i think spain's up and comers are finally gonna give them a chance this year... fab, el nino, villa, silva are all hungry to make names for themselves.

as a gunners fan, i agree w fab -- villa would look great in an arsenal jersey.

Italy had some good chances against the Dutch. The ball just didn't seem to run for them in front of goal. Saying that the Dutch deserved to win.

I forgot to add Germany to my list of teams playing well.
bhouncy Reviewed by bhouncy on . Euro 2008 (OLĂ?!!) I can't believe there isn't a thread on this... I was shocked yesterday when the world champions fell to Holland. 3-0 walloping... That and the Portugal game fucked up my pool (5 buk iz 5 buk) I have them both in the final, Italy taking it on PKs. Personally, I think they should let Brazil into the competition, since there's already half a team of brazilians already playing in said comp. (we'd win fo sho) Rating: 5
