So who are you going to support in EURO 2008

My qualifying teams are = Group A - Portugal & Switzerland  (All good but Portugal top and the host to get 2nd)
                                    Group B - Germany & Croatia  (2nd place was tough to pick).
                                    Group C - Italy & France  (toughest of all groups but I feel defence will be the key)
                                    Group D - Spain & Russia  (I feel spain to win group with Russia but again wasn't sure on 2nd so it's anyone's

Mate are you taking the piss?! Austria and Australia are on opposite sides of the world and nowhere near each other.

My 8 year old brother knows that. 

Austria is pretty close to Australia in many ways:

- the spelling of their names (in English anyway) - which is what I meant to begin with
- the amount of beer they consume per capita
- their love of days off work (38 days per year for Austria, as many as you like in Oz if you work for the government)
- Austria gave the world Mozart, Australia gave the world 'Men at Work'
- Sigmund Freud comes from Austria , Steve Irwin comes from Australia

and most importantly, George W. Bush can't tell the two of them apart!

So there you have it, definative proof that Austria is close to Australia, not geographically, but in all the ways that count.

As for the geography bit, I'm well aware of the spatial (and timezone differences), cause all my friends back home still haven't figured out after 6 years of trying that if they call me at what they consider a reasonable hour of the day, it will be the middle of the night for me.

This might help:

Romaina for me 

Poland v Romania in the final for me! F**k I really can't decide!

Why can't they both draw eh

 

Lets leave out extra time and pens. I've thought of a better way to decide the winner

Ahhhh Good shout Could take a while but

Ahhhh Good shout Could take a while but

Went for Poland in the end!

Swizerland v Netherlands Final for me, Netherlands won

Romania v Germany Final, went to penalties and Romania (just about) came out on top!

im going for Spain as well. part of my family comes from there and they also have lots of Liverpool players (including the best of all, Fernando Torres!), so I have no doubt about it.

but I wouldnt be so disappointed if a side like Holland won it. I just hope its not Germany, France, Italy...

and normally I would be cheering for Portugal too, cause my grandpa was portuguese. but since Cristiano Ronado became their biggest star, I just cant feel happy for them when they win anymore. I just cant! bring back the Figo days
