    Spain and Portugal. Perennial underdogs who play entertaining football.

    Italy. Have some good friends who live there and I do football camps there. So I have a connection.

    yeah Spain for me, though I work with a Spanish chick an she aint the nicest person in the world!

    They play some lovely football and they are a young side with some exciting players.

    Spain or Portugal have to win something at some point :) I think Holland are an interesting gamble though

    I don't, they're a very average (and dull) side under Van Basten.

    Spain or Portugal are definately in with a shout though.

    I agree Holland are poor side imo, Mario Melchiot in the starting eleven!?!?! get outta town!

    Surely Spain will win it this time! I think they will! Although saying that probably end up being either France, Germany or Italy.
    I will be following Spain and Portugal next summer, with a close eye also on Croatia, they fairly impressed me last night with their attitude.

    Holland is weak in defense, no doubt about it, but their attack is something impressive.

    Robben-Ruud-Van Persie
    Sneijder-Van Der Vaart

    That's a championship winning attack

    Spain's problem is trying to find a system where Xavi, Fabregas and Iniesta can all fit in. Maybe starting Iniesta on the left and allowing him to roam is the answer. If Aragones can find the answer to this problem, Spain will be an absolute joy to watch.

    No idea who'll support yet, but i think ze germans will do well, young hungry team. And always well organised and hard to beat.

    Athough I've been an Italy fan for 20 years I wouldn't mind too much if Greece pipped them at the post this year. The only team who didn't care less where they finished in the coefficients and it'd make a great headline if they could retain again. Other than those two.... have a soft spot for Russia

    It's going to be Greece again for me.

    It would have been Croatia except and can't in all conscience support a country that plays in those awful chequered jerseys.
