C'mon, I know we have some soccer/football fans out there who will be following the European Championships taking place in Ukraine/Poland.

I especially know by buddy Peadar has his eyes set into it as well seeing as his homeland is taking part. Does ol' Robbie Keane still have the magic? I know you're in a tough group with Spain, Italy, and Croatia.

I'M A FOOTBALL/soccer FAN. I ENJOY WATCHING WHEN ITLY AND SPAIN KINDA TEAMS ARE THERE.

Good man CC,setting this thread up:))...My tip is Holland but you know Im gonna be cheering on the Boys in Green..They start on Sunday which just happens to be my Birthday:))...I think we will get out of the group ahead of Italy and Croatia..

I'm interested to see if Spain can pull off what may be the toughest feat in sports. Win 2 straight Euro titles, with a World Cup in between.

IRELAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I dont think they can...They need whichever striker they pick to perform..Spain are the best possesion team in football,but sometimes can lack a goal..They will pass teams into the ground but will need a cutting edge come the business end of the competition..

I was just thinking that at the World Cup, Fernando Torres was essentially a no-show, but if he shows up here, Spain could be very tough to beat as usual. You'd expect a team with that kind of midfield to be possession oriented.

Yeh with no Villa ,Torres will be expected to step up..The Torres of 08/09 was a frightening player but since then not sure what happened..Noticed some improvements in recent months-working harder,goals returning and assists...
