With the home nations having flopped in the qualifying stages of UEFA EURO 2008, 30% of Brits will be switching their allegiance and donning new colours during this summer's tournament, according to a poll by EA SPORTS.

Reigning World Cup champions and tournament favourites Italy are the nation capturing our hearts, with more fans choosing to back the Italians over any other team. The Netherlands and Spain are also proving to be a popular choice for one in ten Brits who will understandably be looking for new heroes to root for this summer.

The poll, carried out to celebrate the release of new game UEFA EURO 2008, found that the reasons for adopting a nation were by no means based on footballing factors alone, with 20 per cent citing a love of the locals and culture as a major influencer, and 5 per cent of men basing their decision on the most attractive women!

Two thirds of fans will be watching every match on TV in order to follow their adopted country, whilst 6 per cent will be taking the dramatic step of hot-footing it over to Austria and Switzerland to take in a live game, compared to the 60,000 who followed England in Euro 2004. An over-enthusiastic 300,000 fans will be going the extra mile for their chosen side by draping their chosen colours over both house and car!

But whichever country you've chosen to support, you'll love EA's UEFA EURO 2008 game. UEFA Euro 2008 features stunning visual representations of the world's best players, playing in a more accessible, faster-paced and responsive version of the market-leading EA Sports football engine, and all of the teams and official stadiums that will be part of UEFA Euro 2008. Take on the challenge of leading one of over 50 European national teams to glory as UEFA Euro 2008 recreates all of the drama and excitement of the official tournament in Austria and Switzerland. Play as your favourite country from qualification right through to a virtual reproduction of the championship tournament.


We've got FIVE X360 copies of the game to give away in this online competition.
