Shaggy Jenkins Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 Well the Scottish Sun is trying to unite the nation behind Croatia. Should the might of Pie and Bovril lend its weight behind this campaign or should we come up with an alternative team? I have always liked the Croatians and will prob be rooting for them………….and everyone else playing Engerland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaggy Jenkins Posted June 9, 2004 Author Share Posted June 9, 2004 Stuff this in the Euro 2004 forum I want Spain to win Yea, but it would never get read there and it is such an important topic that could divide the nation, if the Sun do not get the support of THE leading football forum there rallying call could well be scuppered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 Holland, so we can say we got papped out by the eventual winners. I hope Switzerland do well, liked watching that Hakin Yakin for Basel when they were in the Champions League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SurreySaint Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 I agree with ICT Chris, we should stick with Holland. Not so bad when we were pumelled by the "to be" European Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALL HÚNS 'n' TIMS ARE SCUM Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 England I know the Media are a pain, but the last time I looked at my passport it said United Kingdom on it. I studied and worked in England, was made to feel welcome and have many English friends. Why would anyone support another country? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggio Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 Italy for me if I'm gonna pick a team to back. I love Italy as a country - there's my reasoning. haw you - get your own sig i nailed my colours to the mast weeks ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas_sjfc Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 Holland have lways been my Favourite team in the majot tournaments once Scotland are out so i'll be backing them. It would also mean that Scotland had rtecently beaten the winers. Hopefully Holland aslso go through the tournament unbeaten so that the last tram to beat them were...Scotland.

Buttocks Brown Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 Ireland beat them at the weekend Holland are struggling. Too much infighting in their squad. They're in the 'group of death'. I wouldn't be surprised if they don't get out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An Sionnach Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 Ireland beat them at the weekend Good point well made, Ruggy! Doesn't say much for us though! And it's a little disappointing that so many are using the lame 'well at least we could say we were beaten by the winners' excuse. Scotland were BEATEN 'coz they weren't good enough. We were probably saved any further embarrassing humpings in Portugal, so we should be grateful. Personally, I just want there to be good matches. But I do have a soft spot for Croatia, purely 'coz of their strip - rather like a French Restaurants' tablecloth - nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggio Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 I thought you're siggy looked good and saw David's too so thought I'd be sheep and join in!You think Del Piero will get in the starting XI for Italy? they do say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery I hope so. It depends if Italy decide to change a habit of a lifetime and play this 3 up front i was reading about at the weekend. Good bit in the Sunday Herald supplement about it. they might play 4-2-3-1 which would be quite exciting!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggio Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 If they go with two I guess Trap will pick Totti and Vieri. Have Totti and Del Piero ever started a game together do you know? Just been over to BBC Site. You are right BB, he's going with 4-2-3-1... Gianluigi Buffon Christian Panucci - Alessandro Nesta - Fabio Cannavaro - Gianluca Zambrotta Simone Perrotta - Cristiano Zanetti Mauro Camoranesi - Francesco Totti - Alessandro Del Piero Christian Vieri hmm i think they might have started together in the last few warm up games. i really hope he takes a chance on this. i've always said the Italians just need to get that defensive mentality out of there system. they have the players to do it!

David W Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 I wonder how the Spain fans would lineup. I'd got for something like: Casillas Puyol Helguera Marchena Gabri Albelda Baraja Joaquin Raul Vicente Morientes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Minertaur Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 I hope that Latvia win it. They have no chance so I'll be rooting for Switzerland, Croatia and France. I would also like Greece to do well or Bulharir as they both have a good chance of progressing through the group stages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
