Oh, thanks, my lovely sis.. you know Spain is kind of madness nowadays, well, actually most of you could seen it in newspapers, tv... we're so glad 'cos our team is so young (most of them are less than 30 years old... my favourite player is 21 years old, Cesc Fábregas and, for example, Fernando Torrres is too young as well or Casillas.. Iker Casillas.. I love him too!! :D

This kind of event let everybody see that young people can do more things that to just drink or something like this

lol leave mewell im happy spain won, they havent won anything since 1964 or something so...

Thanks you too, Gradon (well, actually THANKS TO EVERYBODY HERE!! ;) ) yeah, I suppose it was time for breaking the curse we had had until now. We deserved to win this Euro and I dont say it 'cos I'm spaniard (and I'm quite proud of it which I'm) if not 'cos Spain won all matchs they played: we won against Russia, Greece, Italian... and yeah, we havent won since 1964... 44 years!!

well, the next step: FIFA WORLD CUP!! We will see us, mates!!:clap:

well, putting my neck on the line, but looking at the the players france are pulling through and they should be within WC winning ways again(Ribery,Benzema,Arfa,Nasri,Gomis...etc), spain, while boasting some good talent, some of them are essentially already in the peak, while they could no doubt give it a shake, captain puyol may well forgo WC10 not to mention players like Villa,Xavi,Xabi,Senna etc will be well into their 30s, and given the influx of talents, 30 may well soon be the "moving on" phase of football, though i have heard a few good young kids from Barca and Real coming through that could well give Spain an unliekly world double, as long as they continue to play the smooth fluid attacking style, whos to stop them from claiming the double?

who?

Australia!

well...maybe not...but im allowed to dream right? :D

my friends money is on sweden if Ibrahimovic returns from injury for Inter this weekend, hes such a vital cog for their team, and they have a great strike force which is now further boosted with the return of Henrik Larrson

early favourites hafto be Portugal and France purely because of the class they currently hold. the meteoric rise of Manchester United winger Ronaldo coupled with Porto's dazzler Quaresma should make games fun to watch, France will be close, Henrys returned to some form with barca, while the rise and rise of Karim Benzema should see them do very well, coupled with other young talents Nasri and Ben Arfa and a touch of old school expierience, they are a genuine threat

dark horses hafto be croatia, who looked solid in qualifying as well as Spain and the Netherlands,germany should be up around there, theyve been solid, spain have in form Liverpool hitman Torres as well as a star studded midfield including no less than...Xavi(Barcelona),Cesc Fabregas(Arsenal),Iniesta(Barcelona),Alonso(Liverpool) as well as a host of other classy players in defence like Cassilas and Ramos from Real Madrid and captain puyol from Barca

im really gunning for Portugal seeing as Ronaldos had a dazzling season, but Spain always play some of the best attacking football. its certainly shaping as a great tournament and i cant wait to watch the matches :D one thing im looking forward to is to finally see Klaas Jan-Huntelaar finally playing for the Dutch side, he was left out of WC06, cant wait to see this goal machine play against other goal machines like Ibrahimovic,Ronaldo...etc

sweet another czech supporter

Ive usually had a soft spot for sweden and netherlands as well lol

I really don't know who to predict a win, it's anyone's game really aside from 3-4 teams that are not good enough for it

although look at denmark in 92

compared to older years i think czech's lost some quality. People see Portugal as favs due to ronaldo's amazing performance lately but i think portugal is not as good as a team as france or germany. France has a lot of young players like Nasri. Croatia we shud remember knocked out England so theyre a team to watch out for too. And netherlands is always fun to watch!

yeah I dont see Portugal doing the trick really, I mean all they've got now is Ronaldo, and if they struggle he'll break easily or start whining or doing his usual things like falling to the ground when no opponent is even near him

he's a good player and all but he has no integrity or decency as a player

pshh, anyone who bothers to watch a full United match will know hes one of the best, and his integrity is as matched as to anyone elses, yes he may go down easily, but in all honestly, who doesnt now a day? example: the russians in the uefa cup final went down WITHOUT being touched, not to mention alot of other antics from around the world, its purely because hes such a high profile star that hes unfairly treated, not many people actually realise the treatment he does recieve, theyre too focused on his so called antics without so much as a look at the other challenges(e.g he had his chest stamped on by manchester Citys michael ball, he picked himself up and kept going istead of having a whinge) ,yes ronaldos had a few problems, but this season and last has been a real step up for him, hes matured, hes involved alot more of his teamates, hes matured in his presence on the park, hes had glowing assesments from those watching,those playing with AND against him, poeple seem to forget he was absolutely magical at euro04, and generally for portugal he brings out some of his best

anyone who thinks Ronaldos on his own when it comes to ANY form of anitcs should pull their heads out of their arses

and portugal aint ur average one man band, sure ronaldos had a stunning season not to mention hes done ALOT for portugal, scoring CONSISTENTLY as well during qualification, but they do have other starlets in their squad like Quaresma from FC Porto,Deco from Barcelona, Bosingwa(Chelseas new 17mil signing), Carvalho from Chelse,Moutinho and Veloso from Sporting, Pepe from Real Madrid,Simao from Athletico, as well as Manchester United teammate Nani
