    Can't believe Spain are being tipped. Biggest bottlers ever

    France or Germany for me.

    Good shout above about Switzerland. They have been solid at this level for the past six years and home advantage counts for so, so, much.

    I dont know why but i really think Spain will finally do it this year.

    Just been given an apartment in Basel for the month of June, now only to arrange some tickets... :)

    Spain if they had a decent manager, like Del Bosque. Unfortunately they're stuck with Aragones who will probably mess their chances up again, as he did against France at the World Cup.

    Greece to win it.

    Can't believe no-one is tipping Italy yet. Think they have a great chance. They've got the best keeper, as always a great defense, the best balanced midfield in Europe and with the Gatusso-Pirlo connection an understanding between the midfield engine that any team would kill for and assuming they just use one forward, L.T. can knock them in at will when he wants. They're also a team that works phenomenally well together and have the experience to go the distance

    Thought Romania had a good outside chance before the group was draw but no I wouldn't put a dime on them. Croatia as well could cause some surprises

    I tipped them in an earlier post. Definitely one of the best teams going into it.

    Spain have the best team so here's hoping that will count for something.

    Romania to do a Greece.:D

    Croatia for me, following in the footsteps of Denmark and the Greeks. I'll be half-heartedly cheering for France though, I suspect :o

    I'm picking Germany. They always seem to peak at major tournaments (ie world cup 2002).

    So they peaked as a runner up? The question was who will WIN it :p

    Well if you reread my post you'll find that I picked Germany. By saying they generally peak at major tournaments I was referring to their good form at tournaments. Lets face it they were runners up only to Brazil in 02. Not too many teams of that calibre in europe. Honestly:rolleyes:

    France beat Brazil :P Italy beat France.
    That's two there :)

    Yep, Italy are a classy side. Justified as one of the favourites:)

    Im tipping Italy. They just seem to raise their game enough at crucial times.
