We might as well have a dedicated thread, even if there's nowt for us in it this year.

I am running an office sweepstake so my allegiance will become apparent once the name comes out of the hat. I would like Croatia (esp as they knocked Ingerland out :mrgreen: )

I'm abstaining. :evil:

I don't want to have to listen to Steve B*stard McLaren opine about other countries strengths and weaknesses because if he's such an expert, how come he couldn't manage to lead England there?

Head says Germany or Italy. Can't understand why anyone fancies Eduardo-less Croatia really.

In terms of who I am supporting....
