Good grief.

I hope England lose all their games, I can't help it. L&P

Don't know, for some reason it's more fun (well, partly because as soon as the English team win one single game the media and the fans hype it up enormously).
We all have teams we don't like to win that much.

Love and Peace

Personally I'd don't want any single team in the championship to lose every game it plays.... Just the games it plays against England

Over the weekend I was in HMV and they're still selling "Germany 1 England 5" t-shirts and keyrings. That was in a qualifying match 3 years for a tournament where we got knocked out in the quarter finals and Germany finished as runners up. I think its time we all moved on with our lives.

If England don't win Euro 2004 then I want Holland to.

Mystic John predicts: I think we'll beat France at the weekend. It will be one nil, little Michael Owen will score and following a colossal performance at the back Jamie Carragher will become a national hero.

i want liverpool to win, me.

i don't care about international footy tho' i am looking forward to it.

i always thought it was a laugh when england got beat until i moved to wales where they care more about englands results than they do their own. i was in the westgate pub near the stadium when they beat italy 2-1 in that brilliant match, everyone piled back afterwards but the biggest cheer i heard all night was when the england (who lost) score was announced.

so as long as the footy is good i dont care who wins.

yeah it's the same in ireland when england lose. Even though can you blame us? the last time the english came, they ripped up our national stadium, an we haven't played them since, and if I recall, the fans have pulled some dodgy manouvres in France and other spots. The stoopid, anti-german rhetoric in the german press pretty much wrecks my head too. I wish Ireland were playing, but they aint! so I'll just watch it for the craic.

[ciaranm]

err I meant to say tabloid press there

[paulwhite]

England to win

Then Italy

Then I don't care

He supported Scotland when he was little! Or so I was told first hand.

I want Italy to win, then Sweden.

Italy aren't boring all the time, who remembers Italy-Holland in the last Euro competitions? WHAT A GAME!

And Tomi, the majority of the French players with African background still grew up in France, so they're French really, they're the multicultural/multiethnic team, it's very...erm...poetic!

Love and Peace

I couldn't give a fuck how england get on. I did used to watch them away for a few years, and was even guaranteed a ticket for France 98 final if england had got there. but there was always a shite nationalist thing, now there's the band and the nouveu jolly watch england/grt btn at any sporting event 'cos they can afford too type going as well its awful. i hate the fa too so as the england side is their flagship i really can't warm to 'em anymore. and tommy boo is right about the fact we'll ram it down everyones throats for the next 50 yrs too.

TBH my club side is all that matters and i've never had the same elation or dejection with england. I'll not see much of the tournament - boo hoo -but i'd like it to be either portugal ('cos they've always been so exciting when they play, i was one gutted kid when they lost to France in euro 84, they were so class then, mind you so were the french) or 'cos they are a steal at 16/1 the Czechs.
