Euro 2008 has started yesterday. And all those kaki bola will have something to watch everyday now that at least two matches are played every night. I’m sure everyone has their preferences of who’s going to win. Personally, I don’t know who has the potential to win, but I really favour German and Italy team. Too bad that England did not qualified for this championship. What has happened to the England team, I don’t know. I was disappointed that they are not in. Well, maybe this will give them a chance to train properly for the World Cup qualifying round and really perform in 2010.

I am a football fan and even though England is not playing, I still watch some matches and support any team that has the potential to win that particular match. And tonight, I will probably stay up to watch Germany vs Poland. Go Germ!

Although I may not know some of the players, (e.g. I dont know any of the Czech Republic players but I still support them in yesterday’s match anyway), I have my personal preferences of the teams going to the quarter finals. So here goes my prediction.

Group A: Czech Republic, Switzerland, Portugal, Turkey – Czech Republic and Portugal

Group B: Germany, Poland, Austria, Croatia – Germany and Crotia

Group C: Italy, Holland, Romania, France – Italy and France

Group D: Greece, Sweden, Spain, Russia – Greece and Spain

*Predictions made are based on instinct. Haha. I’ve told you I don’t know the players except for some.

So, will Greece retain its title, or will Italy win it just like they won the World Cup two years back, or will either Switzerland or Austria make their people proud and win since they are the host? We’ll see.

Good luck to all the teams!
