Starts today at 1130...

Please lord don't let those Italians win!

I'm hoping Holland will win it all, but I think a final of Germany vs Italy is most likely with Croatia and Romania being the dark horses of the tourney.

Should be a fun summer!

 

[evil drunken-fool]

Go England! Oh wait........hahaha

I am going for one of the longshots Sweden.  I am a huge Henrik Larsson fan and it will be nice to see him at will probably be his last international competition.

My picks for today are the Czech Republic over Switzerland and Portugal over Turkey.

I just hope someone goes into Rinaldo two-footed and breaks both his legs.  Then we can get a season in the Prem of all the red bandwagon climbers wingeing.

Well, Ronaldo is whining about wanting to play for Real Madrid... Soon, the Man U scum fans will hate Ronaldo just like rest of England too

I'm hoping for a Swiss win and Turkey win.

I hate those diving Portuguese bastards...

I'm all involved in the rugby summer tours and the Churchill Cup this weekend.  16 continuous hours of Rugby on Setanta, starting at 02:30 this morning.  My eyeballs feel like two burning coals, and coffee pot is in danger of going critical mass any minute.

hollands gonna take it  8)

I hate those diving Portuguese bastards...

who remembers that holland-portugal game from world cup 06..nasty game

 

[Kat Stevens]

Who remembers that flopping little wanker rat bastard getting Rooney a red card in the last world cup?  How Rooney can even wear the same shirt as that little turd is well beyond me... I fookin' 'ate that little twat.

To be fair it's the ref's fault mostly for letting such ridiculous diving antics go on

Pfft,

You know that we will!

1-0 Czech who played like Greece. BORING!

The Swiss will feel hard done by for losing a game that they should have won. The Czechs should bless Cech for saving their ass... Again.
No Nedved and Rosicky makes them really boring to watch.

Doubt the Swiss will go through group stage now that Alex Frei seems to be injured

 

[Mike Baker]

It was boring indeed. I only watched like 15 minutes of it, and I had to leave because I was falling asleep.

Well I'm an England fan so I'll just be appreciating some good soccer, without much bias. Although being a Liverpool fan, I do want Spain to win! Hmm I also seem to support underachievers...

 

[soccer08]

I'm an England fan as well.  Although, since they are not in it, I'm going to be cheering for the Netherlands.

HAIL HAIL,

A fellow Bhoy I believe!!!

You know I am actually huge fan of Larsson and Sweden!!!

One of his best goals, adn against Rangers who else!!!!  This was the year he won the golden boot when playing with Celtic!

ps, just grabbed the Jersey's out of the Closet!!

2-0 win by those Portuguese diving team

Man Portugal is full of class (well, minus a good striker) but I hate their antics.

That Pepe goal is very nice.

 

[observor 69]

Baden Guy! ...... Eight years spent in posting to Germany !
Ya you bet I'm a fan of Germany .  ;D

 

[Gimpy]

I don't know if the Italian fans are currently drowning their sorrows, or the Dutch are celebrating, but man that was a great game by the Dutch. Absolutely tore apart Italy even though the first goal was up for debate. Van Der Sar made some amazing saves as well, but Italy just didn't look themselves today. The goal differential might just come back to haunt Italy at the end of the group stage.

 

[Kaplan]

Czechs will win it all!

Its kinda like Devil's hockey, its boring to watch but it works.
