Given as how we, England, were let down by the tactically inept, poop-eating grinning, umbrella toting Steve McLaren and did not qualify, I can't say I'm for any particular nation. Will offer some support to Germany as the wife is half-German, and some to Holland and Spain, as I like the football those teams play, although defensively both are a bit suspect and with Holland being in the Group of Death with Italy, France and dark horse Romania, I'm not sure I like their odds.
This tourney is wide open - aside from Austria, Switzerland and Turkey, I think any of the teams can win it but if I had to put money down, I'd go with Italy, even though I despise them. They just come up big in big tournaments - their biggest challenge might be getting out of their group as it is the toughest group and Italy can be notoriously slow starters.
