Six teams remain, and the largest country still in the competition is the Netherlands with 16m people. Has it ever been the case before that none of England, France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Turkey, Russia and Ukraine have made it to the semi-finals?

At the start of this tournament, I said that any of the teams could win it. Its a case of who WANTS (yes...HUNGER, Beckham,slapslap) it the MOST. I honestly want Greece to win it, at least they APPRECIATE the chance they've been given, unlike some SUPERSTARS(supposed.. huh)

Daniel,

You have at least one of those two in the final, but I think the Czechs will win the championship. Overall they play the best football of all participating teams ....
