Football (soccer) of course and golf. They're the most boring sports I have ever seen!

so now the women's tennis is without a real queen

My Predictions: Champions: Hmmmm either Portugal or France i think
Semi - finals: Germany, Holland

Best player: Ronaldo will be, as long as he stays uninjured!!

As for Turkey, our formation seems to be a little bit uncompetitive. Although players are in such a good form, they are not strong enough to compete with big guns. I don't think we could win against Portugal or Czech Republic. But we Turkish people live in a very emotional manner. If we could manage to go through 2nd round somehow, then we can carry our form to the top or even final, thanks to morale and motivation, just like we did in 2002 World Cup in which we became 3rd.

Nuno Gomes (Benfica)

Is he still in national team?

[MP4/4#12]

Yup, he had a terrible season at Benfica, but he will be there, i don`t think he`ll be the 1st choice though.

[Ali]

What do you think about our group? You and Czech as 1-2?

Czech will win the group, 2nd place between Portugal and Turkey, that`s how i see it. Portugal had a poor qualy campaign, they played badly, in a weak group, so i don`t have high expectations. Just hope the players gain motivation in the tournament, otherwise they`ll be home soon...

Yes, exactly the same for Turkey but IMO Portugal appearantly have what it takes to finish the job much more than us.

Man Utd - hopefully Champions League winners Wednesday night

Also like watching Tottenham and Aston Villa.

Wolves have a decent team. It's a shame they missed out play-offs on goal difference. They would have done better than Watford.
