Jon AS Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Either national stereotypes or recollection of past Euro glory, I say. The best pic for the Czech's is clearly one of Panenka in '76. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also liked Paulo Sousa a lot. Or you could use the goal scored by Madjer in 1988 Champions Cup final F.C. Porto - Bayern Munich (although Madjer is Algerian).

I am sorry, it was just what it come out! I did notice Portugal ending 16th in the draw but thought of a saying ( the bible? the last shall be the first) and it was what came out. Blame Microsoft please... Dark Wolf, I think the "Homem de Gelo" was saying that there were just no good looking portuguese players to put as an icon. He should have seen the team of the 80s if he is complaning about now, that is all I say. Chalana is on some current ads and I had forgotten how they all looked like then..

If you want keep the first it was Portugal. honest to goodness but I decided to ahem it would affect my credibility and that we can find a tecnicality to invalidate it. somebody supernatural has a sense of irony ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Romania is the 12th best team in the world rankings, and the 8th best ranked in the competition. They're in the alleged group of death, but a victory over the Dutch is well within reach if Mutu can get the ball in the box, and I could see draws against the French and even the Italians. Or perhaps Les Bleus will fall to the Tricolorii, eh? Hai Tricolorii! St. Gheorge will watch over you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turinqui-Calima Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Aww, I missed the drawing :( Guess I'll just stick to my usual team (France). I probably would have gotten Sweden anyways, and that would just have been silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
