Going on paper, I'd say the Germans, with Holland as runners up, but I do like to see teams that are not expected to win come through. Portugal, they lost to Turkey in a friendly, and France should at least be in the semis. I think my money is on Holland, it's about time they won a major tournament.
I also agree with you Steve on an outsider.We Portugal are meeting the big gun's early on if I beat Germany and draw Holland I think German will out of it soon.Holland does stand a big change as well it all come's down to when they meet Denmark if they win.The Turkey game was all a disgrace and a good morale booster for the team so that they don't think they take on anyone for granted I was happy they lost that one.
If Portugal can pass the group I think we got a good chance of winning or at least go to semi finals,but Im not to confindent,Germany is stronger and Holland too so its a very difficult group!!! I say Spain,Germany or Holland!
Carlos you are right Portugal did try there best and lost but it is not all over yet.But I still stick to them winning this one.Result's from this weekend Poland 1-Greece1 , Russia 4-Czech- Rep 1,Netherlands 0 -Denmark 1,Portugal 0 -Germany 1.
Russia is very strong too!!!I believe we have a great chance since Holland lost to Denmark,I believe they will not win the game against Germany...We win against Denmark and I dont know why but we always do great games against Holland so we have a great chance!!! Spain 1-1 Italia
If they play like they played today yeah without a doubt,lets see!!! BTW I said this on facebook but it was so awesome to watch that I got to say again "Ireland have the best supporters ever"...loosing for 4-0 and all that you can hear was the irish supporters voices echoing in the stadium...f´ckin awesome,it gave me goosebumps!!!

Amazing! isnt it. After losing and they all still shout proud, this is why i love being irish, When your in the country were all fighting among one another but as soon as we leave were a brotherhood.
I am very happy for Portugal getting on to the quarter final's I smell semi final soon as well.It was sad to see Ireland go out that way but like you say Sean they are good fan's if not the best in the world.Germany 2 Denmark 1 Let's see what other surprises they are going to be today I think.
i did not see italy beating germany... 2 teams in irelands group are in the finals, no wonder we lost everything
I will support Italy to beat Spain haha Sean maybe next time we will do better it's sad because we all love our country
I'm supporting Italy too,Spain is our big rival so theres no chance we can support them xD and I like the Squadra Azzurra a lot
