Is anyone else doing the McDonald's Euro Fantasy League?
It's a bit late to join now but if enough people are already doing it we can make our own BTF league..maybe?

Looks like it could be a Germany Italy final, see what Spain can bring.

Lifelong England hater so do not care, but I hope captain fantastic Stevie G can show why he was always the man for the job...

Spain all the way, would love to see more from holland, but their first game was horrible and their defense as well as offense needs work. Germany looks like a competitor as well, but it has to be Spain, too much talent

Spain's lineup really favors the Italians here. 6 Midfielders? Fabregas is no center striker, how can you not start Torres? His form hasn't been great but you need someone to lead the line. With the Italians' defensive style this could be a 0-0 draw

Nah i think spain got this. The Spanish style is really weird compared to most teams. They have midfielders and defenders that play the whole field so i think Spain has the favor in this match.


Torres hasnt been on his game since the world cup. He might start against ireland or someone, but Italy I dont think so he should start.

Could have easily been 3-1.....cept Torres choked like always.

Could have been 3-1 the other way. Balotelli choked on his chance and dinatale went wide. This game was great in that you can't say that Spain was the better team. It really could have gone either way.

Anyone else see the Irish player chugging down a Red Bull in the tunnell? lol


Fair result you have to say for Italy/Spain. Spain had their chances but didn't take them. Italy did a good job of not sitting back and just letting Spain play at them



Anyway, who do you like in this one? Croatia has to be the favorite, but I like Ireland to get a result here - they'll be under fire most of the match, they'll have to capitalize on the break and get the ball to Keane

But ireland is doing beter than I thought honestly. Croatia is missing a key player that retired before the Euro Cup :( , Olic.....he was a monster.


Ireland need a better keeper. lol.

Sheva still got it!


Stevie G was solid against France, but there were very few chances. Cancelled each other out, and I have a newfound hate for Ribery!
