The Official EURO 2008 thread

[rady]

I'm sure i'm not the only one who is looking forward to see this tournament, so here's the official thread!

What do you guys think about the draw? My squad got into the worst case scenario, with Holland, France and Italy.. (the team with the best UEFA coefficient and the finalists of 2006 World Cup). It couldn't have been worse.. All the other groups seem so simple compared to this one.. My prediction is that whoever gets out of that group, will play the final.

Btw, is anyone planning to go to any of the games?

Thanks Rady for the thread.

Polska has a hard group. First game June 8th... Germany...

WOW Romania is in a hard group too. Good luck there.

Man im shattered, England didnt make it so my interest in the cup has pretty much all but gone.
How the hell did we not make it.
Anyways good luck to your country, all the best.

As long as Italy, Germany, France or Portugal dont win i will be happy

[Pricey]

POLSKA!! GOAL!!!!!!

[nyKnicks126]

The UEFA Euro 08 game has already been released in Europe... In the USA, the game is coming out in Mid May. I already reserved it. Did anyone else get the game? In Europe it came out already on April 11, 2008.

In Polish Cup news. Roger Guerreiro from Brazil, might be on Leo Beenhakker (Polish Coach) mind to play for the national team. Roger Guerreiro played for a 1st league Polish team Legia Warszawa. A quick midfielder is what the Polish team needs. Only 48 days to go until it starts!

I will not be purchasing it as ENGLAND did not qualify lol

[The_French_Knicks]

I'm french so I like soccer,I want of course the victory of France but the group is difficult but we have a lot of great players,France will Win the Euro 2008

[dre48ny]

I will root for Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal! I will be visiting Portugal and Spain this year, which would be my first time in Europe. Cristiano ronaldo is playing at a very high level!!

Rady, I wish Romania luck although they beat my team a few times in World Cups ( Colombia). It is a very difficult group though!!

[NicksKnicks]

Seen as though republic of ireland or england arnt in it (england are overrated) im going to support spain!!! liverpool fan and most of our team are spanish so guna follow them!

Spain will choke again lol, such a strong side yet no success.
I think Holland will win it, love Van Nistelrooy being a Man Utd fan.
I hate Portugal with a passion, even if Ronaldo is playing. Damn them.

[Sir_Knickerbocker]

Thanks, man. Love being hated, that means we're doing something right.
Anyway, it's not like we are going to win it all this year. We had our big chance in 2004 and we blew it. Scolari sucks ass.

We still have some of the best defenders in Europe (Carvalho, Pepe, Bruno Alves, Bosingwa), one great midfielder (Deco) and brilliant wings (Ronaldo, Quaresma, Nani)...but it won't be enough for sure.
Italy will probably win it all.
