ENGLAND ARE CRAP!!!!
I wouldnt put england in average.
They are the weakest team in euro 2000!

 

[Tedy]

Celtic fc: than Scotland lost with the weekest team in EURO, than they are even worse (anyway I prefer Scotland (in comparison with England

)).

About your rankings:
I almost agree, but you should replace Turkey with Yugoslavia (that`s big mistake).
About Slovenia having no chance: they play very modern and attractive football, they`ll suprise you & whole Europe once again! Just watch!

Ajax dude,
Holland is the strongest international team at the moment they have a great player at every position Would just like to see Hasselbaink up front with Dennis. I`ll be supporting them in Scotland`s absence.

In your rankings u should swap the Czech`s with England they only had us scot`s in their group to give them any competition and england will have a good side if they change their front two to Phillips and Cole.

The Scot`s have to be the best team not to qualify what do u think?

I must warn about Norway - I'm afraid. OK they had an easy group but their kind of football-style is effective- unfortunately because I don't really like Norway (cuz I'm from Sweden..)

Just look at Rosenborg and their progress in the Champ.L. Same kind of football.

But we will see, hope the really get screwed by SWEDEN in the group and end up last..

By the way I think Holland look great. Dennis, Kluivert, Hasselbaink...says it all..
+ their great midfield...

England will face a though Euro2000 and they will not go far ( my opinion)

Denmark has impressed on me and I hope they go far and I think it is very strong to have progressed to the Euro2000 without the "Laudrup brothers"

SEE YA!

So Norway's formation won't win any games?
It certainly did in the qualifiers!
And NEO_9, you just show how little you know about norwegian football. Norway and Rosenborg have very different styles of play. OK, they both bring the ball fast forward, but Rosenborg plays much more on the ground. Norway often play the long ball (allthough it's a little bit more varied and fun to watch now), while RBK almost always play through midfield.
By the way, I think Norway and Sweden (I don't like you either ) will be the big surprise this summer. Their tactical knowledge is the best about, and that will be very important with the even quality of the Euro-finals.
The only team without any chance at all must be Slovenia. After what I saw in the qualifiers, it's a wonder they even got to the finals

I think Slovenia might surprise especially since everyone is taking them so lightly. It's too hard to predict what will happen until the groups are set. One thing is for sure however, and that is England won't make it out of the first round.

slovenia! who r they?
ukraine would have more chance than them. they were lucky the ukraine messed up.and England, of course they'll qualify from group stages. remember euro96. but i don't really care what happens to england as i will be supporting italy in euro 2000. italy have a very easy group and should come top in it. holland- italy final!!!!!

Norway play some of the most boring football there is. Italy-Norway in WC 98 was one of the most boring matches.
