Let's see if we can get a Euro thread going. Anthems are being sung as I write this and it's about to start. Thought? Prediction?

Personally I've never been much of an enthusiast about these tournaments, more of club football fan myself. But hey at least one match every day from now on, can't complain about that.

Also a club football person myself, but with nothing better on TV, why the heck not. Making predictions?

To be honest I've got no clue who might take it. I'm german and it's been forever since they won anything. Would be nice but I wouldn't mind them not winning either.

There's Spain of course but I don't think they'll be able to win a second Euro in a row. They don't seem as strong as they used to. Maybe Netherlands. Or some totally unexpected team like Greece in '04.

England.

It's hard saying that with a straight face, lol. Chances of that happening are slim.

And you're right, Spain are not the team they once were, so I don't see them winning. Germany do have a decent chance, as do the Netherlands. And I'd love to see C. Ronaldo cry again when Portugal is knocked out, lol. For me, France are the dark horse in this one.

Yeah it's finally started! Should be a good tournament as far as predictions go I reckon it will be one of the big three of Spain, Germany or the Netherlands who win but I could see France or England go on to win it through some tight close matches were they get dominated but still somehow win ala Chelsea in this years Champions league.

This year would be interesting enough.

I thought there was a thread on this already. Well regardless, Poland has been playing well so far and those two yellows on that Greek player were completely ridiculous.

want predictions: my predictions:
Group A: Russia, Poland
Group B: Netherlands, Germany
Group C: Croatia Spain (ye, I reckon Croatia)
Group D: France, Ukraine/Sweden

semifinals: Germany - France
Netherlands - Spain
finals: uncertain, but my bets will go on Netherlands for their coolest fans that ever existed (well, after Brazil)

I would've expected this, too. But I didn't find one so I made this one instead.

ITALY !!!!!!

I´m Brazilian but my Grandfather born in Italy, my family is all Italian xD

I will support the Italian team xD FORZA ITALIA!!!!

Yeah especially the first didn't even seem like a foul, i didn't get what he did.
I hope we won't have them helping the home team getting a little further than it could by it's own. We see this phenomenon quite often in this tournaments.
The game got more exciting though despite ten players, they even scored. Maybe they got mad or something lol. They where sleeping at first few minutes.

Haha oh man what a match. Awesome.

This game is crazy lol. Great first match to kick off the Euros.

O_O Wow! Penalty and a red one. What was that goalkeeper thinking. Both goalkeepers where awful really.
Btw the same guy that put the Greek goal. He proved to be a pain in the ass for Poland.

Edit: They lost it. They should have made the little guy that put the previous goal and got the penalty do it. The moment i saw that captain guy i knew he wouldn't put it. He seemed like a too sentimental guy from all his reactions until now on the field.

That's typical Arsenal goalkeeping for you. -__-

1x1 in the first match...

Waiting for the next match...Russia x Czech Republic....

And this concludes the first match of this tournament. Lots of stuff happened and it was quite fun to watch. Have to admit I didn't expect that with these two teams.

Let's see what Russia and the Czechs do.

Quite exciting match for a first game. 2 goals, 2 red cards, a lost penalty and another slightly disputable goal.

1-1. Fair result for both teams and I expected a draw to happen between the two sides. Russia and Czech Republic should be a great game as well.

Germany wins the whole thing. Great opening match as well.
