You just have to get sunburnt, drink copious amounts of beer and throw plastic chairs at French people with us.

Was looking at the odds again. We're second favourites.

There's not much in it between France, England and Belgium.

Would like The Hawk to tell us what Vegas is saying.

I still don't think it will happen by the way. We'll go out on Wednesday, just hope we could maybe win the third place play off I think the team will get bronze medals?

No hooping though. English people do not hoop.

Have more faith in your boys. I think this could be the one.

i have no doubt england will be playing in the finals.

i am more worried about belgium making it, although i did predict france to win it all and do like a lot of their players, i would be very upset to see belgium make it that far and get sent home.

As the sole Croatian that has ever inhabited these boards (and likes to randomly rise from the dead every couple of years), I have to say, no we are not.

Unfortunately I will not be able to see this one live because I'm going to be flying home but hopefully I will be there to see us in the final...

I think Burning Down's boyfriend who joined was Croatian. Either that or Serbian.

The latter. He'd probably kick your ass if you called him a Croat.

Yeah, the Croats and Serbs aren't exactly buddies.

He would be an idiot if he did that...

It's a complex situation and we have a lot of work to do before we start really putting what happened in the last 25 years behind us (and the politicians are certainly not helping, since it's in their interest to keep the status quo) but I think a lot of young people are over that animosity nowadays, or they should be at least. At least the more educated, erudite ones. I imagine people who join this forum are not the typical balcanic types.

I have no problems with serbs, only with hate-mongering people (of any nationality).
