Who Will Win Euro 2008

[seagullsss]

i think the netherlands have a really good chance of winning but i wouldnt like to bet against portugal though..

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

holland are shit and might even come bottom of that group


portugal and germany are my faves.........croatia and czech rep are decent and italy and/or france will be there or there abouts

spain will do better than usual this time, MARK MY WORDS

 

[Wexford Gull]

SPAIN

 

[JJ McClure]

England.
This must be our best chance since 1966 for major honours our golden generation are sure to deliver.



Oh.

Yep, afraid so.
Marco Van Basten doesn't have the squad behind him (it's that old chestnut of the players for the Oranje thinking they know better than the gaffer).
They've already forced him to change the team into a formation THEY prefer, and last week Clarence Seedorf excused himself from the squad after grumbling that he didn't want to play for MvB anymore.
And van Basten is Ajax's new coach for next season - god help them.

Holland are 12/1 at Blue Square - I'd not put any money on them at anything under 22/1 - it's just not value.

I can't see past Germany (although they'll probably need to beat Portugal in the semis) or Italy.
A Germany/Italy final is very much on the cards thanks to the group draw.
You get 10/1 on that at Blue Square - you know it makes sense.

You have not been charged for this information

I hope Spain can finally crack it. But they won't be carrying any of my money this time, as the sums I've lost backing them in big tournaments makes me want to cry like a Leeds fan.

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

i really don't get the dutch, they always have a decent team yet can't fail to self implode

 

[SJ's Love Monkey]

Spain

 

[hans kraay fan club]

What odds could I get for Spain to reach the final, plus Torres as top scoer?

Please?

 

[Wardy]

I think Spain may well just do it this time.

Please?

Spain are 11/4 to reach the final.
Torres is 9/1 to be top goalscorer (joint favourite with C.Ronaldo)

You're welcome!

Thanks

Could probably expect about 20/1 combined then.

Can't remember who described Spain as "the masters of the torn-up betting slip" but they were right.

The answer is, of course....GERMANY

 

[Knotty]

Don't care. Gutted that England are not in it. Pass me the umbrella....

 

[manilaseagull]

Who Cares... why is that not an option?

I will not be getting up at 3am to watch any games.

'snot FAIR that they only let the best teams in *stamps feet*

 

[Hannibal smith]

I’m backing FRANCE. The fact that Patrice Evra can’t get in the team shows how good they are. Dave three Queers can’t even get in the squad.

Spain have the easiest group and a class group of players but I can’t back a team that make England look like over achievers.

Allez Les Bleus.

 

[Mtoto]

Have also been suckered by Spain in the past but am willing to give them another chance at 13-2. They are asking for 6-1 on Betfair, btw, so if you fancy them, it might be an idea to take the price now.

 

[Haydn-4]

I Have a feeling, that croatia will win it. the other lot are crap:L

'snot FAIR that they only let the best teams in *stamps feet*

Not STRICTLY true though is it?

Accepting of course that England don't deserve to be there as they had their chance and spunked it, the fact is that having joint hosts does make it that little bit harder to qualify. Its all very well if those joint hosts were say France and Germany who were two likely qualifiers anyway, but when ONE EIGHTH of the available places are taken by Switzerland and Austria, its not ideal.

[Not that next time will be much different - Poland and Ukraine]
