EvilG Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 (edited) I'm not sure which team to support in Euro2008, as there are no Everton players represented there. Its easy to know who not to support (Spain). There are two teams with no EPL players in their ranks, Italy & Romania. I think I'll go for Italy to do the double... Ferreira -Chelsea. Emre - Newcastle Lehman - Arsenal Anelka -Chelsea. Carvalho -Chelsea. Tuncay -Boro Ballack -Chelsea Diara - Pompey. Ronaldo -Man U. Gallas -Arsenal. Nani -Man U. Evra- Man U. Makelele - Chelsea. Kusczak -Man U. Pogatetz- Boro. Van de Sar -Man U. Malouda -Chelsea. Fabianski -Arsenal. ooijer - Blackburn. Senderos -Arsenal. Melchiot - Wigan. Djourou -Arsenal. Gainnakopoulos -Bolton. Bouma -Villa. Baros - Villa. Van Persie -Arsenal. Cech -Chelsea. Corluka -Man City. Reina - Shite. Kuyt - shite. Modric - Spurs Arbeloa -Shite. Kranjcar -Pompey Fabregas -Arsenal. Alonso -Shite. Torres -Shite. Edited June 7, 2008 by EvilG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 Why not Spain? Because of Alonso and Torres? I'm backing Spain. I thought if anyone us Brits wouldn't want Portugal to win.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zequist Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 Since none of my first choice teams are in this year's tournament, I don't really have a huge rooting interest. I'm sort of rooting for Poland and Germany, since my grandparents came from those two countries, and Romania just because I still have fond memories of how entertaining they were at the '94 World Cup. *shrugs* But I'm not emotionally invested in any of them.

scouse Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 (edited) Dont have a vested interest in any of them, would like an underdog to win though likeRussia or Romania. Edited June 8, 2008 by scouse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 Guess I'll go with Croatia on consideration, Bilic for the Everton connection (although Materazzi learnt everything he knows at Goodison ). My mother-in-law is German JD, so I suppose my lad could claim a slight allegiance, but as she's Jewish and snuck out with her family under cover of darkness in the 30's it's maybe a non-starter with the wife .

EvilG Posted June 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 QUOTE (notashardasbigdunc @ Jun 8 2008, 6:18 PM) its like living in poland round here so maybe them It look like it'll be tough job for Poland to qualify from their group now. I'm not surprised that nobody has gone for Croatia, who look the more likely to advance from the group stage. MikeO That's a good point....they're very nearly British ! Kubica looks like he's going to win the Grand Prix as well.....go BritPoles ! Kubica was amazing, it would have been a different story if Hamilton had shunted him and not Riks. It looked like Hamo turned at the last 2nd. but hats of to bmw for pulling off an incredible 1-2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather_6 Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Spain for me.. I'd like to see Croatia and Russia do well too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everton_Worshiper Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Spain for me too, in fact £50 says spain will win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubecula Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Holland will do well I think after the showing against Italy. If I were to support someone, and I wont to be fair. Croatia, purely because of Slaven Bilic. Maybe Poland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
