Special Report:   2008 European Championships

IOC President Jacques Rogge says there is no clear favorite when it comes to who will win Euro 2008.

Rogge has, however, expressed his surprise at seeing the Netherlands get the boot, and says Russia might be the surprise winner of the tournament.

IOC President Jacques Rogge said, "Well you know, I had started with predictions that it would be Germany against the Netherlands but that's not going to happen now. You see other teams like Turkey, you know the specialists of the last moment, Russia, who is very appealing and is playing very well, which should not be such a surprise because when you see that St-Petersburg won the UEFA cup, we've seen quality there at that time so everything is possible, we may have totally different finals."
