My favourite German kit would be their euro 2008 kit:

I really love how France's away kit was done, so simple:

Yeah, it's really a pity that Germany went away from the kit, as it was really quite nice.

There is something nice about a white kit with just the blue logos of your federation, although the Nike swoosh looks a little out of place. Perhaps there should be those five blue stripes on the bottom of the shorts for the French kit as well.

France being sponsored by Nike instead of Adidas still hasn't sunk in yet with me, I'm too used to the Red, white and Blue stripes. It'd be the same if Germany were ever to be sponsored by anyone other than Adidas.

Oh Cool But I must say it's quite hard to get the results right except for Spain, Germany and Netherlands which will continue with the great football they showed last world cup I think some countries might surprise us this cup.

People...join! The more the merrier

[BBB Banana]

Already joined.

I get a feeling England will surprise us this year.

There's now a Euro 2012 thread, so direct all talks about it there.

[FrostyMouse]

Joined up. I actually think France will win, but in the end, I picked Spain to beat Holland in a rematch of the 2010 WC Final.

Pat, I tried to log back in and it wouldn't let me sign in. Browser problem or what?

[predsfan]

What the hell, I'm in. Though I must warn y'all, I'm not super familiar with the teams so most are just guesses, especially group A. In hindsight, I should've made my team name my name here, but you can find my baseless predictions under hakansloob (In case you're wondering).

Regardless of my "predictions," I'll be rooting for Ireland, then England.
