Who will win Euro 2004?

[duffarama]

And I think that Van Nistelrooy is a pretty handy striker for Manchester United too, but there has been some speculation that he will be leaving them. Keep us up to date on the scores.

Yes, Van might leave Man U. Or rather it looks like that only one between Van and Fergie will remain at Man U next season.

Scores update:
Italy 1-1 Sweden
Denmark 2-0 Bulgaria

Italy now face elimination, and even a win on the final day against Bulgaria might not be enough for Giovanni Trappatoni's men. However I still fancy Italy to qualify, since I dont see the other game between Sweden and Denmark to end in a draw, which means if Italy does beat Bulgaria, then they are through.

Group C (Table)
1. Sweden (Played: 2, Won: 1, Drawn: 1, Lost: 0, Pts: 4, GD: +5)
2. Denmark (Played: 2, Won: 1, Drawn: 1, Lost: 0, Pts: 4, GD: +2)
3. Italy (Played 2, Won: 0, Drawn: 2, Lost: 0, Pts: 2, GD: 0)
4. Bulgaria (Played 2, Won: 0, Drawn: 0, Lost: 2, Pts: 0, GD: -7)

Does England still have a chance of winning Euro 2004?

They need to at least draw tonight against Croatia to progress to the knock out quarter-final stage, where they will probably face Portugal, depending on the France/Switz result.

I dont think England will win euro 2004, but they might make it to the semis

Why arn't England the best team in the world when they have the best league in the world - the FA Premier League?

 

[m_vaughan]

well the premier league is rated so high because of the presence of several foreign players, like Henry, Bergkamp, Van Nistelrooy, Okocha, Cudicini, etc. It has nothing to do with the England national team to be honest.

Lol..Lampard and Terry the first on Ranieri's team sheet every week, despite the presence of a multitude of foreign stars; Campbell and Cole half of an Arsenal back four whose team went unbeaten throughout the Premiership season; Steve Gerrard rated one of the world's finest midfielders; Gary and Phil Neville and Paul Scholes regulars in the Man U team and I haven't even mentioned Rooney yet!

 

[m_vaughan]

Campbell and cole are the only two english players in the arsenal starting XI. arsenal are actually an outsourced french club team. Gerrard is no doubt good, but you dont get my point, the epl is nothing without all the foreign stars.
