EURO 2008: British in favour of the Dutch

Going Dutch: Guardian readers say Brits must back the Netherlands in Euro 2008
GO TEAM HOLLAND: 10 reasons why we won't be passing the Dutchies on the left-hand side

Well, Melifluous, furiey and all the others from that island, you know now what you have to do.

This part is just brilliant :

quote:There were 48,232 votes cast in the poll, the overwhelming majority of them - 96.2% - for the Netherlands. (...) If the level of support for the Netherlands seems surprisingly high, it is because Dutch ingenuity even extended to hacking into and trying to rig the Guardian's online poll.

In the final days of voting, the Dutch website GeenStijl (literally "no style") instigated a campaign to tilt the balance their country's way, eventually spawning a triumphant piece of hacking that gave Holland an improbable percentage of the votes.

Since they would have won without cheating, the Guardian decided not to disqualify the team.

I think i'll just be taking each game as it comes, perhaps watch all the group games and pick a team then.
