Euro 2008 kicks off on Saturday, June 7th. After co-hosts Austria and Switzerland, every team is believed to have a shot at winning the title. With Greece's triumph in 2004, countries such as Romania, Poland, Turkey and Croatia will genuinely believe that they can make deep runs through the tournament. Of course, the real favorites are Germany, Italy, France, Portugal, Spain and the Netherlands. Even with all the injuries though, expect the level of play to be high, and the competition to be intense. It will certainly be riveting television, as there's nothing in sports quite like the spectacle of country versus country on the soccer pitch. Much of the world (and certainly all of Europe) will tune in to winess which country will earn spectacular pride from accomplishing the grand feat.
Previews of my favorites and predictions coming on Friday...

Can't wait for the Euros even though the home nations are not gonna be there i will def enjoy the euro atmosphere!
Yeah, it's too bad England or Scotland didn't qualify for Euro 2008, if for no other reason than the fan support that comes out of the UK nations. Still, the atmosphere , as you mention, will be vibrant and electric, and the competition should be great. I see it as wide-open, with no clear-cut favorite.
