Nah, casual stuff.

Anyway, I was only messing around. It would be a pity not to see Croatia participate there, as they have some great players. But so does Turkey, it will be interesting to watch that.

Small.

They will be motivated like hell and they have excellent offensive talent, in addition to Vucinic and Jovetic, but the experience of the Czechs as well as the fact that since the beginnings of football in these parts the Czechoslovakian school of football has always been the ex-Yu's Achilles heel, makes the Czechs big favs here, imo.
Montenegro is going through 100%. They have a very good squad and much more quality than the Czech's


IMO:
Turkey, Portugal, Montenegro, Ireland

for the Euro 2012

In terms of results, Croatia has historically been better. Also the Croatian's knack for always producing talented and entertaining players like Boban, Prosinecki and more recently Modric makes them a likeable team. I'm no expert on Balkan football, but Serbia despite them having good players, have always been a bit uninspiring for me, they never really get you that interested in watching them. Regardless of whose better, i'd much rather watch the likes of Modric, Kranjcar, Rakitic over Stankovic, Krasic and Tosic.

They've got quality players and a couple of stars who can win them matches. I don't know if Sahin will be back for these matches, but Arda Turan in good form can destroy our pathetic defense. The experienced Emre, the Altintops etc, they can all do it. I also like one youngster they have from Hamburg.
arta is on form but not so on form for turkey. emre and altintops? kidding me? how could they decide a game? emre took it down a notch..playing more defensively, halil and hamit are currently reserves for their clubs. you are favourites that's for sure..

This Czech team is very poor.

They barely even finished ahead of Scotland. :p

They have Rosicky strolling around making passes, but other that that they just have workmanlike players.

The Czech's experience gives them the edge, I'd say, but I wouldn'tmake them big favourites.

No need to bring up such bad memories Red. Was terrible watching that game at the time
Why's that such a bad memory?

I still feel bad for Trezeguet whenever I see footage of the game.

Do we have any Estonian members?

The head of the Football Association of Ireland laughing when we got Estonia in the draw. :sergio:
Well I can see why he laughed, Ireland got the best draw possible, but so did we and we are hoping to conquer the southern part of the island too :p The more they underestimate us, the better it is for us.
