Guten Tag

bonjour

I agree. The other teams are so similar in quality that I reckon all their games could end up as draws,which means that Romania could end up just needing one shock result (most likely against the Dutch) to get through.

Euro: Mutu says outsiders Romania are worth a bet

“I am sure people looking to bet might ask if we are worth betting on? I think so, they certainly could do worse,” Mutu told reporters after a two-hour training session.

Turkey could be worth a punt to reach the semi finals if they get a bit of luck, as they have some really good players, but I think they just lose concentration at times and that costs them.

Greece are more like Scotland in that they don't have many real quality players, but are well organised. I don't think they'll go very far this time.

As for Poland, their goalkeeper Boruc is absolutely brilliant when he keeps his head together, but is prone to making serious errors. If he's in the right frame of mind, he'll be one of the best players there.

Well, I usually enjoy watching Spain, but it Is difficult to trust them to be around past the first DE. I'm going to make a point of watching the Dutch as they're interesting and Group C is looking to be the most interesting. I'd be alright if Italy And France stayed down, if you're right about Romania, that's one freakin' tough group! I can't believe Poland and Germany are in the same group Again. It's just too bad that Poland seems to be imploding (loss 3-0 to U.S. and squeaked past a 2nd tier Swiss pro team). Are Turkey and Greece any good?

To be honest, I quite fancy Spain to go against type and actually do something in a big tournament for once. The dark horses could well be Romania though, which could possibly mean that my other prediction will go arse over tit, as they tend to do.

I thought we'd done enough to get through as well after beating France home and away. Pity Italy got that dodgy free kick in the last few minutes. Never mind, we've still got as much chance of winning as England do.

Hey! Who do you like for Euro '08? I was so bummed about the Boys in Blue. When I heard y'all beat France I thought you'd be in, but that Italy had to get in the way...
I'm trying to decide who to root for.

-Brasil to South Africa!
