I am utterly biased and will be rooting for Germany.

In all seriousness, I'm not sure who I'm tipping to win this year. I have a feeling it will be either Germany or Italy. As to who I will be supporting, well, I have to weigh up who I hate the least tongue
You can always support the opponents of the teams you don't want to win, that's what I did in '98, took the Dutch long enough to lose though. sad

The Czech's have no where near the team they had four years ago, even if Nedved comes back, he's a shadow of his former self.
That's good news for me. tongue

Thanks I'll check that out!

EDIT: Okay so... England has never won the Euro Cup, nor has it even advanced to the final game. Only been third place twice... Sounds like someone was overselling his team... wink

That's what England fans do. Well, that and suffer eternal disappointment.

It's all part of a secret plan by the English national team to lull everyone else into a false sense of security wink

Luckily we got pay tv at home a couple of months ago, so I should be able to see most games (the important ones at least)

ABC will be airing every game just like they did with WC06, spread over ESPN, ESPN2, and ABC.

My prediction is that this is Spain's year. With the best keeper in the world on current form, one of the best strikers, a great midfield, and a decent defense... they've got a shout. I'll be rooting for Germany, though.

I've decided I'm rooting for Portugal, given the Man Utd connection.
