This is possibly one of the stupidest things I've ever seen in my life. Why are they opening Euro 2008 with cheesy presentations and music. It's laughable.

Anyone else watching it

[Stewart]

hahaha its so funny, what were the cows all about!!

[ChelseaFan]

That's well known in Austria . It goes on for too long, they should cancel out stuff like this haha.

[Stewart]

hahah it was so funny though, a massive "moo" every now and again from the speakers!

completely pointless ceremony though, can they not get on with the football - cant believe Mark Bright on bbc just said it was "quite good"

[Shaun]

What are the first two matches?

[ChelseaFan]

Tell me about it, this is going on for to long.

It's not even good at all, it's just utter cr**! Lol

[Stewart]

Finally we are nearly at kick off! Bet the football is a complete let down after watchin 30 minutes of that!

Switzerland vs Czech

Portugal vs Turkey

[Stewart]

I can see Czech win and i think Turkey might sneak something later

[Shaun]

Thanks.

I predicted in the game BigSister set up that it'd be close wins for Czech Republic and Portugal.

[ChelseaFan]

Hope Czech plays well, he'd be a massive boost for my Fantasy League Team

I am glad England aren't in the tournament, Germany to win

I thought Switzerland vs Czech Republic was a game very low on quality and that the Swiss were unlucky to not get a point out of the game.

It was a pretty brave but in the end a vital decision by the Czech manager to take off Jan Koller.It did surprise me a bit seeing as Koller has been the focal point of their attack for years now but he looked pretty dreadful today, the service he was getting was poor but his movement played a big part in them not testing the Swiss keeper.

The one good point for Czech Republic is their defence, it looked pretty solid throughout but they cannot just rely on that.
