    And you get to open the Euro. Should be a good game.

    Still upset about the 2004 final.

    Poland! I have to support the motherland, I was planning on going to Poland just for this. Spent a fun weekend in Klagenfurt at the last euro cup, the atmosphere is amazing, i want to do it again

    Supporting Ireland (naturally) but don't hold out much hope for us tbh.
    Will also shout for Germany as my adopted homeland.

    Rooting for my fatherland, Germany. Amazed at the tough draw we got...3 of the Top 5 UEFA teams PLUS a tough Denmark that won its qualifying group over Portugal.

    ...BUT we're Germany and should win the group anyways!

    And then there is the SHIT Group A with no good teams in it. Oh well, such is life in European soccer!

    I'd also like to see Ireland do well as I have family there, but honestly, I'm not expecting much from them in Group C. Just happy to see them make it!

    Top 3 Group Games to watch (for those of you who don't watch soccer, but know there's gonna be some good sporting)

    1. Germany vs Netherlands
    2. England vs France
    3. Italy vs Spain

    I am glad Croatia got Italy in the same group, we always beat them.
    GO CROATIA!

    Spain will obviously win the group, but any one of Croatia, Italy or Ireland could finish second. Maybe one of them teams will Spain them by sitting back and defending all game, like Switzerland did in the last world cup.

    Italy had a great Qualifying campaign, but their 2 first choice forwards will probably miss the Euros (Cassano & Rossi). Balotelli will probably start for them, and he is a very volatile player. but they have plenty of replacements so we will see (Quagliarella, Matri, Pazzini)
    Croatia have a good chance of getting out of the group if Eduardo, Modric, Perisic and Ilisevic stay fit .
    Ireland's squad is getting better, and by next summer I expect the fringe players that fitTrapattoni's system could be given a chance, particularly Walters, McCarthy and Coleman.

    Ireland to lose to spain, beat Italy, and draw with Croatia

    Yes it will, I did not want to add that too, as I am already biased towards Germany :lol:
