By a bizarre twist of fate, the teams in group B were all picked by the female contingent, with the other two females participating picking from group D. I'll update this bit as the tournament progresses.

Is this the footballer orgy you were involved in?

Are you starting a Fugly Males Forum? I think the acronym is already taken.

It's Euro 2008, innit. I'm going to continue what I did in the last World Cup, and watch foreign teams play matches with fans from those countries. My boyfriend is Austrian, so any Austrian games are already taken care of. The first is Switzerland -v- Czech Republic.
It's like Eurovision for straight men (and women of all persuasions who enjoy football).

Congratulations Adrian - be the first to pick a player and enter the great Euro 2008 sweepstake!
There are 16 players from the 16 teams playing, and you have to pick one of them men, probably without knowing which country they play for.

I'll take bottom right, but no idea what country he is.

If any of them wear powder blue I'll take them.

These teams have no fashion sense! Right, I've closed my eyes, licked my finger and gone for it! And I've come up with middle row, 2nd from the left.

Ah Sebastian! He has an air of Brideshead about him, so will do me lovely. Does he carry a teddy?

I'll have the puzzled looking one (middle row, left hand side) - I think they may be Spain.

Can I have number four from the middle row please? His eyes are too close together and he scares me a bit, so I'd rather have him as a friend than an enemy.

Bottom row - 5?
Please!

Bottom left corner for me please. Surely eastern European...? Or a Triga film at least.
I like that the BBC promo campaign has hilariously sidestepped mentioning the lack of home nations in the tournament with a cheerful "Who will you support?"

He is a bit scary, but that's the Portugese for you. Ricardo Quaresma in this case. Just as well England aren't playing else they'd beat us on penalties. And that's the handsome Spaniard, otherwise known as Barcelona's Victor Valdes, a safe pair of hands. Bottom left corner for me please. Surely eastern European...? Or a Triga film at least. Daniel Pudil, a Czech left winger. He's the Pat Butcher of players, with his record of drink driving and pub fights.

Top row number four with the nice hair that looks like early David Beckham.

Seeing as Steven already has the Sontaran, I'll have the third one in on the top row.
Someone will have to let me know how I'm doing because football is like a foreign language to me.

Can I have top row number 5 please. Thanks That'll be Fabio Grosso, an Italian World Cup winner with a smashing left foot. Top row number four with the nice hair that looks like early David Beckham. And that's FA Cup winner Niko Kranjèar of Croatia. His hair is much shorter now but he's still lovely to look at. Seeing as Steven already has the Sontaran, I'll have the third one in on the top row. And that's Rafael van der Vaart of the Netherlands, the perennial dark horses of football. He's an attacking midfielder.

Can I take the third one from the left on the middle row. The one with the blonde side parting and slightly craggy face? Aside from being one of the few vaguely decent looking ones he's the only one I recognise.

May I have top row, furthest right?
I don't think they/he's already gone (ahem, first pick my sweet arse).

Aside from being one of the few vaguely decent looking ones he's the only one I recognise. The craggy faced one is 23 year old Christoph Leitgeb, who plays for Red Bull Salzburg in Austria. May I have top row, furthest right? I don't think they/he's already gone (ahem, first pick my sweet arse). That's Yýldýray Baþtürk, the Turkish midfielder. Although it is customary for Turkish footballers to be known by their first name, Baþtürk is usually known by his surname due to his German upbringing and his rise to prominence coming in German football. (His surname means Chief Turk). If you want to switch to any of the other teams then you're welcome, but only on the grounds that you are very sexually drawn to the player in the photo.
