The UEFA Euro 2008 Championship Finals are due to begin this Saturday at 4pm when co-hosts Switzerland play Czech Republic.
But the most exciting news has to be that the legendary Danny Baker returns to the 6-0-6 phone-in show for the duration of the Euro 2008 on Radio Five Live. Surely Danny cannot be sacked for a third time!
It promises to be an exciting and possibly very open championships as there are a few teams that are certainly good enough to win the competition, this time round. France, Spain, Holland, Italy and my outside bet, Russia are all potential winners. Though one thing is for sure the co-hosts, Switzerland and Austria have absolutely no chance.
The ‘group of death’ - there’s always one, has to be Group C. With France, Italy and Holland (Netherlands) joined by Romania. Considering Romania finished top of their qualifying group, there could be two of the critics favourites not even making the second round!
I’m betting on Russia or Spain to win Euro 2008 and Fernando Torres or Ruud Van Nistlerooy for the Golden Boot.
So, who do you think will win Euro 2008 and who do you think will win the Golden Boot?

I get the feeling Spain might FINALLY do it.
They’ve suffered for a long time with (like england) having too many of their team playing only domestic football, but the strength in depth of the spanish league now means many of the players are getting european football experience, and some important members of their squad play in a different country which is undoubtedly a benefit nowadays.
If they get their act together then why not…and Torres to be top scorer.
That’s what my heart tells me. Head says Germany!
