Germany

My take is that Germany goes on to win. At any rate they will clear the group stage.

Cheers.

Group C looks the toughest group by far, with Italy, France, and Holland. All three teams are quite capable of putting up strong challenges for the title.

The eight teams I'd like to see as poll options would be:

1. Spain - El Nino attack
2. France - The magic of Henry
3. Italy - Forza Azzuri
4. Greece - The dark horses?
5. Portugal - Well....I detest them, but they are a good side
6. Holland - Co-winner of SR's most hated
7. Germany - trust them for Klose games
8. Russia - just to complete the numbers, really!

Ten options might be a bit too many.

Don't count out Romania. They are the underdogs here. A good team with two stalwarts in Mutu and Chivu.
I am hoping for Italy and Romania to go thru

hahahahahahaha...just loved it.... one problem though i think sukur is not in the team...
but even without him they are a good team...
there strike force Nihat, Sanli..defence is strong and as you have mentioned they are a tough team...
The reason you are calling them a junglee team is because of the way they play @ home.....some of the attitude from spectators rub off to players too....
romania: the two factors that are working for them is their team spirit...and ADRIAN MUTU.....i guess he may have a point or two to prove at international stage.....

unless and untill some team have all the luck (like greece in 04) i cant see any team apart from these (the team mentioned in my two posts) winning euro 08..

@ KGV i just spelt the name incoorect....
i know suker retired long time back
