We'll beat all of you!

I support the ORANGE colour.

Should say enough, without you watching my location ;)

I used to root for the Orange (independent of my location), until I soured on them in the last World Cup...

So the Euro in 2012?

First I see Greece taking a nosedive into oblivion followed by Spain and Portugal.  Germany decides to not bail anyone out any more and chaos ensues....

But I think we are talking about 'football' aren't we!?!?!

Haha. Nice swiftus.  ;D

Anyway, I'd say that Spain is strong as always and England flops as usually. Germany is also going to be in the top3, Holland and France are both top5 teams. Maybe Russia and one of the host-countries surprises.

And yeah, we Finns did not make it to the Euro2012 but next time we will!

Not this time, England have no expectation of themselves this year, that is why, the country that created football, is going to take it home.   8)

Talking about EuroChampionship 2012...

HOW THE HELL DID ISRAEL GET IN?!?!

Not meaning to be racist or so, but they are NOT in Europe... I mean Turkey is also not in, even though half their population lives in Germany and parts of their country are actually in Europe (e.g. Istanbul)...

I guess Israel is just in for political correctness, because otherwise they would go and cry again about antisemitism, we know that old story ::)

Anyways, I am not for any team... many of the German players performed crappy in the national leagues, and thus don't deserve a win, Orange is only worn by trashmasters, and France -seriously, one can't support France...-, English football was never any great ( :P ) Italy and Spain are the only ones, that would somehow deserve a win, but I am not enough related to their nations as to vote for them...

Good luck to anyone, we'll see who makes it. Drop me a line who won, I am too busy with AWS as to watch football ;D

Because they are a member of UEFA, just like Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkey.

Even funier is that Morocco once participated in Eurovision Song Contest, because their national broadcaster was an EBU member

IIRC they weren't playing against good players either (and I think all of them were draw, right?) just before World Cup 2010, but they still managed to get into the finals.

I lived in England for 10 years..I was always equally surprised by the England fans when England tumbles out of a championship. It's still just 2 world wars and 1 world cup..! heh. But perhaps the lack of expectations this year is good. They do deserve it I feel, and I'm no big football fan. Shame I don't live there for this one, always a good time in the pub during the games.

As a Norwegian, I obviously can't care about football, we're just s***.

Probably... :'(

Hopefully Portugal will think we suck and then BAM 2-0 (wishful thinking I guess)

It's incredible that there's no tv coverage here in Argentina if you don't have HD or Direct Tv  :P. Given that we are real football nuts I was in the belief that at least one of the 6 sport channels in my local cable would broadcast it.
