Official EURO 2008 Thread

What are everyone's predictions for today's games? I'm going to say Switzerland 1, Czech Republic 1 and Portugal 2, Turkey 0. So get ready for a Czech Republic thrashing and a shock Turkey win >_>

One can only hope.

Howard Webb! Webb! Webb!

Does it have anything to do with us beating USA, who are probably ranked about #3 like usual?

No, FIFA fixed their rankings a while ago didn't they? And when they did that, USA and Mexico dropped to their rightful spots between 15-25. I think they made it so that who you play is counted, not just how many games you win, meaning USA & Mexico's wins over Guadalajara or the Bahamas don't have as much of an impact anymore.

I think you mean Guatemala. Or possibly Guadeloupe. (¬_¬)

I'll back the Netherlands. They're the closest, have great players, and I like their strips. And I like the country. Need I explain more?

Sky needs more big coverage.

I predict Switzerland 1-1 Czech Republic and Portugal 0-2 Turkey.

You mean Mexico don't play against their own cities?

[Liam]

I think if any of the 'big' teams are going to struggle, it may be Portugal. They seem a little soft at times, and not the kinda team to do well if it comes down to a grind, like Italy and such.

[The Kraig]

Well, it would make a nice friendly actually. Guadalajara vs The Rest of Mexico.

[9 to 5]

I have a double on the Swiss and Portugal today.

[Liam]

I thought the Czech's to beat the Swiss was a cracking price, personally. The Czech's should have more about them, definitely.

[The Quasi Juice]

Just FUCKIN' typical. Robben injured, misses match against Italy.

JUST GREAT.

[9 to 5]

Robben injured? I won't hear of it!

[IAceI]

Impossiblé!

[alldaws1]

He wasn't going to start anyway was he?

[therockbox]

What the hells with the box people.

[therockbox]

I love opening ceremonies, they're always completely pointless and chuckle worthy.

I love opening ceremonies, they're always completely pointless and chuckle worthy.

And why do they always feature someone on stilts??
