Country:  | I honestly do not think the Italians will get out of the group stage.
They are a great team, but overall they have never been very successful in International Tournaments (despite there 4 World Cup wins). They usually put up a great fight and go far in the tournaments however. This time though, they are in the group of death and I actually think that France and the Netherlands will take 1st and 2nd place in the group.
Here is a bit of history on the European Cup:
1960
Winner - Soviet Union
2nd Place - France
1964
Winner - Spain
2nd Place - Soviet Union
1968
Winner - Italy
2nd Place - Hungary
1972
Winner - Germany
2nd Place - Soviet Union
1976
Winner - Czechoslovakia
2nd Place - Germany
1980
Winner - Germany
2nd Place - Belgium
1984
Winner - France
2nd Place - Spain
1988
Winner - Netherlands
2nd Place - Soviet Union
1992
Winner - Denmark
2nd Place - Germany
1996
Winner - Germany
2nd Place - Czech Republic
2000
Winner - France
2nd Place - Italy
2004
Winner - Greece
2nd Place - Portugal

Country: | I will unfortunatly miss the game, because I will be watching Metallica in concert instead.
I think the game will end 2-1 for Germany. Poland allways puts up a good well fought game against Germany.

Country:  | How come there are no comments in this thread from the Americans ?
Maybe 'cause soccer is not that popular in the US ??

Charles | Probably because it is the European Cup and because unfortunatly most Americans do not like Football (Soccer).

Country:  | Bit difficult to get enthusiastic without any British sides and I don't have any emotional ties to any of the other countries. Bit of a take it or leave it to me.
I would Spain but they alwys screw up even though they have good teams.
The French is OK too as my car would be happy.
Will certainly watch a few games if I get the time. | |

Country:  | I don't have confidence in the dutch team. They 're a bunch of overpaid snobs. I would say Germany takes it, or else, an outsider, which you don't expect, like turkey or Poland or so. I'm hoping for the last option as I aways like the underdog to win, makes things exciting.

Country: | The last few times have been won by the underdog. Look at Greece in 2004!

Country: | Well, I would like to see the dutch win, but I don't think that will be the case. I'll cheer for them nonetheless
