Spain to win hopefully.

 

[Duke]

Meh, I am looking forward to the tourney, but I'm very nervous as to how my country will perform. For a change we're not one of the favourites. Fucking tough group.

 

[Farzin]

^Yea thats one hell of agroup.

For italy and France to go head to head at that early stage should be fun.

I'd say France is gonna come out as the winner but Zidane is gone so it also depends who fills his shoes.

 

[Bobby Sands]

^^Ribery might step up to the mark.

I cant wait for it.

 

[Sebastian]

Cant think of any tournament in the past 15 years where germany had a better chance to win it. Although, of course, there are teams that can beat us.

 

[Bachaveli]

Theres a difference between who you think will win and who you want to win.

It would be helpful for someone to post official roster for teams like France, Italy, Germany, Spain, and Netherlands.

 

[Duke]

^ you mean players or playing schedules?

 

[Bachaveli]

Official squad, the players who made the tournament.

 

[Duke]

I don't think that's known yet. Not 100% official anyway.

 

[Flipmo]

I know Croatia's squad was named.

Goalkeepers: Stipe Pletikosa (FC Spartak Moskva), Vedran Runje (RC Lens), Mario Galinović (Panathinaikos FC).

Defenders: Dario Šimić (AC Milan), Robert Kovač (BV Borussia Dortmund), Josip Šimunić (Hertha BSC Berlin), Vedran Ćorluka (Manchester City FC), Dario Knežević (AS Livorno Calcio), Hrvoje Vejić (FC Tom Tomsk).

Midfielders: Niko Kovač (FC Salzburg), Jerko Leko (AS Monaco FC), Darijo Srna (FC Shakhtar Donetsk), Niko Kranjčar (Portsmouth FC), Luka Modrić (Tottenham Hotspur FC), Danijel Pranjić (SC Heerenveen), Ivan Rakitić (FC Schalke 04), Ognjen Vukojević (NK Dinamo Zagreb), Nikola Pokrivač (AS Monaco FC).

Forwards: Mladen Petrić (BV Borussia Dortmund), Ivica Olić (Hamburger SV), Ivan Klasnić (Werder Bremen), Igor Budan (Parma FC), Nikola Kalinić (HNK Hajduk Split).

Reserves: Manuel Pamić (FC Salzburg), Anas Sharbini (HNK Rijeka).

Surprises for me is, Kalinic, Sharbini, Pamic and Pokrivac. These kids are really young, but have an immense talent, Kalinic and Sharbini being one of them.

 

[Sebastian]

Germanys squad is gonna be announced on friday.

 

[Bachaveli]

I think this disqualifies you for the rest of the thread.

 

[Flipmo]

Why isn't Eduardo not on the squad flipmo?

Where have you been man? lol.

Didn't you see what happened to him? A month ago, Birmingham's Martin Taylor tackled him and broke his leg. Dudu's bone was popping out the skin and everything. It was a big deal. He's going to be out for a full year.

You can see the tackle on youtube.

 

[Bachaveli]

oh yea that was him. I forgot about that lol. I thought it was some other Brazilian dude.
