2008 European Championships

[lazyitus]

OK - so with the home nations not participating, who are you going to get behind ?

I'll be picking a team to follow soon, just so it's a bit more interesting.

So, in the fashion of the Eurovision song contest, where the UK gets no votes anyway, who would you back to lift this years trophy ?

Italy for me - Forza Italia!

Unlike the Man Utd fans - I will be supporting anyone but Portugal. It's a crying shame that Ronaldo was saved from humiliation with his penalty miss.

[okgo]

I just want to see an array of amazing football.

I have voted portugal as I love Ronaldo and want him to win EVERYTHING

[lingus75]

Can we not have a really quick Civil uprising resulting in one of the participants being thrown out like Yugoslavia did in 92'?

Failing that I will be supporting whoeverproduces the first upset of the tournament.

[PaulPT7]

Portugal for me. One better than last time round. If Ronaldo continues his form I can't see anyone stopping them.

[stimmers]

Portugal for me. Lived out there for a while, been going since i was about 3. Owned a house there for 8 years and have a lot of Porto friends.

C'mon Portugal

The Azurri for me. I love everything Italian.

[Graeme_Gman]

I got a feeling it may be the Spaniards this year.

[hornetrider]

Spaniards for me - got to get behind Torres and Alonso!

not too sure about the spanish, perennial under performers

croatia look a good price for a £10 punt though

[Vee]

I'll be cheering on the French.
Should be interesting to see how they cope without the great man after so many years.

[hornet boy]

I'll be supporting Italy.

I have a feeling that Czech Republic and Russia will both do better than expected though.

If you bet £10 on every single team from Croatia down to win, and one does, you make money !

Some cracking odds in there

[Puggit]

Austria 100-1 at home...

VERY tasty odds...

[Glassman]

I'm looking forward to France v Italy

[Killer2005]

I'm going for Italy

However if Spain actually turn up they could win, but everyone's said that about them for the last 10 years

[Venom1982]

What about Holland??? Thats who I'll be going for... (if they make it out of the groups stages...)

[sleep envy]

holland = spain = serial underachievers
