Less than a week left. Who do you think will win it ?


My bet is England or Spain.

France: bookies favorite but I don't think they click. Zidan is not at his best, keeper (Barthez) is a joke, Trezague does not communicate well with Henry. Still they are most talented but something in my mind whisper it will be 2002 all over again.

Germany: Only fools can ever underustimate Germany but I would risk to be one. The current crop of players is simply not good enough. No way !

Italy: Nothing new. No new tactics, no new stars. Will give a run for a money for anybody but fall short.

Holland: History shows for all their tallent must be above rest to win. However good recent players are, they are not equal to Gullit/vanBasten. Never mind Kroif !

Portugal: Well, may be. Porto was most impressive and homefield helps. I just don't think they can carry it all the way.

Other nations excluded, that leaves England and Spain.

La Liga is the best. No questions here. Before, Spain suffered from Real-Barsa Schisz. No more. Valensia and Depor bring new blood and sence of identidy to the squad. Must be the year !

England: Perfect form, best coach ever, no (almost) injuries. Lads have never been so fired up. Best team in years.
