Not sure how many Europeans there are here, or even how many of you watch and enjoy the game - but as it's one of the biggest tournaments I think it deserves a thread
Personally I will be routing for France, the clear favourites, but I don't think it will be as easy for them as most expect, in fact I'm a little worried they may falter against the 'little guys' - we've seen it before, and could feasibly see it again.
Zidane as the man of the tournament also, as he has been talking recently about regaining some stability in his game - but regardless of how well he plays he still looks awesome on the ball
But I can't see Portugal or Spain getting very far as usual, particularly the latter who never impressed me at all in their run up preparation.
What do you lot think? Obviously it's impossible to predict, but who do you fancy?
POLL: I didn't realise I hit the limit for options, unfortunately some of the underdogs got left off, Latvia for example - but I have listed them in order 'favourites' and I doubt anybody would go for team like Croatia.

Its a toughie. France probably isnt going far on the other hand portugal could get "wings" or they could crash and burn. Playing at home is always a two-sided blade imo.
Spain has one of the strongest and best leagues in the world i think and maybe they'll finally get some luck this time around, i cast my vote on them.

If Germany has a good start and wins against the Netherlands, they can win the tournament.

No sports forum anymore? Probably a good thing as it was pretty neglected apart from the odd major NFL game, or Champions League predictions.
As for Spain, I agree they are a fantastic side, but as usual the seem to squander this ability on the big stage - and Raul I feel will need to perk up from club level if he is going to be effective.
I think automatic selection at both Real Madrid and Spain doesn't do him any good.
Still they have a better team of individuals than France, Italy etc... but like I say, never seem to achieve much with it.
Seems so far Sweeden is favourites

im rooting for Denmark but with a few injuries and a retarded coach we're bound to fail...
I think Italy (who btw has the coolest kit ever!) will take the cup.

Since 1992 i never rule out the danish team. Who would have thought in 1992 that they win it?

I think England would have a good chance if we actually played our *best* team. Unfortunately players with reputations bigger than talent ala Rooney might play, we'll have to see.
If so, then my money's on France

teams like russia and sweden dont have a chance it seems to me. they might get past group stages but not much more there after. france has a great team but i think that zidanes playmaking may not be the main factor up front. if saha plays in for trezeguet then they will get nowhere as i hate saha. im looking out for spain and england because i think either team can win it all.
