    When the inevitable happens and we are knocked out in the group stage who are you going to follow. I myself have a soft spot for the Dutch, I think they might do quite well!! As long as they can avoid killing each other in the training camp beforehand, as seems to happen every tornament..

    Got no affiliation with any of them really, will be keeping a close eye on the French and the Dutch to see how our lads do although krul might not get much playing time.

    Agree with you there, I'm not really interested unless any of our team are playing.

    I think we might need to wait until the first knock out match before Englan are eliminated: 4 points will get us out of the grop stage if France are dominant.

    After that, cheer on the toon contingent.

    I know the obvious answer would be France, but I hope France get knocked out straight away so our players aren't at risk.

    I'm not even supporting England. Couldn't care less. Will focus on France and Holland.

    I'll be watching each game and whoever is the underdog, I'll be supporting them. Nothing better than seeing the minnows of Poland beat the Spanish giants.

    Very patriotic and love supporting my country in just about whatever the endeavour. I believe if you're born here you should do as I think national pride is very important. I won't go preaching about it though, each to their own!

    I just hope that those who couldn't give two ****s about England, don't start moaning about it or what should happen if and when we get put out. Those are the hypocrites who do my head in!!

    "Hate England couldn't care what happens to them"

    England Depart

    "See he should never have taken that squad, that players ****/he's a prima donna, this what we should have done blah blah blah"

    Eh? I thought you didn't care? So kindly **** off.

    After what happened at the world cup, England owe us. The world cup was the finish for me. I'll always follow England and want them to do well in any sport. Ill be watching every game game in the euros and cheering them on but England getting knocked out of the euros will cause me no disappointment. Club before Country for me. They are the ones who get my money, time and heart ache and they've had enough of it over the years to make me always lean towards Newcastle success over England success. England would generated a much better buzz if they played their friendlys up and down the country. As it is, it's all about paying for wembely.

    I'm not going to be supporting England to begin with, I'll be rooting for Ireland.

    Money? Did somebody mention money?

    Just kidding WP.
    I'm happy for England to do well, but too many prima donna footballers have ruined the enjoyment of the public.

    I don't care if people think me unpatriotic, I have too much dislike of too many of our national squad to wish them well.
    Plenty footballers out there would kill to wear the England shirt, instead we get the likes of Mr Rooney who is appalled at the lack of public support when they're ****

    Will be supporting England and will always do so but its going to take some serious effort from the players to get me passionate about them again, I used to like watching England games almost as much as Newcastle games, but the gutless performances of the team, combined with most of the team being absolute scum, Cole, Terry, Ferdinand etc...put me off a lot.

    England, then the Dutch always had a soft spot of the Dutch who over the year's have had some fantastic players.
