I noticed there wasn't a Euro 2008 topic yet... so I thought I might as well post one.

Which team do you want to win the European Championship? And why?

For me it's "Oranje"... well because I am Dutch

EDIT: I posted all teams, but appearantly you cannot make polls that big. So sorry if your country is not on the list. I added the "other" option for that.

Spain ( Fernando Liverpool's number 9) !!!

[Pitufo]

You know I don´t like football, but I suppose Spain is my country, isn´t it???? Last time Spain won an Eurocopa was 1964...so who knows

[Dutchiesmurf]

Spain ( Fernando Liverpool's number 9) !!!

But Kuyt and Babel also play for Liverpool.... so you ought to support the Dutchies haha

[Guest]

Croatia for me ( only cos i have them in the sweep in work )

[Elvissmurf]

Ermmm??

Did Smurfland qualify???

Too be honest the whole thing is going to be quite a turn-off for me...without England being involved,my only hope is that either Croatia or Russia win..that might in someway justify Englands absence...well that and the fact that we were absolutely poo for most of the qualification stage.

If i`m forced to pick a winner....ermmm??...ummmm??......Italy.

[Tojo]

Germany for me although they'll probably get kicked out pretty early
Germany has had better teams.....

Still, where's England huh? Or Scotland or Ireland. We don't even need to bother about Wales or N.Ireland as they can't even play football At least the Welsh can play bloody good rugby to make up for it

Good point Dutchie

But Babel is out and Kuyt is not as good as Fernando!!! But I must admit I have a soft spot for the Dutch. I remember crying when they lost in 1978!!
I was 6. Two of the greatest teams ever never won a thing:

Holland 1974 and Brazil 1982

The Dutch in 1974 had great kits, looked cool and played amazing football-if you look at Jonny Rep and Ruud Krol they looked like hippies with long hair and beads around their neck but incredible players...

As for Brazil 1982-you will never see their like again-INCREDIBLE.

But Spain it is followed by Holland

[Ritter_Schlumpfenherz]

I know that I ought to support Germany, but I since my parents are Czech origin, I cross my fingers for the Czech Republic.

[SmurfingH]

There should have been an option for "no clue"!

[FlamingO]

It has to be PORTUGAL for me
'' He plays on the left.... He plays on the riiiiiiggght..... That boy Ronaldo..... ''

[Guest]

..........made England look sh_te

I'd also want Portugal for Nuno Valente, but i've got 80 quid coming to me if Croatia win

[SA Smurfette]

NFI option for me

[Guest]

Holy crap.......what is it ? I forgot AFL, or Aussie Rules ? Or are they the same

CROWS RULE ANYWAY

[SA Smurfette]

I have taught you well

This is so funny to read.....

As always, during these type of events, my country is going mad...
everything is going to be orange, in the streets, shops, etc.

I`m afraid ,it won`t last long, since we`re in the group with Italy and France.
Personally, I expect that Italy wins, but if we win, I`ll buy this dress
