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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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
