Re: Euro 2008
My favourite is Croatia of course, but I think Netherlands and Spain will get far in the championship.

Re: Euro 2008
Those who usually support Morocco in the African Cup can still support the French "national" team, if they aren't too racist.

Re: Euro 2008
Support Spain then, but only if you can stand Vascos and Castellanos players.
Ireland is not qualified. Croatia? They ousted England, so, why not?

Re: Euro 2008
Mynydd, what you think about Bojan Krkić (half-Serb, half-Catalan) playing in Spanish national team?

Re: Euro 2008
Sweden's team is mostly Swedish actually, believe it or not, I'm really surprised since in the mass media they always talk so much about all the immigrants in Swedish football, and I think that if it isn't already a fact they are planning to skip the limit of how many foreigners a team in the liga can have.
The Swedish national coach is a real moron in my opinion, I'm sure I could do his job better, and I'm not kidding you. I sincerely hoped that we wouldn't even make it to the EC, because maybe, just maybe, that would have caused a ruckus and maybe, just maybe, someone really competent could be responsible for the team.  But who cares, it's only sports. Sports is about the only setting where Swedes are allowed to be patriotic or show their feelings about immigration in a reckless way, although it's only allowed as a symbolism even there. When I saw a game in the liga I witnessed something that made me think about how cowardly people usually are here, while at a football game they take the chance to be really cocky. A pitch black guy got the red card, and the entire stadium broke out in a really confident round of loud applause, cheers and hoorays. Surely that's what usually happens when a player of the guesting team gets the red card, and even before that people had been yelling buuuh at his style of playing in a way as to anticipate the red card. It just seemed to me that the applause lasted way longer and was louder than usual. When he got the red card, it really had the sound of poetic justice rather than mockery. It was as if it made people really happy, if you know what I mean. Weird, isn't it?

We'll see how much he sticks to his Serbian side, now that the independentist Republican Left is supporting and celebrating the unilateral decision of Kosovo Albanians, to secede. The islamo-socialist-independentist gang. We have had plenty of Croat players here too, like Davor Šuker, Robert Prosinečki or Goran Vlaović. The only change here from tradition is that when a man and a woman from different places marry each other, she leaves her family (or village, town, region, nation) to be adopted by the family (etc.) of her husband. That's why the tradition is to celebrate the wedding in the village of the bride, as a symbolic farewell. Which I believe it is a widespread tradition throughout Europe. So much so that in many countries the wife loses her family name to adopt her husband's family name.

Re: Euro 2008
Here it's different, many nationalists see a problem with so many players of Serbian background in our national team. That didn't stop our national team to be popular back in 2000 and 2002 when we were on Euro and WC though. Everyone liked the team back then.
