Tomorrow my home nation Italy (as i am 1/8 italian) begin their quest to add the euro championship to the world cup that they already hold.

Go Italia!

Agreed, I thought the score actually flattered the Poles a little.  Germany have been the most impressive side thus far, but we have yet to see many of the contenders.

Rol - sorry about the Austria result, that must have been tough when you actually were the better side on the day.  Croatia took the lead and then played crap for the rest of the match, and you guys at least got some confidence out of it I think.  Perhaps a draw with Germany and a win over Poland will be enough.

Hmm Portugal looked in my opinion the best team so far;..(but maybe I am biased =p.).

 There we go!!!! Let's go Toni!!!!

My guess on the formation: Buffon, Zambrotta, Barzagli, Panucci, Materazzi, Pirlo, Gattuso, De Rossi, Camoranesi, Di Natale, Toni...I don't think Del Piero will be a starter tomorrow, let's see what Donadoni thinks... 

Forza Italia. I really hope Italy manages to win this and takes the double but I wouldn´t be sad if Greece manages to win again which I think is out of the question but possible.

Pff screw Italy and their negative playing style. I definatly hope that the Dutch win not only because I am Dutch but because I hope that it shows that attractive, offensive football is a lot more fun then the "defense and counter" style gameplay the Italians always rely on.

But my predictions for today: France - Romania: 3 - 0 (after which the French do a great match friday against the Netherlands, then get tired quickly.)

Italy - Netherlands: 1 - 1. First tie of the EC.

Whaaah can't wait for tonight. I'm already nervous! And yeah, my Orange stuff is ready to hit the streets! I love it that we have such a nice color to identify with.

Come on you Dutchies: change those avatars!

Konichiwa: Frustrated that the Red Devils didn't qualify, you bad hooligan you?
Portugal looked good, but the Turks were horribly bad, so can't say too much about it. Germany was impressive. I've predicted a Germany - Holland final.

I think the French are very overrated. They're going to have a hard time vs Romania.

Sorry guys Italy will win :)

That was my fault, thanks to my not perfect english. 2 Goals difference were enough.

I was so sure, that this will be a very tight game, maybe 1:0 or 2:1, but actually i thought it will end with a draw. That was the game of the year for the polish team. They prepared very well, so i was very sceptical.

Well time to get my hair made tomorrow...

 Today netherlands vs Italy. I guess Italy will make it, but i won't bet this time.
