv in the US...

It sucks with only one channel that shows any consistently. :rolleyes:

At least ESPN has Euro 2008. I'm not sure if they're showing all the games, but we're getting pretty many of them.

They are indeed showing all the matches, if you get Classic.

Oh and Allez les Bleus!
 
I think one of the two finalists will be Germany. Germany and Portugal are able to be the winnner in their group. And I think Germany wins against Portugal.

Yeah, Germany tends to beat Portugal :(

however... these tournaments tend to have the 1st of each group play against the 2nd of the other group... so in a few weeks time we should have Germany v. Czech (how do you say "phear!" in german? ;)) and Portugal v. Croatia (I hope!)
 
Since my wife is Dutch and I've lived in the Dutch city of Utrecht for nearly 5 years....I'll be cheering for the Netherlands.

Realistically I can't see them making it out of the group but you never know.

I'd imagine by next week though I'll be changing my mind when I get irritated by the extreme bias and lack of respect for other teams that the Dutch press and media have.

Still.....until then....Hup Holland Hup!

Well, group C is a painfull group with Italy, France and The Netherlands..
 
France .. obviously!:)

And with only 30% of players being English in the Premiership you can get used to choosing other countries to support in the big tournaments because you aren't ever going to go anymore!:p

The need for Joe Lewis from Peterborough in the last England squad shows that soon the England team will come from the lesser divisions. Farcical.

It's not that the talent isn't there. They just can't ever seem to put it all together when it counts.

But hey, look on the bright side, at least you can still beat the U.S. ;)
