I am getting pretty excited now not long to go!!!

So predictions people who is gonna win lose and draw???

Winner: Spain [icon_confu They have the best side as far as I can see and the fact my original tip Italy is in turmoil after Cannavaro gets hurt and Cassano gets into a fight at training. Spain I think with its players going well abroad now have the mental toughness to avoid what they have so often been to soft to do.

Surprise Packet: Croatia, they are very very good and will go to the quarters from a so-so group have quality throughout the side with not one player being the make or break for them.

Biggest flop: Netherlands, they have as much hope as I do. The best defender they have is Johnny Heitinga and he is ordinary they have goals in them lots of goals but at both ends and have to very solid teams in France and Italy to contend with. They will be hard pressed to beat Romania.

Wouldn't bet against: Germany, but who in their right mind would at a major tournament until the final?

Top Scorer: Toni, he will have cross after cross bombed at him by Panucci and Zambotta and is so strong and tall and is in such good touch that he really could get a good bag by tournaments end. Other chances - Petric from Croatia, Ballack from the Germs (he scores a lot off corners and penalties and that is how the Germs score them) and surely Torres is a chance but may get a few stolen by the likes of Villa.

Worst performed team: Austria, by some distance they would not be there or even remotely close to the tournament if they weren't hosting the party. Won't get a point probably won't score a goal.

Player of the tournament: Iker Casillas, if they win it may well be because of this guy who in my opinion is the games best keeper, I read recently he has been the most shot at keeper in La Liga for 5 straight years and yet Real Madrid continue to have decent against levels and had the lowest this year, remarkable. Also look at, Torres, Pirlo, Iniesta, Ballack.

Who wants a new contract?: Iniesta, the guy is a dead set genius and will demonstrate it to the whole world in a great midfield, his chance to show the world just how good he already is. Also look at, Benzema, Huntelaar (if he gets a run before they get booted), Modric, Aquilani.
 
I'd have my money on the young and hungry portugal to take it out, with their big name players like Deco (with one big last hoorah!) and Ronaldo to have a big tourney. They will have a great midfield and defence but may struggle a little up front, Nuno Gomes and Sabrosa will have to play really well. Pereira is a big game and is probably the best at stopping them from the spot in the whole tournament!

Player of the tournament will be one of Ronaldo, Deco or Carvalho.

With super Guus at the helm, Russia will be the surprise packets and Arshavin will have a huge tournament and shortly after sign for everton [icon_pray.

Think the I-ties will be the biggest flop.

I think Torres will be the top scorer but Spain will buckle in the big matches (really going out on a limb there, i know [icon_lol1. )
 
I like Croatia to win, and looking forward to see Spurs new signing Modric play.
 
I like the look of Spain but who could put money on the team that always seems to find a way to bottle it. The Germans as usual look pretty strong all over the park but an Englishman can never side with them. My tip for the title is the French I like the look of the squad and can see plenty of goals for them.

At least I can watch the tournament as a neutral with England not being there! :cry:
 
Well since my beloved England are not in this Euro (thanks to McClown [icon_non ) I'll be getting behind Spain to win it. On paper they have a fantastic team, it will be interesting to see how they go.
 
Going for the Czechs. Think France or Germany will get the win though. Spain or Holland to be the biggest flops.
 
Meat77 said:
Aren't Spain always the biggest flops?

Very true. I love it also.

Considering this fact, however, it might actually be questionable of me to label them 'flops' seeing they pretty much are consistently woeful.
 
Shall be supporting Poland as that's where half my family's from.

Croatia are a definite chance in my book, and obviously Spain have a cracking team.

I think Germany will win, massively talented team.

Polska jest lepsza!!!
 
I have changed my avatar to show where my allegiances lie. :headbangingsmiley:
 
No real surprises last night.

The Czechs beat the Swiss 1-0 and Portugal dominated Turkey, ending up with a 2-0 win.

Australia meanwhile. [icon_non
 
Yeah I won money on the Czechs at 2.80 which isn't to bad and yeah well Australia got a bit of justice I guess after our lucky victory in the other match. A result against Qatar in Qatar no becomes huge for us and i don't think that will be an easy feat.
 
Winner: France
Runner Up: Portugal or Italy
Suprise Packets: Czech Republic
Leading Goal Scorer: Ronaldo
Flop: Spain
 
Does anyone know how much it is to whack setanta sports onto your bill??
 
if u have austar its 6 bucks a month, if u have foxtel i think its something ridiculous like 15 bucks a month with an extra 15 dollar sign up fee.
