I would have said Japan, but that's not one of the choices.
I think either Germany or Czech Republic!

I'd Say that England or Spain will win the Euro 2008 cause they are both good teams.

Well England have managed to win their opening 2 games of this tournament which they haven't done in 10 years, Germany have had an easy couple of games winning 4-nil and an amazing 13-nil, but their oposition wasn't of a high calibre.

Germany are an awesome team and if England play them i should hope we dont get bet like 4-0 or 13-0 but england can play ace at times.

I don't know if this is always true but I like to look at the motivations to play hard, and try to win, behind the team. In 2002 Brazil won which sort of makes up for their rough finals in 1998. The 2004 Euro tournament was won by Greece. It is not likely that they will win again this time but they won because they wanted it and played hard, they were underdogs and no one gave them a chance against the host and all the soccer powerhouses. Then in 2006, Italy proves that they are a great soccer nation right now and takes some attention away from worrying about scandals that were going on in Italian soccer.
So which team do I think can be motivated enough to maybe win? England is a good pick. Two straight losses in the Round of 8 of Euro 2004 then World Cup 2006, the end of some great players careers coming eventually like Beckham, a new generation on the rise that in 2008 could be even better, like Rooney and Aaron Lennon, and the fans pulling to finally get a spot in a big final match that England deserves.

I don't know them that well, but it is true how you can get to know them and guess who can win. One time I guessed who'd win the Superbowl just cause I watched the pre-game show!

Well lets hope we do better in the Euro 2008 this time and not like the last world cup we played in.

The only reason we lost that game was because we had Wayne Rooney sent off, this was a valid reason and should have had a match ban. Greece did win the last major football event and the opening game was the same as the final. Robert have you forgotten that England have managed to beat Germany 5-1 in an amazing game? Joint hosts Austria and Switzerland qualify automaticallyGroup A |   | Portugal | 15-1 | Poland | 51-1 | Serbia & Mont | 67-1 | Belgium | 101-1 | Finland | 251-1 | Armenia | outsiders | Azerbaijan | outsiders | Kazakhstan | outsiders |
Group B |   | France | 8-1 | Italy | 8-1 | Ukraine | 26-1 | Lithuania | outsiders | Georgia | outsiders | Faroe Islands | outsiders | Scotland | 201-1 |
Group C |   | Greece | 41-1 | Turkey | 51-1 | Norway | 67-1 | Bosnia | 151-1 | Hungary | outsiders | Moldova | outsiders | Malta | outsiders |
Group D |   | Czech Republic | 17-1 | Germany | 8-1 | Slovakia | 151-1 | Cyprus | outsiders | San Marino | outsiders | Wales | 251-1 | Rep. Of Ireland | 67-1 |
