Italy - Hopefully they can overcome losing their best defender and captain.
Portugal - Talented but Christiano Ronaldo can't do it himself, remember he's only a midfielder
Spain - Everything right on paper but can't seem to win the big one.
Netherlands - See Spain
Croatia - Losing your best striker hurts but play tough
Sweden - Bringing back Larsson shows their desperation
Greece - If I see another 1-0 win by them again, time to gouge my eyes out
Switzerland, Austria - Wouldn't even be here if it wasn't for the host country rule
Czech, Romania, Turkey, Russia, Poland - Group Fillers with Czech the most talented of the group, always an upset lurks with these countries
France - Well, they seem to have managed to get over about Zidane and WC2006 but it's their last chance with Henry, Viera, Thuram but Ribery, Benzema and Ben Afra ready to take over
Germany - Well, this is football afterall, boring tends to win (see Greece). No true superstars other than Ballack but solid in all positions. Let's hope it doesn't end in penalties.
England is my true team but like the Leafs in Toronto, you have to hit rock bottom first to get back. England will, the Leafs well.....
Enjoy Euro 2008 everyone.
