sermwanderer said: Wow, you got to be kidding right? Pirlo is a fantastic midfielder, with skill to burn, as well as Zanetti. Simone Perrotta will be the main man for me in midfield, and guess what? He was born in England. Coulda been the answer to your left sided midfield problem trappatoni now plays totti withdrawn into midfield, so he can play vieri and del piero up front, and accomodate all three in the team. The lack of genuine left footers for England will be a problem So i'm sticking with my original tip of ITALY! P.S How long before one of your commentators mentions 1966 in your first game? I've not seen too much of Pirlo but I've been told about him and yeah, he is good but he aint no Roberto Baggio (then again, how many are?). Zanetti isn't the Zanetti of seasons gone by either. Perrotta has come good of late but he poo pooed up when playing for Juve. .... the jury's still out on them for me but your points are valid mate. I sure hope for one thing though in this tournament... NO TROUBLE FROM OUR FANS ABROAD or for that matter, NO hooliganism of ant sorts from any fans. Fingers crossed for it all going well out there in Portugal 2004... "..My work is personal, I'm a working person, I put in work, I work with purpose.." | |

sermwanderer said: Portugal.....no. They don't have a clinical striker. The Czech Republic though have a decent shout, depends on whether Nedved can get motoring again Aye, not sure about Portugal but the Czechs, as Funkadelic said, are a good outside bet. They finished on top of their group, only conceding 5 goals and scoring 23!!! ..."DON'T FORGET OUR 'MILAN BAROS' " edit.

Zidane is having a total shocker - he's even said it himself. He needs to raise his game. Though let's face it, even a "bad day" Zidane kicks the ass of most other players. Though in my heart it's difficult to pick on someone other than England, I have to say that France and the Czech Republic are looking good for me. I might put a few quid on the Czech Republic. | |

TheFrog said: Well since i'm in the supporters' club i can't really other than the glorious 3 Lions. England all the way.
By the way, this is a cool little predictor site (had one for the last World Cup) where you predict the scores and results for each match (and other little things) and there's a running league to show who knows their footie, and who thinks that the Ardiles Flip is a style of making pancakes. My name's Wopper. All i can say is, Watch the Wopper rise. I advise any and all to sign up immediately (you can create your own mini-leagues with friends too). http://www.euro2004predictor.com Thanks for the post Froggie.I signed up and my name is "Logger"(how original ) We should form our own little mini-league at the .org and see who knows most about the beautiful game.I think France will do it myself.But they were hot contenders at the last world cup and played shite.But on current form and with their panel they would be my option..... I'm heartbroken that Ireland never made it.15th in the world and still didn't make it.Hopefully with Roy Keane now back for the world cup qualifiers we will make it to Germany. So anyone else who has filled out on this site shout out your username there. | |

looking for the YAWN emoticon. Gooey, my friend. How can you not be interested in 22 men in shorts. Not to mention all the drunk men out and about after a game. And the dutch squad will be victorious of course. Unless it's up to penalty kicks... WHAT IF THERE IS NO TOMORROW? THERE WASN'T ONE TODAY! | |
