    Well, now that we're gone who are you shouting for in Euro 2012?

    For me: Ukraine. (No choice in my gaff).

    (This needs a poll but I don't know how to set that up)

    England - it is a nation where I have relations, and like most of the people. F*ck the knee jerk anti-English.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,116 ✭✭✭Professional Griefer


    England.

    Would love to see Poland or Denmark win it though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,139 ✭✭✭flanzer


    England purely because the support we have for their league teams.

    Also, aren't Gerrard and Rooney's grandparents Irish?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,255 ✭✭✭Renn


    Italy. Because they'll win it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 88,972 ✭✭✭✭mike65


    They'll need to get out of the group first, wouldn't bet on that.

    Why not be dispassionate observers? :)

    Toss up between Poland and Germany for me, I backed Germany, I always enjoy watching Germany and I think they have a great chance at winning this.

    But you gotta support your own too, and with the amount of Poles here I feel kinda connected to them :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,681 ✭✭✭✭P_1


    Poland or Germany


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,583 ✭✭✭Suryavarman


    I think I'm going to throw my support behind Germany for the rest of the tournament. Although I don't really care who wins it as long as the rest of the tournament is entertaining.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,979 ✭✭✭Vurnon San Benito


    France!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,458 ✭✭✭✭gandalf


    France & England


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,801 ✭✭✭✭Francie Barrett


    I would like to see England do well if only because everyone has written them off.

    Had a few quid on Germany before the start of the tournament, so rooting for them too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,337 ✭✭✭✭monkey9


    Yayyy!!!!!!!! Another Euro thread!!!


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 4,726 Mod ✭✭✭✭Gonzovision


    Hopefully England do well, but I have money on Spain and Germany.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,287 ✭✭✭✭ben.schlomo


    Deutschland uber alles.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,156 ✭✭✭Giggsy_


    Netherlands .. Stuck some money on them pre tournament not the greatest choice I ever made :/

    Poland, Ukraine or England.

    Poland and Germany


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,535 ✭✭✭Raekwon


    Russia - They'd deserve it for their direct approach and beautiful female supporters :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,300 ✭✭✭HazDanz


    Italy. Attractive football mixed with decent defending overall.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,558 ✭✭✭✭dreamers75


    ireland?

    Anyone of the smaller footballing nations, really. Czech, Poland, or Greece.

    Wouldn't mind seeing England win it either.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,229 ✭✭✭✭J. Marston


    I'm backing Britain.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,668 ✭✭✭Whatsisname


    I'd love to see Poland win it!

    But I've been saying for quite a while that Germany will win it..


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,591 ✭✭✭ambid


    Germany, they play some great football

    If England win we'll never hear the end of it

    In fairness I don't think we can criticise anybody else on that. The Irish media goes on incessantly about our successes and talk about them for years and years. How often has Houghton's header in Stuttgart been replayed over recent weeks? Or Giant's stadium in 94? Or McAteer's goal to beat the Netherlands in Lansdowne in 01?

    It's fair enough to celebrate our successes, but lets not pretend the English are any worse than us for going on about any success they have.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 774 ✭✭✭stealinhorses


    Anyone but Spain would make me happy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,892 ✭✭✭bizmark

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,191 ✭✭✭BKC


    Germany... have a bet on them.

    :)


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 15,694 Mod ✭✭✭✭dfx-


    Any team with Iniesta in it. :cool:

    So Spain, but I was 'supporting' them from the start really.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,405 ✭✭✭xtal191


    Italy as always but hope England do well.


  • Registered Users Posts: 441 ✭✭Rich11

    Jesus, that Sun ad galls me, banging on about that goal, but is it always necessary to finish it with '....put the ball in the back of the ENGLISH net!'. He did it against Italy as well, but that's rarely mentioned. It's definitely pointed and I cringe when I hear it.

    I'd be okay with England winning, but I'd be up for France or else some crack euro sides like Ukraine and Russia. Something not outrightly obvious and fancied.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,386 ✭✭✭d22ontour


    Don't really care.

    More quality games with more refs waving play on to drama queens rolling on the floor.

    Or Russia to get me my money back in a sweep. :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,326 ✭✭✭S28382


    Greece!!!! sure jayus tis bad enough they are being kicked out of one euro so we should let them have this one.:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,478 ✭✭✭✭gnfnrhead


    Germany and Russia are two sides I quite like. I intend to be neutral for the rest of the tournament but they would be my preferred winners. Want England to get out of the group and do well, but I'm not sure if I want them to win. Don't really want to see Terry or Cole lifting another trophy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,887 ✭✭✭Deeper Blue


    Spain

    This is the one team i don't want to win. Poland, or - if they can't - Germany.

    Russia, as they proved with Poland - no chance to be the winner.

    Anything can happen, but Germany is my bet, and i do like what they play. I like Gomez, too - proved himself to be capable of scoring, unlike Ronaldo and Van Persie, and...
    Germany plays nice, offensive football at the moment. I do like Spanish style, so would like to see those two teams in the final.
    Hate to see England (Chelsea deffensive style) there, as there is nothing worse than 10 guys kicking the ball out of the penalty area every 2 minutes or so.
    France isn't bad too now - Ribery is great player, if Benzema does the trick, they can achieve something, but no - we do not support them!
