he said that England should get behind Poland because of the massive amount of poles here in the same way it got behind ireland (where i'm from) at usa 94. I thought 'that sounds like a nice idea'. it will never happen though.
i'm still in awe of the way they turned us over in the qualifications for this. they played like a real football team and my sense of national identity (whatever it is) does not get in the way of admiration.
Italy
It's in my blood, blah blah blah etc.
czech republic
...for the same reason blaaah.
netherlands.same as every euro/world cup
Yay! It's not just me!
Dutch Dissers FTW!
whoever plays the most entertaining football
it'll be quite nice to be impartial, actually.
None of the above
Germany
Sweden as well.
what will your support involve?
Spain
I'm sick of watching them do ridiculously shit in every major tournament despite always having one of the strongest teams.
Frustrating.
I also like Holland & Czech Republic
And I want Portugal to crash and burn.
I just hope that at the end of the day, football will be the winner
I'm hoping the police
will be the winners. Water cannons a plenty
Hopefully, without England there
UEFA will finally realise how bad Turkish fans are and the Police will give them a pasting
nah I hope
they Turkish fans act impeccably as do the Italians, Germans etc and that water cannons and riot police are sent to Croydon instead
Poland
closest thing to a 'home nation' we have.
^why's that then?
I have a polish colleague at work
he said that England should get behind Poland because of the massive amount of poles here in the same way it got behind ireland (where i'm from) at usa 94. I thought 'that sounds like a nice idea'. it will never happen though.
Germany.
My grandma is from Bremen.
It's all about the Anschluss match.
In 1938 only one man could bring them together, 70 years on...
...the bloodening.
starring josh hartnett. out june 2008
I fear that Group B has bloodening written all over it.
I'm supporting Netherlands
because I'm of Dutch heritage.
Followed by Sweden.
Spain
because my dad is from spain. and carles puyol.
Every team
that'll play against France !
as opposed to "anyone but England"
which is the ususal mindset for Scots, I shall be opting for "anyone but Italy".
Ta.
croatia...
i'm still in awe of the way they turned us over in the qualifications for this. they played like a real football team and my sense of national identity (whatever it is) does not get in the way of admiration.
or spain cos i used to go on holiday there alot.
Germany
If only because I have gradually warmed to Michael Ballack. They do have a ridiculously easy draw though, which slightly devalues things.
germany of course.
We discuss Germany-Croatia at Hefner.
alright!
My money's on
Portugal
Germany, Sweden, Croatia and Holland
I'm determined to have a team that I follow have some success, so I'm following 4.
Or 16. We'll see how many lose horrifically in their first matches.
