I'm looking forward to German, Dutch and Czech games most of all, but have a launch party at a Bulgarian friend's house on Monday morning to kick things off. For that day alone, I am a Bulgaria fan!!! (Hell, the beer's free, the lamb will be nice and hot off the BBQ).....
Really though, I'm just looking forward to watching a team sport where there is not likely to be any sucker-punches or sticks in the head.
