If the French Come to play I can't see anyone getting Near them ....
I think Spain have the side to win Euro 2004.. They included 8 defenders in the squad, and only really need 1 attacker in Raul.. I think they can go a long way in this comp..
At $7.50, not bad odds for a good team

I'm not a huge soccer follower so I need help here - why wouldn't Portugal win it at home?

The French don't have the BEST defense, but their Forward/attacking Midfielders are a Cut above the rest..
And Plus i would prefer a 4-3 win over some of the defensive Crap i have seen some sides ( Including Italy)throw up in Major championships ...

Are the Netherlands any good? Was thinking of having a crack at them. They have hookers in shop windows over there, so their soccer team must be alright.

My point is that i reckon Italy without doubt have the #1 defence, their forwards are right up there with the best, and their midfield whilst not #1 is still above average. My hunch is this is Italy's comp, they were extremely unlucky not to win it last time remember. Big comps are usually won by great defences (brasil aside) and italy fit that bill for me.

They are 2nd favourites and a good chance. Will most probably meet England or France in the Quarter Final which will be a big test. Portugal and Spain are 2 countries who have the players to win but maybe not the temperament to make it the whole way.
I also think Italy's defence can win them the cup.

I look forward to the next installment from the Italian Excuse Cupboard when they dont win it.
For what it's worth.
Whoever gets through from The France/England group.

I waited till italy's first game then i was going to back em, but they were so deplorable that i decided they were **** and not worth punting. Haven't even had a bet but i'm contemplating England now.

After reading over the posts on this thread, I've come to the conclusion that all of you people know nothing about soccer... or you're shocking tipsters - one of the two.
I'm happy at this stage having backed both Portugal and Sweden at nice odds...I hope to have one in the final but I can't see either beating France...hopefully the Czech's might roll them in the semi's because I can't see the Greeks beating them....

I did but not because of skill, more lack of time to get down and place the bet. I would've backed them otherwise. I can't tip the winner of this comp for ****. Netherlands now for me, go RUUUUUUUUUUD!

Interesting how you can belittle others but 'suddenly > in a Dennis Commetti voice' you're like a cork in the ocean ...out of depth' time to push off and join BF's tool of the week > BF's very own Pablo 'SA' Forlan.

That's a jolly good question..seems the bookmakers didn't have enough takers on Portugal initially so they raised the odds to get some nibbles. I doubt they will be $7.50 after this morning. Good Luck with your punting.

Woke up saturday morning with a $20 win ticket on netherlands in my kick, cannot for the life of me remember putting it on, price is $5.50. Not confident, the Czechs look awesome.
