Hang on, why are ITV using the music from Peter and the Wolf as the theme for their Euro coverage? What's the relevance?

I didn't realize how big of drama queens the Italian team is. I'm enjoying this supposed conspiracy a lot. I obviously picked well. I'm flipping between the two games now. I almost want Spain and Croatia to go 2-2.
Also, soccer fans are awful. I thought Yankees and Lakers fans were obnoxious, but they tend to avoid throwing bananas.
edit:Cesc Fabregas is a good reason for Spain advancing too. He's quite pretty.

Sucks to be England right now. If they go through tomorrow, they'll get either Spain or Italy in the next round.

None of the major teams have really stood out from the pack and made themselves favourites. Other than Greece (come on, they can't do it again!), I can see any of the remaining teams winning the tournament.
I still think Spain are the best team but history isn't on their side. No matter how good they are/were no country has ever won 3 major tournaments in a row. Although I suppose records are there to be broken.

I'm afraid I'm routing for England and Greece.
I'm no fan of the English side, but a major win is long overdue. It's been like 46 years since England last won something.
I'm not a fan of Greece either, but they have the most to gain. I'm sure that prize money could help pay off some of their debts. Plus, they all have funny names.
The team I definitely don't want to see win is Portugal. I like Ronaldo, but I can't stand the rest of the Portugese team.

Hey, I love Greece! I just don’t think they have a shot of winning. Sotiris Ninis was a legend for me in Football Manager years ago. I would sign him for next to nothing then a season later he'd be one of the best players in the world and be worth like £40M. I'm only just learning by looking at the Greece team for tonights game that he's actually a real person. The team I definitely don't want to see win is Portugal. I like Ronaldo, but I can't stand the rest of the Portugese team. I’m the opposite. I don’t mind the rest of the team. I just can’t stand Ronaldo. Although to be fair I’m basing that off of his Manchester United reputation still. If he still dives like he used to and is generally still a dick then I'll always root against him though.
