Who will win Euro 2004?

Come on Ingerrrrrrrrland!!!!!!!!!

why didn't you put all the teams in the poll, this just show a complete lack of effort and if you can't put effort into making the poll then I won't put the effort into voting in it, however i've put the effort into making this reply so that has defeated the purpose of my protest, thus I have voted anyway....

Italy.....

It would be great if Holland will win this trophy , but Portugal will be very strong too...

if steven gerrard and lampard continue their form dont see much contest in the other teams. j/k

nah think england will atleast fight emself to the final.

Rather shocking to see only two 'teams' in the poll. England? Nah...
Like last World Cup, im on Spain

Last Place: England.


Let the haters rant

The heart says England but i cant see it happening. More likely gona be Spain

It aint gonna be england, its never england!

think either portugal or france

England?!

I don't think so. Either France or Portugal in my opinion.

England???



That's one of the funniest things I've heard since some of my TA-fr friends which were sure Marseille was going to win the UEFA Cup!

France will win this competition, and if not I bet on Portugal or Germany.

Belgium of course!! oh wait...
Italy!

I'm not laughing, we would've won the world cup (2002) if Ronaldinho wasn't a jammy little goof, who would've stood in our way, Germany? haha........remind me how France fared again?.....was that, not a single goal vs Denmark, Uruguay & Senegal?

Having stood up for me country there, I'm gonna have to say I don't think we'll win, definately don't think Spain will though as a lot of people here think, they're team looks sensational at every tournament but then seem to get nowhere, strange. Having just ripped the piss out of France, I don't think they'll be taking anything for granted this time and should really win......if not them, then Portugal or Italy me thinks.

GERMANY!!!!!!!

i know ppl are gonna start bashing...but we'll see by the end of the tournament

Holland will win the final against Switzerland

For some reason I'm not that scared of France. That might all change on the day of the match though. I just think that in 4 games against John Terry this season Henry's got one long range goal against a reserve goalkeeper. France are very strong in centre midfield (Vieira, Zidane etc), but England aren't exactly weak there either (Lampard and Gerrard are on fire, and Scholes is always a threat). Beckham could get the better of an ageing Lizarazu down the right flank as well. England only have one international class striker though (Owen), we need another striker to step in and make an impact in this tournament.

I think Alan Thompson should be in the Euro 2004 squad. He is the only left-sided English player I can think of who is experienced, can cross the ball, tackle, score and is in form. He has proven he can score at the highest level, his single goal knocking Barcelona out of Europe. His only chance to prove himself was an hour in a friendly against Sweden, and he did no wrong. Eriksson has made a mistake in missing him out of the squad.

Hoping it is Switzerland since I am from there but best bet is either Italia or France.

Very true. If Thompson was in the squad i would have a lot more faith in England but we never have a good outlet on the left who can put a first time ball into the box.

have to agree with you there. Thomson has been on great form for us this season and has delived from set pieces and open-play time after time.

He has a great work rate and (not that you'll need it) gives you another option from free kicks on goal. I was disappointed with sven's attitude towards thomson, it was as if he didn't give a fuck about him. I think in the sweden game, everything that was played went down the right and defoe had the chance to play him in and decided to keep the ball.

i get the feeling if he showed this kind of form at villa, he'd be a regular in the england team

That's what I can't stand about Sven's selection policy, he chooses players based on prestige rather than on form or on where they fit in his tactical plans. Take for example Butt, Dyer and J.Cole. Cole and Dyer are dubious selections, they're inconsistent and have attitude problems while Butt is 29 and has never been a first team regular. They wouldn't be in the squad if they didn't play for top 5 clubs. He only starting considering Scott Parker after he moved to Chelsea, and Heskey's days are probably numbered now that he's gone to Birmingham (although I would have no complaints there).

On the subject of Heskey, a better choice would be Ameobi. He's just as big, faster, holds the ball up better, can beat a man, strike the ball well and most importantly, he can score. If you look at the minutes they've played this season, Heskey has had approximately 27 games worth of football. He's scored 7 times. Ameobi has played approximately 17 games worth of football, and scored 7 as well. Neither are good enough but England are desperate for strikers, and Heskey's experience counts for little when he's consistently shit. Get Ameobi in the squad and show Heskey the door.

i'd put my money on netherlands, but then again they were also my favourites for like the last 4 big international competitions, and they won nothing who knows, maybe portugal will win it to completely break the logic

Not sure I agree. Brazil scored just before half time which was a horrible blow for England, and then came out in the second half and immediately scored a freak goal which was meant to be a cross from a free-kick. It was quite an even game which could have gone differently on another day but Brazil is Brazil and people tend to exaggerate their performances. Brazil were there for the taking but England screwed up their lead and then gave the game away with a horrendous goalkeeping error.

englands gotta make it out of the group first

id say spain, if not the dutch or french... or pray to god its the russkies then i can finally gloat about something not figureskating related
