Russia also had a hell of a run in the last one. It was Arshavin's coming out party and the reason I was so stoked when he came to Arsenal. Too bad he's a bum.
It was. It also helped that they were hosting the tourney too. Biggest fluke.

Turkey-Germany and Turkey-Czech were both amazing.

Very pumped for Friday. Group B is obviously an awful group to be in, but whoever wins does get rewarded in the quarters with the 2nd place team from Group A.

Germany will take it. Will be even more interesting this year considering how f*cked up Europe has been. A lot of animosity between countries

Greeces run is what got me hooked on the Euros. I had alwasy followed them before (as much as you could before the internet and coverage everywhere here in USA), but that run was amazing. I hated France when they won the WC in 1998 (I was in Paris for the Group Stage, and fuck...it was annoying as hell). Then France goes and doubles up with Euros in 2000. But Greece was awesome, Spain is my favorite non-US team, and now this years. I cant wait.

Id agree Spain, until they are knocked off, are the favorites for any major tournament.

Germany and Netherlands I put as a toss up.

Sleeper for a deep run, imo, Ireland (also like Sweden and Zlatan to have a big tourney)

Biggest bust I see, France or England. England because of injuries and Rooney being out for 2 games. France, cause fuck France. But I have Ireland and one of England/France coming out of that group, and the other being ousted with a TON of questions regarding the state of their national team (as both sucked penis at the WC).

I'm really pulling for Ireland. I hope they can at least make it out of group play. France could go winless and I'd be ecstatic.

All right ... time to pick a team to root for. No favorite team in Europe heading in, but since my ancestry is a large part Swedish I think I'll go for them.

Heja Sverige friskt humör det är det som susen gör!

"Italy will dominate the group!!!"

Never gets old. :laugh:

I just noticed no Gattuso on Italy's squad. I'm guessing he's done w/ international play?
