Every four years, Europe celebrates the greatest game on Earth with one of the biggest sporting tournaments known to man. The Euro Cup is the culmanation of Europe's 16 best footballing nations.
The Defending Champions, Greece, will be looking to prove skeptics wrong and successfully defend their title, however 15 other nations have come to Austria/Switzerland to try their luck at glory.
Here are your 16 contendors and 1st round Fixtures
Apparently my country isn't considered one of Europes 16 best footballing nations... *trying to act surprised* I guess I'll have to go with the closest there is then:
Go Sweden!
I don't know shit about football though. Btw, are we talking about the sport that Americans call soccer, or the thing where you run around holding the ball in your hands?
Check out my bet that I've got on for the opening matches..
£20 on.....
Czech bt Switzerland
Portugal bt Turkey
Croatia bt Austria
Germany bt Poland
Spain bt Russia
France bt Romania
£20 for a £759 return...
Considering the teams on the right of my list there are good and the teams on the left are bad, I think my odds are good. Although it's likely there will be a draw in there somewhere to ruin it.
It won't be surprising to see them do well, They have a fantastic team and chance. I hope they do very well but it seems they don't live up to the potential they have in big matches sometimes.
Spain are the perrenial losers, they're never in the right state of mind, and they always lose the big games. I see them doing good in group stages, then falling short in the Quarters.
Hell yeah. Well, I beat all of you seeing as though I live in Switzerland and get to experience it all up close and personal. Going to go see Italy vs. France and France is gonna beat them this time!
Can't beleive I have decided to grace the Netherlands with my support only to check the groups afterwards and see they are in the Group Of Death. Please let France be rubbish!
I think Czech has a better chance at winning actually, Switzerland is solid but nothing great, and Turkey sometimes gives nasty surprises. Anyway I think both Portugal and Czech will win their matches.
My wife is off to watch Foo Fighters tonight so in return for babysitting while she does it I get to have control over the remote for the weekend. Football during the day and Bedlam at night. I think now is the time to crack open a beer to get me in the mood.
ive got a E20 on Russia 25/1.i saw St.Petersburg in the Uefa cup final and they impressed the hell out of me, ive also got a 10 on Croatia if they had eduardo it would be a 50.outside bets are the only way to go!
Russia? Personally I think Russia has no chance. Turkey, maybe they get going one of their crazy win streaks but I doubt it. Yes, Germany has a pretty good chance, but the favourite is Italy IMO.
France ain't the same team as in years past, with Zidane and others gone. I was hearing people talking about Portugal having trouble scoring goals, but I think that midfield will get it done.
Has anybody seen this shit on Austria? There are odds for if the team allows less than 4 goals
Austria is straight up garbage, if they weren't the hosts they would have never even dreamed of getting in this thing. In fact, their fans begged them to pull out due to the fact that they suck horse plop.
And yeah, I strongly doubt Portugal will have scoring problems as they have a seriously dynamic midfield. Sans Figo.
Well yes, that's true, but this tourny is all about prospects. Especially for France and The Netherlands. The Dutch team has some serious youngsters who fortunately, have already been tested on the international stage.
France has a couple younge boys as well. Their new 19 y.o striker, Karim Benzama has an appetite for goal, Ribery is only like 24 or something and is already being hailed as the new Zidane.
I'm hoping Portugal wins and the crappy Turkey team shows up since I want Portugal to win the whole thing.
