Engeland!!!

Germans glowing with anticipation? Half the German team is completely depressed after coming second in championship, cup and champion's league. A year ago, I would have said that Germany is a favorite to win, but right now, I am sceptical whether we even make it through the group phase.

This will be a football tournament not a full contact cage fight. Make sure the Dutch get the memo. Thanks.

I'm sorry someone rooting for england is talking about dirty football.

[Martinus]

I don't expect either of the hosts to leave their respective groups.

[Sheilbh]

Germany, I hope.

[Gups]

I can't remember ever hving been less excited about a major footballtournament. Certainly won't be England who enthuse me.

[Martinus]

I have no idea what shape the teams are right now but my predictor of group winners are:

Greece
Czech Rep.
Germany
Portugal
Spain
Italy
France
England

I used to root for the Dutch but I recently hate them for being anti-Polish xenophobes and rolling down on pot for tourists, so fuck you. I think this year I'm rooting for Portugal because Ronaldo is dreamy and I don't really care for any other team.

[Josquius]

I'm hoping Holland's time has finally come and they do stand a good chance.

Bizzare England has such good odds.
I suspect its not a genuine analysis of their chances but rather a "Just in case" since a lot of English will put money on them anyway.

Germany glowing with anticipation for Poland and the Ukraine? 

That didn't turn out too well for them last time.

Interesting no-one's going for Spain

I love the shift from broad support to hate

What was the anti-Polish stuff from the Dutch?  Not heard of this

Interesting no-one's going for Spain

I hadn't arrived yet.   

We're not in our best moment either and several key players are out or doubtful, but what the hell.
