Group A - Czech Republic Portugal Switzerland Turkey
Group B - Austria Croatia Germany Poland
Group C - France Italy Netherlands Romania
Group D - Greece Russia Spain Sweden

I think the winner will come from Group C

BTW

Can You Hear Me? by Enrique Iglesias is the official song of UEFA EURO 2008 and the Spanish star scheduled to perform live at the final in Vienna on 29 June.

I would like Germany to win as I will be in Germany for the final.. If coming 3rd in the world cup was anything to go by, the atmosphere was fantastic

England (0) 2 Croatia (2) 3, played Novembe 2007

England are out of Euro 2008 because of the above result and Steve McClaren lost his job as England manager as a result. Fabio Capello was appointed as the next manager.

I hate football when it interrupts my favourite shows :lol: I don't watch the matches I just follow the results on the news. When I say results I mean for the Euro and World cup, just out of interest.

I don't see the point either of watching every match regardless :p

thats what my mum said, although i can see why cos some people might wanna watch it as its a major tournament and might not have sky etc. also did the bbc/itv already pay for the rights to show it before they knew england werent in it?

Greece werent on form, and Samaras was pants, he really isnt at that level yet, he is playing well for Celtic but he hasnt quite got that star quality.

The Holland game has been the best so far. Was shocked at how good Russia were, even though they didnt win.

France not been as good as i thought they would be.

Yes, they have played and lost 2-0 to Germany.

Poland played their second game last night against Austria drawing 1-1 leaving them struggling at the bottom of the table.

Another brilliant match by Holland thumping France 4-0 superb.

i think they are, if they win now my 10 pound bet will get 46 back which is quite.

Robben, Sniejder, Van Nistelrooy and Van Persie are all so strong and able to get goals. I also thought Croatia would do well as they beat the Germans but they have won games with not that many goals an d1 penalty.

Italy trumped the French decisively in their Group C re-match of 2006 World Cup winners and runners-up Tuesday, moving on to play Spain in the quarterfinals on Sunday after an enlivening display of confidence.

I thought the Turks were going to do a nother spectacular comeback, however the germans provided to tougher competition, that Lahm goal was brilliant. Although i do reckon Stuttgard will be wondering what on earth they have bought with Jens Lehmann, he was trerrible.

It was a good game though. I think what ever the final, Germany v Spain / Russia, it should be good.

I think the turks did themselves pruoud considering they had about 13 fit players/ not suspended, and also Colin Kazin - Richards, or Kazin - Kazim as he were known last night played really well. I bet Sheff Wed are guted they sold him.

I want Germany to win but I don't want to jinx them as I had high hopes for Holland. If Germany played the same way they did on Wednesday then they deserve to get thumped by Spain, but I think they will pull it out of the bag and give a stunning performance.
