I think so...this is some kind of 'default answer' 😉
Seriously I think that the Portuguese team has a good team (especially very good offensive players: Figo, Rui Costa, even Cristiano Ronaldo can do something), and not-so-good defenders ( but that isn't a problem, for this year no national team has a very good defence...).
Most important thing: they're playing at home.
After that I think that obviously France (despite of its defenders), England (despite its unability to make all its excellent players do well at the same time), have a chance...

anyone here care to explain how the hell they lost 2-1? 😐
I think they use effecitiency in english G.P
Now Germany VS Holland was a fair game germany dominated the first half Holland the second, germans thought they would be safe with their 1-0 lead, but in the end Van Nistelrooy did score. making it a tie.
I really dont get the dutch team I mean they have 4 very decent strikers and they always start off with just 1, very weird.
Swiss played well...It didn't deserve such a result, it lacks a good forward (Alexander Frei was far badder than he usually is).
Owen was transparent, again.
England owes this large victory to the red card...before it the English team have had difficulty controlling the game...
France-Croatia tonight !

another is that FIGO needs to learn that Soccer is a TEAM sport.
Yerss> France didnt deserve to win, they played for what?! 10minutes! Croatia was way better. I wanna see England go home. I'm tired of UEFA threatening to expel the English because of the fans but they never do. Nothing but trouble so far!
no offense to the English on this board.
France played badly tonight, and proved again that it wasn't able to score during the game...The players were lucky. Zidane had shaved his head. This is the second penalty kick caused by Mickael Silvestre...What the hell is Desailly doing here ?
Croatia didn't play very well either...
This is definitely a boring Euro so far... 🙁
LOL
The Spanish have started the psychological game! The ref for Portugal vs Spain is the same that ripped them off in Korea so since Portugal is the host they are saying he'll steal for us. So far Portugal hasnt been help at all. 2 penalties that were "missed" by the refs. Unless you count that Ovchinicov (sp) thing, but thats really hard to tell. Sometimes it looks like he touches with his hand others it doesnt 😖
