Anyone follow soccer? (Football).
Your thoughts on who's going to win?
Let's get a thread going for us soccer fanatics (like me).

Not a football fanatic myself, but during European and World Championchips I become an interested part-time fan of limited longevity.

And I am sceptical of the Germans being able to repeat the show of 2006. But as the old football wisdom says: never count out the Germans in big tournaments, so - I'm open to positive surprises.

Agreed! It so happens, as with all international fixtures, i will be supporting the Germans, since it's my place of birth.
Well, have to say, if the numbers are on their side they might just do it this time 'round, 3rd in Germany, 2nd in the Euro's and...2010......well here's hoping.

Will most likely be following the world cup, Finns didn't make it so I don't really support any team. Hoping some underdog team will succeed well.

My "favourites" for the title:
Spain, Brazil (of course), Italy, Argentina, England, Germany, Netherlands.

Can't wait for this to kick off.
