Euro 2008

[Ren]

it's kicking off soon should something to pass the time until football season i guess. I couldn't care less who wins it as long as it ain't the Germans.
anyone actually care? :laugh2:

 

[Brandon]

Forza Italia!

 

[Dave the Sicilian]

of course my National Team...

I T A L I A​

and it is almost sure...we'll have the mighty Alex...DEL PIERO, best italian player :

Our coach must call him...

 

[Ren]

who's on your team this year?

I always kinda liked Italy when ever Norway don't qualify which is almost always

 

[thekavorka]

hell yeah. ESPN is actually showing a bunch of matches this summer.

i'll be rooting for England....oh wait :laugh2:

Usually in international matches, I root for France. The only reason was because I'm a big fan of Arsenal, and Henry was my favorite player.

But now, I think I'll root for Spain because of Fabregas.

and man, Group C is STACKED

Oh, this year we have a good team I think
Some of the world Champions will be there like Buffon (absolutely GREAT) and Cannavaro (even if too old maybe...), Gattuso, Pirlo, De Rossi and Luca Toni that made a wonderful year with Bayern Monaco, and, as I sayed, Del Piero (I hope) and Camoranesi. Then others player will be Quagliarella and Di Natale, at midfiled, Perrotta, maybe Chiellini on the Defense with Panucci and MAterazzi ( )...and few others

 

[Dave the Sicilian]

But now, I think I'll root for Spain because of Fabregas.

and man, Group C is STACKED

yyeeeah!!!! The winner will be from Group C or at least will be Spain, I think

 

[Ren]

I never trust Spain to win anything they always regardless of how good of a team they have manage to get knocked out in the first round or group stage.

Add Sweden to the list of teams i'll be sick if wins anything

 

[Ren]

kick off is tomorrow getting pretty pumped up about this now

 

[Dave the Sicilian]

We already lost one of our better pieces

 

[gazmc_06]

Portugal are the team to beat, made the final last time and now they are more experienced and have by far the best player in the world in Ronaldo.

Of course I love these tournaments having spent a lot of time in the UK and as well as thinking they will win, I want Portugal to win because of Ronaldo.

 

[Ren]

We already lost one of our better pieces

few teams have as much talent to pick from as Italy does, they'll be fine. Most of their reserves would step right in and start for most other teams in the cup with the exception of maybe France and Spain

 

[gazmc_06]

Spain are not a team, that's why they never win anything. They are the same as England, they have a team full of individuals and there is no chemistry at all.

Italy-Portugal final.

 

[Dave the Sicilian]

yes you're right but Cannavaro is our captain and the 'minister of defence'

 

[Dave the Sicilian]

Italy-Portugal final.

Hopefully

 

[Gaede]

Holland's my team, but they're never as good as they can be. Always have one of the most talented teams but never play like it. Plus we don't have Van Persie for the first game (against the Italians we need him) and Babel's out for the tourney.

I have a feeling Portugal's gonna win it. Which sucks cause I hate everything about them.

 

[ZeroClub]

Greece is the word.

 

[Ren]

awful first game got bored and turned it off after 15 min

 

[Gaede]

yeah, I stopped watching after 35 mins and went out and played soccer in the sun.
