Well I might as well get it started with only 4 days until this kicks off! My dutch are gonna win it, who do you think is gonna take the cup?
The Euro is a crazy tournament. Not African Nations Cup crazy, but it comes close. Very unpredictable. Any one of the 16 teams can win, but I do have a feeling that the furia roja might pull it off this year.
Spain, Portugal or France. Too many chosen? Portugal. There, I said it. Or, Spain. Sticking by this. France, they can do it.
I hope Spain kicks *** in their last tuneup match. Like, I hope they do so well, that their opponent has a coaching change after the match.
I AM going for the Dutch. I don't have the brackets in front of me, but, going off memory, I'm rooting for: Dutch Poland Czeck Republic Norway I think that's one in each group.
Portugal me....hopefully the ronaldo buzz will not distract the team (and I hope he stays with Man U!).
This is where my usual anti-Italy, cheating, they suck rant goes. This suffices since we all knew it was coming and what it would say.
I can't tell you how happy it would make me to see Italy offed by some ******** dive/blown call. I would be ecstatic! I love virtually everything about Italy, except... Their Men's Soccer Team.
Me too little French dictator. Regarding places to go, try Daddy's, which used to be BW3 which is next to what used to be the Hard Rock Cafe. They have a **** ton of tv's, all in H0 and they put soccer on during the days. If I am not mistaken, a couple of the employees during the daytime love soccer. You should have the place to yourself, they have good beers and food specials during the days. Wings on special Tuesdays, Drumsticks for Wednesdays and so on.
I like watching games at Fado. Yes, it can be tough to get a drink at times. Yes it can be a tad crowded.. TV set up isn't the greatest... But the overall atmosphere is kick ***. Definetly a soccer crowd. As for predictions, here's what I've got. Winners listed first: Group A: Portugal/Czech Group B: Germany/Croatia Group C: ummmmmm.... Netherlands/ Italy Group D: Spain/Sweden Portugal vs. Croatia: I like Portugal Germany vs. Czech: I like zee Germans Netherlands vs. Sweden: Der dutch Italy vs Spain: Gotta go with the Spainards.. (can't freakin stand italy.. seriously.. ) Semis: Portugal/Germany: Germany Netherlands/Spain: Netherands. Final: Netherlands/Germany: zee Germans. ESPN has a fantasy pick 'em for the Euro. Pretty cool. p.s. my predictions are typically worthless.
Not bad. I hope we don't have to play the sweedes again though. Now that my family has moved from Holland too Sweden it would be tough to watch. I don't want to play the Germans either. Would be an amazing final though!
Patrick Vieira is either REALLY TALL or the other guys are midgets. Patrice Evra (wiki- 5'9"), Patrick Vieira (wiki- 6'4") & someone else I'm sorry. I have friends who are 6'4" and I'm 5'9" and that looks like a hell of a lot more than 7". ESPN story: The Link
