Euro 2008

[Skynetmain]

I am a little new to following soccer, but all of my friends can basically name every team in the US and Europe as well as their star players. I'm actually surprised that I didn't see this topic already.

Thanks to them, I am interested in following Euro 2008, but I don't really know which team(s) to cheer for. Who does everyone recommend? Who are you cheering for? What do you think the outcome will be? Etc?

(I even got super excited when the pizza place I got lunch at today was showing the Germany/Austria game.)

[Oops]

Holland. They are doing well so far.

I'm watching Spain/Italy right now. Rooting for Spain, of course. But I'm not qualified enough to predict a winner.

Well, we already know the end, of course. I was rooting for Portugal, but their performance against Germany was so poor I am very sad. Haha afterwards I was rooting for Turkey, because they were kind of the major underdogs here, and though they didn't win I think they put up a really good fight against Germany. And I'm glad Germany lost.

I was actually quite happy that Spain won even though I wanted Germany to win

It's definitely a spanish year.....I have a feeling that Rafael Nadal will win Wimbeldon ever since that young spanish fella won the golf.....*shrug*

I'm so happy Spain won! I was cheering for Portugal until they went out, then switched to Spain.

I was rooting for Italy, being that I'm italian.
Until spain beat them in PK's, and then I started rooting for the russians.

But then they lost, and I just didnt care anymore. lol

But congratulations to the spanish players, they deserved it.
