What happens on the pitch is totally different to what happens off it.

why does it always near enough involve an english team????

seem you have forgot about the hooligans still around in england, see the documentary in germany 2006 WC????

England record is still much worse than italys.

Well done to Poland and the Ukraine.

It's good to see that countries that aren't the most wealthy or most talked about in football have been given the opportunity to host one of football's biggest competitions.

hehe, we've improved quite a bit since that 3-1, but you guys are doing really well too, although not as consistent in all games as us.

i expect germany, portugal france and italy to be the strongest teams at euro 08.

anyway, click on my name and there's a thread with 2000+ posts. post on there. there's a few of us..including another portugal fan who supports sporting so he might not like you

Stadiums and other infrastructure would have been built anyway regardless of Euro. Did Portugal have decent stadiums before Euro 2004?
------------------

Sorry mate but here you're talking about something you have no clue.

Benfica, Sporting, Porto and Braga had normal big stadiums that regularly had Champions League games. They took the opportunit of Euro2004 to built new ones, but the old ones didn't have any problem (Barcelona, Real, Milan... don't have new stadiums but that doesn't mean they are bad ones)

The stadiums of Boavista and Guimarães were already new and didn't suffer any major works.

So, of the 10 stadiums only 4 had to be built because they were small and old.


I don't know what is Poland's case, but don't come were with the idea that Portugal didn't have any good stadiums before 2004. That's just cr**p

This joint hosting is crap - both host countries should play and the winner gets automatic qualification and the other goes into group play and does it the hard way..

Ok. Sorry - you are right. My argument was "overdone"
