i bet the germans will win it this year. seeing as were not in it, i can just imagine them winning it rubbing salt into our wounds.

Germans or Italians are probably the obvious choices. I'm not sold on Portugal (no CF) or the Netherlands (continue squad unrest and defence looks leaky although not essentially the problem). Both teams on paper aren't as strong as the Italians, Germans, French or Spain. I'll be pulling for Spain and will hope Ricardo Quaresma lights it up but my prediction is no fun, its Italy.
(another very tough group; Greece looked strong in qualifying. I think 2nd is a tossup between Russia - who've looked good and are fun to watch - and Greece. Sweden will finish last unless super-Larsson has another unbelievable run of form) -Spain -Greece

Well I think that the surprise team of the tournament will be Croatia....if they are even considered a "SURPRISE" team...

Group A -Portugal -Czech republic -Switzerland -Turkey
Group B -Germany -Croatia -Poland -Austria
Group C -France -Italy -Holland -Romania
Group D -Spain -Russia -Sweden -Greece
Quarter-finals Portugal v Croatia (PORTUGAL) Germany v Czech Republic (GERMANY) France v Russia (FRANCE) Spain v Italy (ITALY)
Semi-finals Portugal v Germany (PORTUGAL) France v Italy (FRANCE)
Finals Portugal v France (PORTUGAL!)
3RD PLACE MATCH UP Germany v Italy (GERMANY)
I am actually unsure of whether Holland or Italy will make it out of the group between them two as I think France will make it all the way to the final if not win it all. Then when it comes to Portugal, I am having second thoughts about them winning it all, especially when they have to go through the likes of Germany, which seems a stretch. I have a gut feeling Portugal can do it this year, but Germany are a better team overall as are France.

hahahaha its funny cause italy or france will b at the bottom of the group... or they might both be at the bottom if romania beat netherlands. And yes romania have a good chance of beating them since in our preliminary matches we tied them and beat them...

the qualifying matches don't have as much to do with whether or not romania beats holland than the fact that holland are going to be resting a majority of their superstars.
