As much as i support the English football team, i know they are in pretty bad shape at the moment and i doubt that they will make it far into the tournament, but still i'll root for them.

i would actually be cheering Ireland on but they are in the same group as Italy :( maybe they could finish 1st and 2nd. would be nice.

Id love that, but itll be tough to beat Spain. I think itll be Spain and Italy but Im holding out hope for my Irish.

Oh you do love to be against me, don't you?

U-S-A! U-S-A! We're going to win every match!!!

But, seriously. If there's ONE team that's not in the tourney that you wish had qualified, which one is it?

For me, it's Scotland. Love them.

ye Spain will be tough the only hope i see is that they lost that first World Cup game vs the Swiss in '10. Maybe it can happen vs Ireland.

Agreed, because of my Irish-Scottish heritage, so I root for both teams. Also wouldnt have minded seeing Turkey theyre usually pretty fun to watch.

Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slovakia and Switzerland would be up there but if i had to chose one would have to be Belgium great young team.

Yeah good point, plus they lost to the US in '09 at the Confed Cup so they definitely can be beat.

Yea, Belgium's another one of my faves. Scotland and Belgium are straight G.

How else would it be? LOL, it's been like that for the past 6 years.

Scotland vs Czech Republic

The bullshit in the last couple of minutes of this game is a big reason we didn't get a playoff spot in our group.

These are the Euro 2012 Odds via paddypower.com
Spain 5-2
Germany 10-3
Netherlands 7-1
England 10-1
France 12-1
Italy 14-1
Portugal 18-1
Russia 20-1
Croatia, Ukraine 40-1
Poland, Czech 50-1
Sweden 66-1
Ireland, Greece 80-1
Denmark 100-1

I'd put my money on Portugal and England, easy.
