Football (Euro 2000 and more)

Hopefully we will repost the Euro 2000 over here so we can go on discussing the noble game of football.

 

OK, here's the old post

This is not a star wars subject but I'm wondering, who do you think
wins the euro 2000?
I've got no idea, honestly, but I think Holland will be quite
dangerous.

I'm from Holland, but I doubt 'we' will win.

We here in the England think that we stand a fair chance.... but we
always think that.
I think Germany, France, England and maybe Spain stand a good chance
of getting it.
I do know that everyone in England wants to beat the German's
because we lost to them in Penalties in Euro 96 - and it was a real
kick in the guts. Germany have beaten us in every tornament for 36
years..... it's must sureky soon be our turn to share the limelight!

I don't think that Germany is able to win the Euro2000: their
prestation in World Championship was quite bad I think...
But England has a very good Team IMO (the young Owen was very
impresive in the last WC)
...but you haven't Zidane!
Definitively if the motivation is as great as for the WC, France is
the favorite.
Or if it's not france, I bet on England.

Zidane was of no use for Juventus (Turin) against Lazio (Rome)'s
strong defence (Alessandro Nesta, above all) in the Italian
league... It's the collective which is pivotal not a single
champion.

Germany will win the euro 2000!!!!
When they won't get the championship, than it will be England or the
Netherlands.
France was quite bad the last games.
I don't think that they have a chance.

I think that the winning team will be a big surprise, if it isn't
Holland. The "big" nations aren't that good, France had problem even
getting to the Euro 2000, Germany and Italy are just a bit weak and
disorganised, Spain didn't impress in the game agains Sweden, nor
did England against Malta.
This means that there is a big opportunity to smaller nations to
take the gold. I still believe in Holland though, and my heart is of
course with Sweden.

If were talking of wish list then I'd love for the Tartan Army to
take the cup back to the Lochs!!!!
Scotland have the right attitude to Sport. They know that they arent
the best in the world, they always beleive they can turn the
underdog into their favour and beat m

 

No, I'm Swedish.

 

I started to love Portugal this year, so I hope they will make it. I'm not sure if Sweden will make it, our football is too boring.

 

I don't think it's a good sign that everybody seems to be keen to get Stefan Schwarts back in the team. He is one of my favourites, but he starts getting old, and it would be good to have some new players instead.

 

But you must admit that it's funnier to watch the technical football, than the defenseive "scandinavian" football.

 

You could say that a perfect team would be a strong disciplined team with some "divas" in it. The problem is that many teams just have one sort of player teamplayer or divas, a good team need both.
