Euro 2008 predictions

06/07/2008 12:06 PM by Kyle Sheldon

As I sit down to watch the first Euro 2008 match between Switzerland and the Czech Republic, the team is finding their ways to TV’s to tune in. I polled the guys this morning on who they thought would be the winner and here is the break down:

France (4): Franco Niell, Fred, Gonzalo Martinez, Marcelo Gallardo (who says it will be a France-Spain final)
Germany (3): Clyde Simms, Bryan Namoff, Luciano Emilio
Italy (6): Gonzalo Peralta, Ryan Cordeiro, Domenic Mediate, Tom Soehn, Dave Kasper, Jaime Moreno (who said “I don’t want them to win, but they’re too good”)
Holland (2): Marc Burch, Santino Quaranta
Portugal (4): Jose Carvallo, Devon McTavish, Chad Ashton, Ben Olsen
Russia (1): Rodion Dyachenko (who was born there and said he couldn’t pick against them)
Spain (2): Mark Simpson, Zach Wells 
 
So, no one picks any of the following: Austria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Greece, Poland, Romania, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey. 
 
Who do you like? Who are you rooting for?

    I like Spain and Portugal but Italy is going to win. Germany and Italy going head to head. They don't play beautiful but effective football. I had to upgrade my tv package to get the espn classic. damit.
    Big swiss mistake and now Czechs have scored.

    I've always liked and rooted for Spain but they seem to underachieve every tournament. Maybe this is the tournament they put it all together. Aragones is Spain's version of Steve Sampson and a dolt by leaving Raul off the roster. My pick FWIW is Germany.

    I've worked out my bracket that Germany and Spain are in the final, but we'll see...

    I'm thinking Germany this year.
