Weekly Poll: Who Will Win Euro 2008?

By: Laurie | May 16th, 2008

Last week in our “Who Will Win Euros?” poll the overwhelming winner was Italy, with 20% of the vote. Portugal was second with 16%, and France and Spain finished with 15% each. And apparently not a lot of people have faith in the host countries, because Switzerland and Austria both finished with one vote apiece.

Have your views changed over the week? There have been a lot of preliminary squad announcements, a few unexpected team omissions, and various and sundry other news. Among the happenings:

Bojan won’t be playing for Spain.
Jogo Loew has named his Germany squad. And Bernd Schneider isn’t on it.
The Turkey squad was announced, and Hakan Sukur isn’t on the list. But Hamit Altintop will probably be fit and ready to play.
The Czech squad has been named. With no Rosický and no Nedvěd.
Italy’s preliminary squad list may or may not have been leaked.
How are the Poland players doing? Check the Squad Watch.
Big Phil Scolari has named his Portugal squad. And no Maniche.
Romania has also named their squad.
And Russia has named their squad, with a focus on Russia-based players.
Clarence Seedorf pulled out of Netherlands team before being called up.
Sweden also went to the squad-announcement party, and Henrik Larsson got an invitation.
And Switzerland announced their squad as well.
