    I'm cheering for Croatia this time, and as usual I'll be supporting Netherlands.


    It's so fucking strange England is not there :eyes

    Awesome, me too. I don't like Italy either though.

    I'm supporting the Czech Republic for this one, and Sweden and Germany to a lesser degree.
    It's a shame that Rosicky isn't playing for the czechs.

    Group A sucks so hard, it's going to make for some boring matches. Switzerland vs. Czech Republic?

    I'll be supporting the Netherlands, of course. Too bad they're in a death group - they might very well not even make it to the second round.

    If they get eleminated, I'll switch to Russia :)

    Germany's chances aren't that good this time. My bets are on Italy and France.

    I think this might finally be the year Spain live up to their potential - they always have a good squad but this year it's amazing.

    I'd like to see Spain win it but, you know, it's Spain. They can't win on account of being a team of Spanish footballers.

    Italy or Germany are my picks to win it.

    Everyone's picking Italy, but they've got something of an old team, and they've lost their captain for the whole tournament.

    So, I'm picking them to get knocked out in the group stage.

    I really think Spain has what it takes this time around... at least in terms of talent. It remains to be seen whether they have the heart yet, but if they can hold it together, this could be their time. If not, I'm tempted to say Croatia could win.

    lolwut?
    I'd say our chances are pretty damn good. The team has been formed over quite some time now, they know each other. Plus, our group isn't the hardest, we have to win it in 1st place and then there's the group where many of the favorite team will knock each other out. Until the final rounds Germany has enough time to warm up and kick some ass.

    :ponder We could actually really do it this time around.

    Player by player and position by position, Spain has one of the best teams around. But they're completely clueless team-wise. Seriously, wtf.

    Anyway, we all get some hope in the start of every championship, let's see how far we do get. I hate our coach tho.

    Croatia won't win, Eduardo is a HUGE player for them, and well... we all saw his bones a few months ago.

    Aragones is just an old (really old) man with personal issues and unstable mind. That's it.

    It really pisses me off that Raul and Guti are missing this cup but oh well, as soon as we get owned by the first serious team, the fucker is going out. Del Bosque is Spain's next coach, now that's an AWESOME coach.

    You're absolutely right, at first I thought it was something surreal that I didn't understand, but soon it got just plain ridiculous.
