Starting tomorrow with the inaugural match between the local team, Portugal, and Greece. I'd bet for a Portuguese win, but it'll be harder than expected.

Group A
Greece
Portugal
Russia
Spain

Group B
Croatia
England
France
Switzerland

Group C
Bulgaria
Denmark
Italy
Sweden

Group D
Czech Republic
Germany
Latvia
Netherlands

As you know, two teams per group qualify for the 1/8 Finals. My money would be in Portugal and Spain (A), England and France (B), Italy and Denmark (C), Czech Republic and Germany (D). For the final victory, the only team I think is clearly superior is France.

I'm hoping Portugal loses all its matches, because I hate my national team for not having Baía and not starting Ricardo Carvalho (fuck you Scolari, I hope you get raped by a dog). But we won't lose all our matches, it's obvious the refs will help us, because if they don't, the stadiums will be empty.

There's no way Denmark will beat us, you asshole.

Also, i think Russia could take the second place before either Portugal or Spain. (whichever one chokes the most)

...And i think Holland will qualify.

Isn't it quarterfinals?

There are 8 qualified teams, 4 games.

Err. Fuck.

I don't care if Larsson went back to the national team, I still prefer Tomasson and Gronkjaer.

And Nilson? Didn't that guy play in USA'94 too? How old is your team?

Quoted from drahnier:

I think the FIFA might show a special interest in Portugal and Spain qualifying.

Quoted from drahnier:

Yes, that's a possibility. But the Czech Republic is very strong, and no matter how bad Germany is, everybody knows they will qualify anyway.

First of all, you spelled his name wrong.
Second of all, there is only one "Nilsson" in the Swedish team and it's not the same one that played in 94.

Way to know your facts, man.

Even if god almighty himself descended from heaven and slayed all the other teams with his flaming sword of gold, Spain still couldn't do well in a big tournament.

They'd choke because of the pressure and manage to miss the undefended goal in all their games.

That's where i agree with you.

I think Germany will take the whole tournament.

Spain will choke like usual and not make it out of their group. It is like a written rule that Spain must choke in every important tourney they are in. If they don't choke in this then something is severely wrong and I will be going to a bomb shelter and assuming that armageddeon is coming.

GO PORTUGAL! Hahaha. Seriously guys way to go. Do you not like to advance or something? I guess we know which team out of Spain and Portugal is going to choke early this year. Of course Spain may still decide to join them.

Yeah, Portugal are out now if they don't manage to beat Spain.
And even if they do, they might not make it.

P.S. You were right about the goalkeeper, antpocas.
Maybe it would be better if you coached the team.

I know my NT too damn well to be wrong about pretty much anything on it. And believe it, it probably would be better off with me as a manager (10 Champions Leagues, 10 European Supercups, 10 Portuguese Superleagues, 10 Portuguese Cups and 10 Portuguese Supercups in 10 seasons with Porto in CM03/04 coal

I think there are more Nilssons in Sweden than Sanchez in Spain. The guy seems to be 25 years old, according to my sources.

OK, Portugal 1-2 Greece.
Portugal's defense was a fucking joke. Andrade is usually great, but today he was absolutely horrible. Not to speak about Paulo Ferreira. Only Figo tried to do something. They were too nervous.
Greece, while unable to conceal their total lack of skill, knew what they had to do to win, and did it nicely. They were very confident. Still, Charisteas pissed me off, that guy's a cancer.

Spain 1-0 Russia.
Even though Casillas and Helguera did fairly well, Bravo and Raúl proved that Real Madrid is a fucking tumor. Ugh.
Also, Vicente is great.
The game itself was rather boring.
Kudos for Smertin.
I laughed at Izmaylov (pronounced like "is my love").

Scolari is mental, he didn't start Ricardo Carvalho and Deco. Paulo Ferreira was just bad, I never saw him play like this. The only players that actually did something were Deco and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Oh my god that was hilarious. France losing 1 - 0 on the injury time, and Zidane sending two in, one from a freekick and one from a penalty. Quite the turnaround.

That really was an awesome game.

I was entirely too enthusiastic when they came back and won it. I had a bet down that they would win 2-1...and then in one minute they save said bet.

I missed that game, I was playing basketball with my friends. Was it really that good? Not just the end, I mean the whole game.

I'm looking forward to today's Italy-Denmark. I'd bet for a tie, 1-1 or something like that.

I thought it was quite dull, England sat back after they went ahead and France weren't much of an attacking threat, despite having the better of the possession. The last minute drama was what made it entertaning.

My brother told me I just missed some pretty awesome saves by the Denmark keeper (just got home). So far, on the streets, I've seen dutch, denmarkpeople, german and english. And this is for a village that's a few km from Porto. I can't imagine Gaia, Porto and Lisbon.

The game ended up being tied at 0, but it was the best Euro game yet. Buffon and Soerensen were definately the men of the match, with some excellent goalkeeping.
