You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.

Spain will cock up as per - German efficiency to win the day, I reckon.

Russia are a dark horse, to be fair - similar to Croatia in that they are a very good 'technical' side so they might do well if they get the right draw in the knock out.

HUP HUP HOLLAND!!!

Image

Blimey she looks like the Dutch lass who was sat behind a mate of mine at an England game. When England scored she grabbed my mates head tightly against her chest. England scored again & the same thing happened again only with added jumping up & down. When she let him out of her tight embrace & he let go of her derriere. My mate nearly stumbled over from the shock but with a big smile on his face said " Please tell me I've got two black eyes " I looked back at him rather puzzled and asked why would you want two black eyes?

"So that people will ask me how I got them" was his response. Quality

Alas it all ended in tears as she did the same to a Portugeuse bloke when they scored & we lost double Dutch indeed
If I should die, think only this of me:
That there's some corner of a foreign field
That is for ever England

Portugal are my adopted team this year!

Think the trophy will be going to either Portugal or Germany! You can't write those steely German b&stards off!

Think Russia will do a good job.


But have a strange affinity with the Scandies - so Sweden gets my support.

I like the Swedes (esp now King Henrik is back), but got the Ruskies in the sweep. They're 33-1 at the bookies...not much faith in their ability from there!

Forgive my laziness, but are there actually any Bolton (or at least almost Bolton-related) representatives in Euro 2008?
