Guest Sophie S Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I'm looking forward to seeing Schweinsteiger play. He was great 2010, hope he still puts the same amount of work rate in! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoranBadlund Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Starting to look forward to this. Nothing compared to the season we just have been through but the whole summer night/football/vacation/beer thing is really nice. The last Euro was in 2008. Feels like ages ago but it was a really good tournament that year. I hope teams like France, Germany and Netherlands (and Spain of course, but honestly I dont see them as favourites this year) step up and give a spark to the tournament.

wormy Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 What a fucking joke. We made a sweepstakes while bored at work last night. I get Spain in the test run. Put my two quid in, pick a new one... Poland. Cunts. "test run" in a sweepstake? WTF Wasn't a planned test run. It was sat there. We were bored. We started picking names out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATB Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 David Villa @Guaje7Villa I've tried, but I can't be 100% to play the Eurocup. I called Vicente del Bosque to say him. It's the honest thing I could do Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Spain to crash in the quarters I reckon. With Villa out it will be like watching Barca this season, only without Messi. Too many of their squad have had crap seasons - plus Puyol out injured too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 The French hype is odd to me. The team hasn't gotten out of its group in the last two major tournaments and has performed at a very average level throughout qualifiers. They have a ridiculous amount of talent as always, but there is no evidence of them making things work as a cohesive side, which is clearly the most important thing in international football.

Ameritoon Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 All you need to garner hype in an international tournament is a lot of talent, I wouldn't be incredibly surprised if they crashed out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be surprised if they're in the semifinal either. Wild card for sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't they unbeaten in 18 matches or something daft? I don't think anybody's hyping them up that much tbh, but they're a good outside bet away from the major 3. All it takes is for things to click at these tournaments and they've certainly got the players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
