Who will you be supporting in Euro 2008?
A recent survey of British football fans has found that 40 per cent who would have supported one of the home nations, do not intend to watch any of Euro 2008 games.
According to the research by Opinium, it is the English followers who seem most aggrieved by their team not qualifying, with 67% planning to decrease the amount they watch compared to 49% of Scots and 48% of the Welsh.
Patriotism seems to have got the better of a number of fans with three-quarters (75%) saying they will not be “adopting” another country for Euro 2008. Of the 25% who will be supporting another nation, Holland is the most popular choice, closely followed by Spain and Italy.

I'm supporting Croatia because,
1) Slaven Bilic is a cool dude ;)
2) They deserve to be in Euro 2008 (after beating England who do not deserve it)
3) They have Luka Modric who has decided to sign with the best team in the world, Spurs.Are you excited by Euro 2008?Yes -

andrew what is ure problem? And at that what is it with Scotland hating England? If one of the other home nations had qualified for Euro 2008 I would have supported them as would most English people so why is it that Scotland always want England to fail? Andrew Murray said that England were the last team he wanted to see win the World Cup.
The only reason can be that your so bitter and jealous of England being better than you at eveything that you dont like them.
I will support no one because my team isnt in it.Are you excited by Euro 2008?No -
