Denmark is sadly(?) not in the tournament - but that's OK. Then the al channels aren't saturated with football. Sadly I can't say the same about the olympics. Three weeks of non-stop "sports". Thankfully it's on the other side of the world, so little of it'll be live.

However, I am an Arsenal fan but can't commit. Yes the french connection but it's a lot weaker now Henry, Pires, Wiltord, Viera et al have moved.

Feeling totally impartial I'd resort to Holland for the hope of reviving total football and perversely Portugal as Ronaldo probably deserves to be in most finals. If I'm going to be loyal to any Arsenal players it's Cesc, even though he's a sub!

So Holland, Portugal, Spain - in no order.

France sucks. Ribery is cool - but he's no Platini.

I'm surprised to hear such harsh words from a Roligan   Then again criticizing is always easy...fun too!  By the way, where did Liverpool come in at the end of the season?

And Wrighty, I'm surprised to hear you even list Portugual...after what they have done to England in the last two major international tournaments.  I can still see Sol Campbell's disallowed goal in my head as clear as day.

He's just too good and remember what he did to Rooney (a teammate!) and Beckham if I remember Wrightly.
Yes Wrighty Portugal have to be off the list.
But at least they can't beat us this time

I am a Man Utd fan who cannot decide whether or not to support the Portugal contingent. It seems like Ronaldo may go off to richer pastures at the end of Euro 2008.

Status: offline 		Like my wine, if England aren't in it I like the best! So no problems with appreciating [some of] the best - Ronaldo (seems like a Pavie!)

Only two left from my choice; Spain and Holland. Typical to see Germany quality come through (Riesling - always under appreciated).

Will it be an all wine final or wine vs. beer, or even beer vs. beer? Where would Germany sit in beer vs. wine? Think their beers hit a better level generally than the wine. They're also responsible for Tsing Tsao. The local brew!

Just checked my facts and I may be a bit premature but our patience will be rewarded with the inevitable.

Gotta ask Serge if he is supporting Russia. If he is, they might get my sympathy...

Status: offline 		What a crap tournament. Turkey, Germany, Spain and Russia!!! The only team i can support on moral grounds are Spain. Russia is playing the most complete football of the bunch but I still believe Germany will take the trophy yet again. (Turkey, what a joke).

Thankfully Italy was beaten. Sad for Holland. They played beautifully.
