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.

Will you be watching Euro 2008? Which team will you support? Have your say HERE.

    I am and will continue watching Euro 2008, I have adopted Spain as my team to support, the only reason is its the only country in the Euro 2008 i have been to. Unless you count Kos the Greek island. Shame about Germans and Italians staying in would like to see them go out. Wouldn't be upset if Holland won the tournament though. one last point BBC get rid of Martin oneal he is very irritating and talks a load of rubbish. Alan Shearer talks most sense.
