		<description>I hope Spain and Sweden will go through, but we got the weakest squad in many years so I&#039;m not sure since Hiddink always got an ace or two in his pocket.</description>

		<description>I guess I&#039;m the only one who doesn&#039;t think Spain will do well.  Torres and Fabregas the two Spanish stars don&#039;t really perform as well on Spain as they do with their clubs, and Fabregas hasn&#039;t done much in monthes.  Aragones would be stupid to put Torres in infront of Villa, cuz Villa&#039;s much better on the national team.</description>

		<description>thanks Jan; great to get in the EC grove... Spain should do well, i mean they cant keep underperforming, it has to be their time in the sun at some point...maybe this is their year...

no very little of the Swedes, i know the players but havent seen them play a whole match

&quot;Russian football is on the rise. Look at Chelsea for instance&quot; , haha... but true, look at Dicks team Zenit... looks like we need to deal with the &#039;red danger&#039;once more!! Guus will bring them victory and will then be elected to be the new russian Tsaar

The greek.... pfhhhhhhhh.. why did they ever win?? what a crap team with crap players....the greeks were great...; about 2600 years ago!! haha


Jan; the first streets are getting Oranje here! i actually helped my brother-in-law for 4 hours getting the little flags on the roofs of the houses in his neigbourhood, i also have an oranje flag on my car...           

LETS GO ORANJE!!!!!</description>

		<description>spain should be a fantastic team but it never works. david villa and fernando torres together are the best a coach might have. just behind them: xavi,xabi alonso,cesc and iniesta. casillas is probably the best goalkeeper in the world. sergio ramos and carles puyol in the defence. and i&#039;m still sure that they won&#039;t win the ec08. even with this squad.</description>

		<description>I reckon if Oranje can get out of the group of death, Spain will eventually be the team to beat. Too much quality on that team for even them to fcuk it up.

Spain has always been a good team that only loose when it really counts, but this time around I can hardly see how even that lot can possibly mess this up. It is a very scary lineup, Pepe Reina, Fabregas, Torres, etc. 

That is until they meet Oranje, of course!!!</description>
