Well unless they meet before, Holland and Italy sound like 2 good bets for the final. Same as France. One of those 3 will win it I reckon. Can't see England, Germany nor Spain doing that well.

Yeah DJ they definitely do lol

Spain are risking alot. They will probably arrive 2nd in their group and will have to play a qualifier.

Italy should defeat Wales and arrive first.

England's a bit tricky with the match against Turkey coming up. It can go either way.

Maybe holland france meet in the semis or quarters ;)

I think Portugal are over rated and the Czech don't have what it takes to make it past the quarters.

The 4-2-3-1 is working really good for Italy and if we can get a 2 or 3 goal lead then playing catenaccio football from around the 75th minute wouldn't be that bad of a tactic considering we have Buffon, Cannavaro and Nesta at the back.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see Italy playing attacking football for a whole game, but with Trap that just ain't gonna happen, and if going all-out for the first 60 mins of a game and then taking the foot off the gas is going to win us games then I'm all for it.

It's not true. Spain, Italy, France and the Czech Republic all have teams. Holland just has a collection of individual class players who fail to play properly most of the times.

We win matches against Moldova on rare brilliant moments from star players, not on team effort like the real big guys and that weakness is gonna cost us.

You seem to have the same problem Romania does :D.

But still, with the wonderful team you are saying Spain has, they haven't reach nowhere until now and they won't from now on either. End of story :stuckup:

It's sad but absolutely True, Holland was always like that, they have always had the best players in the world, but still fail to win any championship. :(

I'm hearing more nonsense. Holland have too much sheer class to not make it to Portugal, and when they get there, their star players will be inspired and they will surprise you, Erik.
