I made some statistics my self. The area of the statistics was the men dorms here in balamand.

I asked 50 guys who is their favorite team in this tournament. The results were as the following:

60% were with germany

20% with Italy

16% with Netherlands

1% with portugal

1% with turkey

1% with Spain

1% with Check Republic

Well I am with germany. The main reason is that I have the german nationality. But it is also because they are tough, serious, and dont give up until the last second. The statement "impossible is not german" is a proof for what I said.
