European Championships 2004.

[Billy_Dean]

Let's have a proper discusion this time.

I think England have a good chance if two teams go through automatically. I'm not so worried about France than the other two, given England's record against teams they are expected to beat.

Group A

• Portugal
• Spain
• Greece
• Russia

Group B

• France
• England
• Switzerland
• Croatia

Group C

• Sweden
• Italy
• Bulgaria
• Denmark

Group D

• Czech Republic
• Germany
• Latvia
• Holland

England should go through, and at least they won't have to play France in the knock-out stages unless they both get to the final.

If it's 2 to go through I would be stunned if they don't.

Do you know who the first and second from their group meet in the next round. 1st and second from which other group.

England should get through the group stages with out too much effort and if they are on form and the draw is kind to them there is no reason they can't make it to the final.

I wouldn't like to pick my favourite team to win it, but it's gonna be between England, Italy, Germany and Spain imo. Wildcard=Holland.

Like the tit for tat JP. Suits you.

I agree England should go through but as someone once said &#39;footballl it&#39;s a funny old game&#39;&#33; On paper they have a great team but will they gel and find a good balance something they haven&#39;t managed in the past? There is always a team or two that defies the odds in tournaments and rise above themselves to get further than anyone would expect, which is always the beauty of tournaments. Switzerland and Croatia on their day can match most and France have a lot to prove after the World Cup debacle. So in other words ....I dunno

@bigboab...don&#39;t go there

Group D

Czech Republic
Germany
Latvia
Holland

blow it oot yer arse billy boy, your bullshit in the other thread led to it being closed and getting someone put on moderation, after winding them (and others) up to get a reaction.

you coudlnt handle a taste of your own medicine so you grassed on them.





:teehee:

edit - this is the thread where billy boy wanted to have another of his "proper discussions"

[mrcall1969]

Well, Switzerland and France both topped their groups, so i dont think it will be as easy as people may think, Croatia are a good side too, skillfull and hard to beat.

Germany will always do well and they are my tip, along with Italy to win it.

You&#39;re right that&#39;s gonna be the game to watch, probably be as ill tempered as the last thread on this subject
