I like France but, having said that, the Dutch look like they're in good form at the moment...but will they keep it up throughout the tournament? It's early days...
My team, Republic of Ireland, is not in the Euro 2008 this year - so, no more hiding behind cushions for the time being or shouting at the telly. It's time to relax and enjoy the spectacle. I hope Trappatoni, the new ROI manager, will inject some Italian passion into those Irish feet before the next World Cup!
Speaking of sport, I LOVE the gaelic games like hurling and Gaelic Football. Hurling is a little bit like hockey/lacrosse with attitude and it is not for wimps. Gaelic football allows you to hold the ball as well as kick it - that,too, is not for wimps. The All-Ireland Finals, held in September, have enough electric atmosphere to boil a million kettles.
I also like snooker, tennis, darts and rugby - I can't play them for mintballs but I love watching those who have the skill!
