Euro 2008
Just realized that there's some summer football (besides the MLS..fnarr fnarr).
Quite enjoy an excuse to guzzle pints in the late morning/afternoon. Anyone looking forward to Euro 2008 without the ingerlund side show? (In all seriousness I can't handle another thread mentioning some player I've never heard of playing for some mid-table German/Swiss/Brazilian that we are immenently signing. Fucking summer season I do hate with a passion.)

Are people planning on following a team or just enjoying the football on offer? I must admit I not much of an England fan so that doesn't really bother me that they are not there. I will be following Spain especially this year, just coz of our lads who should be there.

Re: Euro 2008
I'm looking forward to it more because England aren't there. I like watching football in the summer and having a few beers in the pub whilst the games are on. England usually ruin major tounaments for me with the media going mad over them and loads of the publi jumping on the bandwagon and putting silly flags on their cars.
I think Euro 2008 will be really good as well because it's quite open. Who do people think will win it?

Re: Euro 2008
I like a bit of footie on the telly over the summer but Internationals can never match the passion of club football for me.
I heard McClaren is punditting on the Beeb's Euro2008 coverage. Has the man no shame?

Re: Euro 2008
I reckon Portugal, Czechs, Germany, Croatia,Sweden and Spain through and the worst overused moniker in football besides 'sea side minnows against Premiership giants' the proverbial group of death perhaps France and the Dutchies.
The Italians just don't seem to excel at this tournament which is nice as I'll be in Ottawa this summer and it's full of Camaro-driving flag waving Italian-wannabes who've never set foot in the Home Country their parents fled because their leadership couldn't pick the proper sides in the Wars.

Re: Euro 2008
couldnt care less really, will keep an eye on the Liverpool lads involved but other than that it may as well be the African Cup of Nations for all the interest I'll have in it

Re: Euro 2008
Just had a look at the groups;
Group A Czech Republic Portugal Switzerland Turkey Group B Austria Croatia Germany Poland Group C France Italy Holland Romania Group D Greece Russia Spain Sweden I'll be supporting Spain for our players and I think they have a great chance of winning it as the tournament is really open for me. I did fancy Croatia before Eduardo got injured but I think they'll miss his goals now. Portugal will have a really good chance as well, and could be worth putting a tenner on.

Can the Greeks meet the Turks? And Austria- they'll be lucky to win a game I reckon. Innsbruck- stick to skiing and Anchluss and opera. (Steigl is a good beer, though)

Re: Euro 2008
I am looking forward to it, obviously a shame England aren't there.
My team is always Holland though (picked up the new shirt when I was there last week), but would love to see Spain (finally) do well at a tournament.

Re: Euro 2008
I will be wearing my Spain shirt around when Sweden play them. What is "Come on then, I'll have the lorrayes" in Spanish?

Re: Euro 2008
If I dont have any connection to the teams I just cant get worked up about it, even in the prem I dont watch too many games as a neutral, it just bores me

Re: Euro 2008
I hate an off season without a world cup or Euro it seems to last forever but when theres a big tournament on it flys by.
I think ill be hoping Spain or Netherlands win, I just hope Liverpool players play well. As fun as it is to laugh at England's failure the tournament does lose a bit of media gloss and some drama along the way without them there.
