Anyone else getting excited for Euro 2008?

Soccer forum is dead so I thought I'd post it here. Anyone getting excited? Love that shit! You can sit there and watch paint dry on the wall and the ants crawl across your double wides floor and have three exciting things going on at once.

Yippeee!

Sportsbetting.com is having a free $100,000 contest for the tournament.

Awesome tournament. I would say this is the 3rd best tournament, behind the World Cup and UEFA Champions. England will definitely be the big absentee.

I've heard a lot of folks say it's better than the World Cup?

I'm getting excited. It looks like the games will be at a reasonable time for folks wanting to watch the games on the West Coast. I hope ESPN or somebody carries the games live. Live Wagering from what I hear at some of the offshores as well. Love chilling and watching the games.

Portugal all the way for me!

I like the World Cup better, mainly 'cause you also get Brazil, Argentina and some of the African teams.

It should be fun. Hopefully we can get a good thread going here or in the soccer forum so that folks can get a little scratch down on some games and make some money while chugging some cold Bud.

Soccer and College football are the 2 sports I can watch and be as excited as if I had money on them.

When the WC and Euro Cup come on, I stop everything and just watch and with the past several years, the games in HD are sick. I can't wait.

I dont' get ESPN Classic so that really sucks ass!

Noticed the only game listed above with no TV venue was the championship game, assuming it will be ABC? Interesting long term wager is the total goals scored for the tournament at 75.5. Looking forward to the start as well, might have to get ESPN Classic for the month.

yeah i'm pumped for the tourney to begin

Its funny you caught that. It would only allow me 30 images when they are copied and pasted. So, I erased the championship game, assuming that everyone would know its on ABC.

Go Big Blue

Good job, posting the schedule, I've printed it out and it now resides on the fridge. GL

I'll be watching it. I just got into soccer this past year. Probably because that's all people talk about in Costa Rica. FRANCE all the way!!!

Portugal and Italy look strong. I like Spain though, even though they haven't won anything in a while. The good thing about EURO is that I think its the most evenly matched soccer tournament.

All the pubs here in Pattaya Beach will be packed...big event here in Thailand with the Europeans living here...

Still find it weird that for the first time in my life, non Portuguese people are actually cheering for them. Not that I mind. I just hope they make it out of the group stage. Come the knockout round let the chips fall where they may and let the best team win.

I am. This will be the first Euro Championship that i will follow and wager on.

Every game in HD too. ope:

Gonna be watching every game live.

First day I see the Swiss and the Czechs drawing and Portugal beating Turkey.

My family is from Italy and Spain so I will be supporting them. Italy are in a tough tough group. Romania might cause a big upset, they look good.
