Euro 2008 on World Cup Blog

By: Daryl | March 24th, 2008

Euro 2008 on WCB logo You may already know this, but we now have a site over on World Cup Blog dedicated to Euro 2008. When the tournament kicks off in June, all our attention (and we’re hoping a good chunk of yours) will be focused there. We have team blogs for all 16 teams, and will be covering events from Austria and Switzerland in a manner bordering on the obsessive.

As the tournament builds up we’ll have an eye on everything from beer bottles with custom team flags to debates over squad selection.

So this week, with all the Euro 2008 teams in action, you can catch all the news and views around Wednesday’s friendlies at Euro 2008 on WCB. Also Chris will be covering arguably the most exciting of all those friendlies with a LiveBlog of Spain vs Italy on Italy WCB. No prizes for guessing who he’s supporting though.

Is no one else excited to see Van Persie return to the Dutch side. It should be a welcome addition to what appears to be an offence that is ready to explode...if only Ruud were there too

For me, Spain and Italy will be the more appealing match for pure football quality, while France and Italy is the one I have more invested in, as I love to see England lose and care nothing one way or the other for Spain and Italy. Wednesday's got some great matchups, and I'd rather watch Egypt-Argentina than either of these.

I'm going to have to agree with chris here...to the neutral fan Spain vs. Italy is much more appealing than France vs. England

France is a great team to watch, but England?...not so much

Both Spain and Italy are great teams to watch, so I can see how chris says that match is twice as important

And I'm a Portugal fan, so I despise both Spain and Italy, but I'm sure it'll be more interesting to watch than long-ball England try to mix it up with Les Bleus

No one cares about Domenech or his squad outside of France. Nor does anyone care about Trezeguet - not even in Torino. Actually, both are whiny, divisive figures only fans of the teams typically want any association with. And most people would just like England to take its seat on the pine until the Euros are over.

I don't even get how this is an argument.

(Raul and Del Piero aren't playing. Torres v Toni, or something.)

Spain - Italy is twice as important given the fact that both teams are participating in Swissaustria. Plus Laurie's on vacation. Plus we're trying to make Beckham go away. Fight the power.

Actually, I'll be supporting Spain for a 27-0 rout so that Donadoni gets canned first thing Thursday morning and Lippi gets ridden in to save the day on a parade float.
