ccbrew, what about West Ham? They have a good manager in Alan Curbishley, and the team he assembled is pretty good. Rumors are circulating that Eidur Gudjohnsen might be joining West Ham soon which would be great for them. West Ham has a 22 year old American international defender, Jonathan Spector. But sadly, Spector suffered a torn labrum recently while training with team USA and will miss the Olympics and part of the new EPL season. At 18, Spector was recruited by Man United out of Chicago, and he joined West Ham in 2006. I've watched Spector play for Man United and he was impressive just a little inexperience, I was surprised that they sold him. As for this Euro, think I will root for the underdog Holland in the toughest group C to win. But my head says that the winner will probably be one of the usual suspects, Italy or Germany. It'd be really nice to have a surpise / shocking winner like in 1992 (Denmark) or 2004 (Greece).
