So, we have been inundated with Euro 2008 threads this week, and to stop it happening for the next week, I figured let's have one thread where all Euro 2008 discussion goes.

Here you can discuss each fixture before and after they happen and show your support for a team playing.

So, until the final, this is the place for Football debate :)

Well, you definitely have a big 1-up on the sports discussion... They didn't bother to sticky that thread...:x

Anyways, Hopefully Croatia doesn't get trampled on by Germany... And I have to miss the ****ing game because of school...:x:(

Go Holland! Go Spain!

I hope either of these teams win. Did anyone see Turkey's second goal against Switzerland? Pretty awesome stuff.

I have to admit, the day of the game, everyone was trash-talking me at school... And I have to say, the next day after the game was the best trash-talking I've ever been able to do...:D:P

Lawl, Canadians cheering for the motherland since Canada sucks too much...

Spain...im suprised to see so many Portugual fans. It'll be a pity to have to beat you guys in the finals.

On a more serious note... wow Ronaldo cannot stop faking. First the Champions League and now Euro 08. So sad.

I'm going for the Netherlands! Can't beat the sea of orange. Plus, I met a couple of Dutch fans back for the 1994 World Cup and they have to be some of the best soccer fans out there.

After they outplayed the Italians, I think they're good for the next round. Wonder how they'll fare against France.

And to think that Romania is the lowest ranked team in that group at 12. Romania isn't that bad either; tied France.

True. But for France and Italy to play bad on the same day is quite something. Also quite something if the Italians lose to Romania on Friday.

Yeh, back in the day Hungary was one of the best. in the World Cup records Hungary still has the record for Highest Average of Goals Scored per match, 2.72 overall and they have records for like most goals scored, 27, highest goal difference, 17, average goals 5.40 individual world cups. Plus like single records like Most Hat Tricks, most consecutive hat tricks etc. Lol but sadly they havent been able to make many tournaments
