Same
Even though all their best players
are either dead or past it now :(
The Czechs will never cease to be awesome
I'm definitely hoping for a Euro 96-esque run to the final.
Netherlands
.
RED, WHITE AND BLUE THROUGH AND THROUGH
(with orange smudges)
Haha
...i wondered if anyone would have linked the two, however, my real reason for supporting Netherlands is because i lived there for two years....(and perhaps slightly the rangers link)
our fellow countrymen
POLAND
do i need to say it?
spain
who else. i said it.
Yawn-ington.
ENGERLAND
what are the odds that some twats still go to the pub for Euro 2008 matches dressed in england kits and shout EN-GER-LAND a lot?
me: dunno. maybe spain. or croatia. or france. who knows?
A bit of Poland
because I know quite a few Polish people and they are lovely (and more than welcome to steal my jobs and women etc etc blah blah blah)
A bit of Portugal because I have money on them.
And a bit of Croatia because their manager is the coolest person I've ever seen, and they knocked England out in hilarious circumstances.
If Poland are in it,
them. There's a lot come into the shop I work in and I like them. They love their girlfriends lots and shower them with jewellery.
Croatia & Switzerland.
Because Charlie Corluka & Gelson will be playing for them. Other than that, yeah, Czech Republic, because over the last decade or so they've been the best team to watch and they deserve to win something.
or Poland actually, yeah.
It'd be great if they did well, solely because it'd mean me getting crunked and being fed often and very well.
no one
fuck you all
can you be on my side?
fine
Sweden
my second choice
the bastards
:D
Türkiye
England
The Mighty Germans
Italy
as always...
Germans.
howard webb
no
the dream is not over, denmark won euro 92 without qualifying, england can do the same. all we need is to go all franz ferdinand and start a war.
other than that, the czechs.
i've been to 3 czech v germany games for some reason, including the one where their second team won in 2004. happy days.
Germany
Just so I can piss a few white van men off.
Spain
because I crave disappointment
Holland
:(
Amen brother
Spain are just like England - a few pretty talented players over the years but never quite achieved what they should.
I'd say Spain have disappointed even more than England but perhaps Euro 2008 is their time to come good.
POLAND
'Mon the Poles.
Family heritage and that.
Romania
I just want us to be bad so Domenech will get fired.
Croatia....
only for EdwardO.
could we do a fantasy football for this?
...
http://en.fantasy.euro2008.uefa.com/
I'll set up a league. I think its the same format as the premier league one...
cool
i made a team there a few weeks ago :)
I'll go for Russia
or Germany.
Poland
Greece
My family is Greek Cypriot and all. I have soft spots for Italy and Germany too.
turkey ftw
Croatia
Cool Flag
Cool Manager
Vedrun Corluka
don't you mean
Vedran Cooluka
(ho ho ho)
.
I'll be supporting Turkey for Tuncay and Austria for Pogatetz, but Austria are reportedly the worst team to ever qualify for the Euro's, whith hosting it and all, they really arent very good.
Huth
...?
robert huth plays for germany
Romania
until they get knocked out in the group stage by France and Italy
then i'll support Germany, because any team whose managers shares a first name with a cartoon bear is cool by me
Croatia/Sweden
Two coolest countries by far, one had Davor Suker the other one has amazingly fine women.
