Only the Croats are mate!

Wouldn't support Bulgaria now anyway, or have we signed Petrov? :laugh

Holland, as i have quite a few friends who live there and they talked me into it.

They have a strong squad qith people like Sneijder, Van der Vaart, van Nistelrooy, Robben etc. but they are they are exactly the same as Spain and England. Chokers. :laugh

It will be a good tournament this year and atleast we won't have the pressure and heartache of going out in another quarter final!

alexxturner

11-05-2008, 20:07

Won't be the same without England in it, but at least it'll save us the heartache this year:thumbsdownsmileyani

I'll be rooting for France or Holland

kate_WWFC

Don't really care as england aint in it, but will watch it dunno who i would back though, at the moment no one lol

Ronaldo

11-05-2008, 20:36

probably portugal (i assume they're in it anyway lol). good manager, good team and I just love the country. Also the united fans will be on ronaldo/nani/the guy we're apparently signing watch :)

Zaphod

11-05-2008, 20:47

Germany for me. Land of my ancestors (on my father's side). And whatever team provides some surprises. :thup

YIDDO

That's what I'm doing, supporting Spurs players in the competition, all one of them (who hasn't even properly signed yet :lol)

probably portugal (i assume they're in it anyway lol). good manager, good team and I just love the country. Also the united fans will be on ronaldo/nani/the guy we're apparently signing watch :)

Got a feeling Portugal will choke again, good squad though, surprises me how badly they often do.

Germany for me. Land of my ancestors (on my father's side). And whatever team provides some surprises. :thup

Germany have got to be the favourites for Euro 08. Is there going to be any surprises? Sure hope so!

gbnine

Why Spain jonesy?

Hey, you could support Holland. They wear the same colour as you, don't they?

Well..............nearly :thup

Don't know really. I picked them out of the first ever sweep I did, and have always kept an eye on them, every tournament they've been in since. They always underachieve but I figure they have to do well one day!

Yeah, I like the style of attacking football they play. I reckon they'll be there or there abouts near the end.

Poland and Croatia. The holy goalie plays for Poland. And Croatia played some lovely football whilst despatching England.

Black Swan

I will be rooting for the team/teams that I have a wager on.

But before investing I will go through each team, their players/injuries etc

Don't have a bet until the day before the comp starts.

If Stockport win on Monday, heaven will land in Yorkshire:thup

Zaphod

24-05-2008, 01:25

Germany have got to be the favourites for Euro 08. Is there going to be any surprises? Sure hope so!

One of the things I love most about international tournaments such as the World Cup, Euros, etc., is that there are always surprises! That and the atmosphere created by all the national pride are what set these things apart from other competitions for me. :thup

gbnine

24-05-2008, 08:26

Well if we get Gregory Coupet now then I'll be rooting for France along with Croatia.

Hey, it's starting to get exciting. :thup

I wouldn't say I'd root for France but keep a check on their scores.

Coupet is apparently likely to be reinstated as number 1 for them as well.

I still would like Croatia to win.

MFF members seem to be backing a good array of teams, lost track of who's backing who but its a good spread, me thinks.
