Euro 2008 starts on 7 June 2008 ,which country in your opinion will win this year?

[Andrewz]

it's very difficult to forecast something in this context, but I consider Russia has a considerable chance in winning the European championship. Its national team is now in a good shape

[LION]

How about Italy,don't you think that wining the world cup made them confident in their forces?Or how about Portugal with it young Pele Cristiano Ronaldo

[Andrewz]

Italy's world cup winning was not anything but luck - red card to Zidane, penalty...

I don't think Italy deserved the world cup.
As for Ronaldo, yes, he's good and he will probably score a few points for Portugal, but I can't say whether it can win or not the Euro2008. It's very unpredictable...

[Terry]

but it's certainly not Germany which recently made a draw with Belarus - 2:2

[clearman]

The "death groupe": Italy, France, Holland, Romania. The winner of this groupe should be the champion!

[Terry]

do you consider the current Italy's title of world champion is fairly earned?

[LION]

Terry,why not,it's not like Materati had been punched every match of the world cup
Italy deserved to win the title,and that incident in the final didn't miraculously bring them the cup

[Terry]

after Ziddane was given the red card, the French team was lacked of confidence. They couldn't play as they played in the beginning of the game. All this might have been a script designed to defeat France.

Czech Republic yesterday beat Switzerland 1:0

[sara]

i wish italy.

[Steven]

no, forget about Italy...

[sara]

no, forget about Italy...

why?what about u?

[Terry]

I would like to have an unexpected winner. It's not interesting when things go on like they should. I mean I would like an underdog to win!

[clearman]

I said few days ago that a team from Group C will play the final. Not Italy, Not France, maybe Holland will be the favorite team after 3-0 against Italy. What a shame for azzuri!

[Steven]

haaaa, I told you sara, forget about Italy, the luck doesn't smile them anymore!

[Benn]

Would you look at that - World Champions - humiliated! 0:3 by the Netherlands! That's very unexpected. Russia today will face Spain, maybe it can also be unpredictable, although Spain is considered to be much stronger!

[LION]

I hope that Spain will breake some russian hearhs today
Russia reached Euro only with the help of Croatia,the football they play is not at this level
What you can say about the draw between Romania and France?Do you think that Romania and Netherlands will go further?

[Steven]

Romania showed a nice game with France, but they will have to do their best in the following game with Italy, since Italians are now very mad!

[clearman]

Romania is like an Italian team, but Italians woke up after a cold shower. They must win as they will go in the final.
Today Spain:Russia 4:1 No comment

[Terry]

Russians actually looked like novices in football during this game. They need time to accommodate, but unfortunately they don't have it.

[Terry]

Turkey beat Switzerland 2:1. It's a pity, I don't want Turks to go further, they don't deserve it 'cause their team is weak!

[Benn]

you know what? Croatia became the leader of Group B, it has 6 points. It's surprising me. They beat yesterday Germany 2:1 and showed a really good game. When I watched the game between England and Croatia (euro2008 qualifying) I thought it was a mere luck that they won, but know I'm beginning to change my opinion.
