Sir;you run a fine site,but here you sound surprised at the inefficiency of the ruling body.Is there somewhere in the football world a governing body not run by fat,ex, pompous, out of touch, overpaid, chicken livered wallies?
Please be no longer surprised at the Ostrich Men;they are all EX-something;player/coach/boot cleaner, no matter.Just because my Dad lays bricks for a living doesn’t mean at retirement he’s gonna oversee the redevelopment of Dubai.

Romania are actually quite good, I think Holland is less of a problem, tbh.
The only if about France is their ridiculous coach. They could be even better than 06 if they stop using tarot to choose the lineups.

The best thing is that with the exception of Austria there are no truly bad teams at Euro 2008, so every group should be competitive.

I rather expect the Romanians to do well, actually. I think that they’ll send the French and Dutch home and qualify in second place.
The French are getting a bit inconsistent, and I suspect they’ll be found wanting.
The Dutch have been poor of late, and finished second in their group to Romania. I see no obvious reason for this to change.

the only guaranteed crap team at the moment is Austria…even their own fans started a campaign to have them kicked out of the tournament.
You cant write off teams like Poland and Turkey either.
Heres to 2008
Come on Spain

Romania are actually quite good with a lot of techniccally skilled players. They could make it out of the group as well. If you actually believe that teams that qualify for tournaments deserve to do so, they’re better than Holland.

Watching coaches from “good” national teams bitch about having to play other “good” national teams is always amusing

Makes it interesting, worth getting the beers in now. A true group of death.
