I am pretty surprised that I havn't seen a thread about this yet, but the European Championship starts today and I was wondering what your hopes and expectations for the tournament are.
Seeing as how Denmark once again managed not to get qualified I really don't know who I should be cheering for but personally I think Portugal will end up winning it all.

I never get to see a whole Italian game as I always fall asleep! :roll: I reckon now some of the spanish players have toughened up in the premiership they could have a really good run.

Nah, its all about France. We came so close to winning the World Cup, it is only fitting that we get this one.

On the other hand, I also think Portugal will end up winning it, although I think we might see some good things from Germany as well.

Allez les Bleus!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't England fail to qualify? <.< Kinda of hard to win it if you're not in it, no?

Forza Italia!

I hope France wins once more.
But i think its too late for the oldest players and too early for the new ones.
I'd rather see this Euro as a training session for the next World Cup.
Nasri, Ben Arfa, Benzema, Gomis, Mexes, Clichy, Flamini, etc... will be ready then.

Switzerland for the win!
After what happened to them yesterday, they deserve it, even though i doubt they´ll survive the group stage.
Portugal played very well yesterday, but Turkey wasn´t exactly the hardest to beat. After all it is going to be Germany against Italy in the final and Germany is going to take it (hopefully).

Portugal played nice yesterday, but Turkye didn't play up to my expectations.
Switzerland misses their top player with Frey injured and that will be what's keeping them from the quarter finals.

Thoug Poland is 1-0 behind against germany now, I still think they have a decent chance of getting throug.

Italy probably will get through and has the best chance of winning, though I think (hope) Holland will give them problems in the semi's.

Russia and Spain are most likely to go through in group D.

I do think that the champion will come from group C or D.
I hope C (Holland) :P

Croatia > Austria

Can't say I didn't expect it... currently watching the Poland game and hoping for an upset to make it easier for Italia!

France tied Romania. Huge changes for the "Group of Death" as Romania could actually make it past the group stage if France fails to beat Netherlands (as they can't possibly beat Italy!)

Netherlands > Italy 3-0... Absolutely pathetic display from Italy... Shouldve brought Del Piero into the game earlier, Toni couldn't keep it down and a few bad calls just ugh...

2 goals in 5 minutes... 1 of which was about 2 yards off sides but never called changed the game forever. Shell Shocked is right... you would be to if that crap happened!
