[Krissu]

Yeah. I'm so happy that England didn't qualify

And Poland made it to the finals for the first time in history. And that's just great
I didn't get sober for 2 days

Congrats dude

Congrat Poland !
Hope they make a nice run during the cup !

(et T.Zajac, I really like Holland too)

Congrats to Poland. I was disappointed with them at the WC (even though it was good for Germany). I hope they can bring their A game to the Alps.

I like France, I’ve had a lot of fun there in the past, but I can’t support the Dutch team. I come from a town next to the Dutch border. The Dutch are great people, but their football fans are unbearable. The only worse thing than Holland winning the tournament would be England winning it (thank you Croatia).

Don't mention this WC again
I really belive they can. We have a good coach who selected young and rather unknown players (unknown in Europe of course). And they really fight in every match for him. Now the national team has its style. And trust me, they can beat anyone. (yeah.. i know it sounds crazy, but look at our matches with Portugal. 4 pts in 2 matches. Although in thesecond one we scored a lucky goal we weren't worse in a whole game)

I think the Poland /Germany group is the second most difficult one. Croatia is very strong and even though Austria has shown nothing lately, they are playing at home which makes them a dangerous opponent.
Holland, France and Italy in one group should be entertaining as well

I think Germany is out of reach. For both Poland and Croatia. A very difficult fight with Croatia for 2nd place. But I think we can make it. I'm not affraid of Austria. We played them in WC 06 qualifiers and beat them twice. If they were not hosts, I doubt they would qualify.
I was affraid we would have to play Germans. But I guess Austria and Croatia are the weakest teams Poland could draw. I think after all Polish-German-Croatian group will be very interesting and after a hard fight we will be 2nd with Croatia 3rd and Germany 1st

I hope you are right

[moustic]

Group C will be a hell of group...
I think Italia & France can walk at the next level but will be pretty amazing.
When Italia & France will stop playing against each other ? ; )

But i'm not too impress by this Euro...
