Spain; Euro Champs

[TheKingNut]

I know people will destroy me for this, but I'm backing Spain for Euro 2008. Torres is coming off the back of a great season. There midfield, for me, is probably the most technically gifted in the world.  Put that with a great goalkeeper, and a decent backline, I think they have what it takes.

Oh and by the way, Croatia will go out with a whimper...mark my words

I don't think you'll hear too many complaints with your predictions.

I too think that Spain will do well this year. I see them in the semi-finals. The only problem I think they may have is the lack of a true defensive midfielder. They have quality central midfielders but there is no true defensive mid that can do the dirty work. I really think that this has been their problem over the past few years.

Croatia will fall out in the group stages I think. The lack of Eduardo will hurt them, and their recent form hasn't been special.

Finally we can agree on something, Adi  :thumbsup:

They dont lack skill. Spains problem is that they are not united as a country should be. Catalans, basques etc. They dont have same spirit as other countries from what I have understood and seen.

jonte good point there...but yeah i'ver alawys been a spain fan since my parents have strong ties to spain, and I'll stick with them no matter what. Even iof I werent a fan, I would predict a Spanish win. They have loads of talent, young, but with enough experience to make good decisions, not like in 2006.

They won't make it past the quarters.

For the most, all your posts are really really bad. You struggle to make it through a sentence without sounding like a complete idiot. Your views and opinions are vague and unfounded.

the expression is 'for the most part.' And melbourne doesn't like me because I support my religion and its country. Also, your sentence structure is far more ponderous than mine.
