Euro 2012 predictions/Discussion Thread

[Keith]

Just over a month to go to this Summer's major Football Tournament and I am really excited. Will be interesting to see what England can do under new management not least, because
he will only have five weeks to prepare the team. Will Spain carry on their dominace of recent years or have they peaked? Can the likes of Germany, Holland and France
take over as top teams? And who will be the suprise packenge of the tournament?

Who do you think will advance from each group and who do you think will lift the trophy at the end of it?

Group A
Czech Rep
Greece
Poland
Russia

Winners Russia
Runners Up Poland

Group B
Denmark
Germany
Netherlands
Portugal

Winners Netherlands
Runners Up Germany

Group C
Croatia
Italy
R. of Ireland
Spain

Winners Spain
Runners Up Italy

Group D
England
France
Sweden
Ukraine

Winners France
Runners Up England

Euro 2012 winners Germany.

I think when you see how good the german youngsters were two years ago in the world cup, they will be even better now and they also have some good experience to balance it out,
the manager is solid, and they normally have the smarts to go far in tournament football. It is their time I think. If England reach the quaters I will be happy.

I'm not making any predictions till early June to see what injuries happen. it always seems to be injuries right before the Cup. i'm stoked for it though, international football any day over club.

 

[Dale]

Can't see past Germany or Spain really, maybe Holland at a push.

France v Germany final.

England out at group stage, SNM.

 

[Keith]

Would be good to see Holland win it. Think France are a dark horse, they have slipped a lot since their glory days of 98-00, but they are on the road back without maybe having the depth of some of best teams.

I was thinking of running a prediction league for the Touraument anyone up for that?

[Keith]

Well thats a three including myself, anymore. If there is enough interest I put the group fixtures up in a couple of weeks. Think I will have one point for a correct result, and two for a correct score.

 

[Dale]

I'd probably join if I remembered.

 

[Doink]

Would anyone be up for Euro 2012 Five Alive as well?

 

[Keith]

What is it?

You pick 5 players who are involved with the Euros. Everytime one of your players scores you get a point, player with the most points at the end wins.
