Euro 2012 Poland- Ukraine

[aussiepride]

group a: russia and czech rep to progress

group b: group of death, but germany will top it, with holland to progress as well. portugal are just not playing well enough to get points in this tough group

group c: spain to top the group, croatia to progess. croats always put in a good show, and italy was just sliced apart easily by russia 3-0, so expect the lack of harmony to test them again

group d: cant pick it. i hope england gets through, but they will be without rooney for first 2 games. france are a dark horse, they have a backbone of great youngsters that won the euro championships in 2004 as un -17yrs. expect benzema and nasri to be stars of the tournament if france has a chance.

if germany and spain top their groups, they will not meet until the final, and england will pray they top their group to avoid spain in qtrs, although if russia or czech meets spain the the semis they both have a good chance against them.
spain is def favs, but they always have trouble scoring goals a lot of goals. they recently played china, and although dominated the match, only won 1-0. against germany russia and netherlands, the spanyards luck mite finally run out (unless of course torres starts scoring).

Semis tips:
spain v netherlans
germany v croatia

having said all this this is why i love football.
i think euro is better to watch than wc
and winners like greece and denmark means all your tips mean crap once the tournament kicks off. cant wait!
