Re: Euopean Championships 2008 - Predictions (4.00 / 2)

Amazing prediction, nanne. All four favorites lose in the quarterfinals, and France doesn't even get through.

Personally, i think Gilles Villeneuve will return from the Great Beyond to nip Hamilton and Raikkönnen for the pole. (so you know where i'll be focused during the second half of Switzerland - Czech Republic.)

No 3rd place match in Euro championships.

Are you holding Hiddink in this high regard?

He's the best coach there. But he's also got good players.

Who come up as playmakers?

I don't know if there's a need for playmakers. Hiddink's teams often manage to play ball as a unit (a very fast unit) without revolving around one or two pivots. At least that's how I saw South Korea's play. But Zyrianov will probably be the closest thing.

But they never won a tournament.
