Nice work on the OP. With no England I just want to watch some great games and lots of drama involving Ronaldo :lol

Support Austria

They have a severe lack of supporters.

That's because most of them jump of a bridge once they've seen Austria play.

It's grammatically correct, though it's Oranje with the -n. But really, I wouldn't say that out loud anywhere. :lol It's better to say something like: Lik mijn reet, moffen. ;)

Isn't it just ugly?

This on the other hand:

Either Italy or Croatia will win the tournament.
My fantasy team needs this. Italy mainly but I've got a Croat in my back 4 (Corluka).

Can I brag in here about my Fantasy League performance?
What good is a fantasy team if you can't brag about it.

Plus I didn't prohibit it in the OP.

One of my nerdier passtimes is vexillology and as a world renown impartial observer I must say Portugal's flag is ugly as sin.

It is however distinctive. The Netherlands' flag not so much with the orange gone from it.

No no, you're getting Ashton, but unfortunately England aren't in it :(
Its not because he could be joining us, its because he's algerian.

Zidane, benzema, nasri...we algerians produce france's greatest.

i think i will support the Netherlands....they have the right balance of a good team but they also always fail at the second last hurdle :lol

I'm swedish so I root for sweden. Even though I hate our worthless commie bastard of a coach. But I fear we won't make it out of the group stage.

Aside from that I always root for Holland, but my pick ftw is Spain. Have a feeling they'll get over their championship jitters this time.
yeah right

I found this site for all the english people who cannot support their team.
Its about supporting the dutch team! I mean what is the difference? we have a lion on our shirt and we have a queen as well, and it surely beats clapping for germany and france ;)

As for my actual prediction, Spain have the best goalkeeper(by a mile and a half) the best midfielder, and the best striker. The rest of their players are little less than world class(puyol, villa, sergio ramos, iniesta, xavi, albiol, guiza) so on paper they're pretty clearly the strongest team.

However spain is useless. And France has the ribbs, henry, benzema, and uhhh... not their two best defenders. they have boumsong. they'll fail.

italy haven't changed too much from their last squad(totti the most important omission) which managed to win a world cup, but they're a bunch of lame pussies so they wont win. haven't got the heart or the bollocks.

the dutch appear to have more strikers than they know what to do with. they'll probably all be fucked out of their mind on pot though so they will fail.

germany have a very good side, and they're german. this could be considered homecourt advantage and germany uses that like a mofo.

therefore I predict:

dutch out the group
spain and france lose in build up
germany italy final with germany winning

I expect the Dutch to kick seven shades of shit out of the Italian nancy-boys.
With that *tenacious* defending of theirs.

If we make it past the group stages we should make it to the final. The worst that could happen along the way would be a match against Portugal or the Czech republic.

We can't face Italy or France until we reach the final.
