The finals are less than a month away now, who's rooting for who?!

I'm a French citizen so i am of course pulling for France. Time to put down those damn Italians. But group c is the group of death so who knows.

The first match is June 7th, and from what i've heard, games will be televised in the US on Espn2 or Espn classic.

The whole thing looks like it's going to a great competition....without England.

I think France or Portugal will win it if they can keep their shit together. Sagna and Clichy being left out of the French squad is disgraceful though.

those two don't bother me much, but Trezeguet? It's known that he and Domenech don't get along, but come on! the man is on fire in the Italian league.

i think that if spain doesn't choke like always we have a good chance. good young talent. fernando torres, david villa, casillas.

^Yes, I forgot about Spain. I think they've got a shot too if they can finally get it right.

Trez not being in the squad is wack too, but the other two were basically the best in their position in the EPL this year. How could they not be there? I'm a strong believer that full-backs can have a big influence in a match and Sagna and Clichy tear shit up.

i too had forgotten about spain, but they seem to typically go out in some unremarkable fashion in tournaments.

i still don't know what i think of Domenech, whether he actually knows what he's doing or if its his players skill that has made him so successful. he seems to make some strange choices sometimes.

watching those games was frustrating as hell. i have no idea how France let that happen. But those losses don't really matter much in the end, because France is in the finals, and Scotland is not.

should France suck (as they already have) i think i'd cheer for just about anyone but Italy. Even today after France's loss, it was great seeing those cocky italians completely embarrassed.

What a match this afternoon! Watching in my university union in London, a room to one side with Italians and the other side with Dutch, incredible! One side's absolute misery, the other side's incredible delight.

That is one of the most ignorant comments ever. That happened 60 years ago. Germany has moved past that. I'm not saying forget about it. Just don't hold it against our current generation.

I am going to be so bored when euro is over, from 12-4 there is something good on tv.

anyone doing espn picks? My netherlands pick over italy put me in really good shape.

I'm rooting for the oranje despite my italian heritage.
