I think the problem is g force that everyone always says that. You need everyone to write spain off...

I will be supporting Croatia.
My most hated teams competing are Turkey, Germany, France and Sweden.

That is an absolutely mouth-watering lineup though. Even though Spain have looked good on paper in the past, I can't remember them ever looking quite as tasty as that. Then again everyone said that about Brazil and Argentina at the last world cup.
The euros tend to spawn more weird / flukey / one off winners than the world cup too. We shall see.

Midfield and strikers I reckon we have the best in Europe and a fair bit of depth when you look at Garcia, Tamudo, Alonso, Reyes etc. Keeper is class and we have Reina and Valdes on the bench 
Defence is less certain...depends who he plays where but I'd expect Capdevila, Puyol and Ramos to be three of the four, possibly with Juanito or Arbeloa.
Oh yeah and we also have a certain 17 year old who looks okay

I am supporting Spain so I can be just as disappointed without England playing.

Grrrrr
On paper Spain have the best players. but in practice they seem to be even psychologically weaker than the England, which really is saying something (as Fun Boy Three said).
Germany have got an easy first group and should sail thru to the knock outs without hassle feeling refreshed and ready for annihilating (whoops) the rest of Europe

Hey, Dean Yager!
Ronaldo, Nani and Queiroz.
Portugal all the way!
Had a punt on them in the last two tournaments.
I think this is the tourney when Ronaldo and Quaresma go all Figo-big on the international scene

I might go for Spain, purely for the fact that i'm meant to be learning Spanish next year. If they don't win it's a good excuse not too.

I like that.
Yeah but they're a perpetual quarter final/second round team. Just like England really.

Poland. Great in qualifiers but always bit useless in the actual tournaments

I'm half Czech, so I'm backing the Czech Republic. My second team will be Poland, as I live in Poland.
England have very few technically-sound players though. Besides, long-shots have history in this competition, with Denmark 1992 and Greece 4 years ago.
I agree with your points. I'm just saying that sweden's mindset seems to be that getting to a certain point appears to be the limit of their ambitions.
Do you remember the last euros? They beat someone, bulgaria i think, 5-0 in the group and looked rather tasty, and then went out tamely in teh quarter finals with barely a whimper.

I'm going for Czech, and Switzerland.
Yeah, I know. I guess I just wanted to appear clever by saying someone no-one else has. I watched Inter play Milan today and they definitely missed Ibrahimovic.
