Official Discussion Thread for the Euro this Summer.
I for one am stoked since I feel the Euro is the best International competition "trimming the fat" if you will.

Predicitions.
Group A: Russia- 1, Poland- 2(a toss up between them and Czech)
Group B: Germany- 1, Netherlands- 2.... wish Portugal could surprise someone, but I doubt it
Group C: Spain-1, Croatia- 2... Croatia partially because I hate Italy, but I think Croatia can actually take Italy
Group D: France- 1, England- 2


France wins it all by beating England for a second time.. more of a hope than a prediction, but oh well. Hope Spain doesn't win and I'd love to see Ireland be competitive.

Good Times.

Talk about miraculous. Feel for the Poles. They just couldn't buy a goal in this tournament.

This might be stupid but can someone tell me why Greece advanced and not Russia, they are tied in points and Russia has more goals.

its because Greece beat Russia in the game. in the event of a tie for points the first tiebreaker is whoever one the match between the two teams, if that game was a draw then it goes to goals.

how chelsea got to the champions league final...

i think its poor form, doesnt equate to good soccer, but its a good tactic against a stronger team.

no doubt I am a chelsea fan but that game was painful to watch, bayern was definitely the better team. Greece won the euro in 2004 with that strategy so it does work, but it is still annoying to watch. I enjoy your views on sports sir.

Germany 3 - 1 Denmark

Holland 4 - Portugal 2

I'm hoping Holland finds their goalscoring rhythm today.  These aren't my real, objective opinions; it's just what I want.

if germany loses to denmark there is still a chance they could be eliminated, they need a tie for sure, but they will go for the win like dingosean said, because that is there style

3-0 Germany 2-0 Portugal. Since the Netherlands is going to be puahing forward so much, I think their D,which we already know is unstable, will have a lot of

Let's just get Bouhlarouz to take care of Ronaldo.

I think Ronaldo might still have nightmares about him from the 2006 Match:

Just my opinion, but i don't believe Germany is gonna win so big. Have you seen Denmarks last games? Unfortunately i have to agree with you on the 2-0 for Portugal.

Netherlands starting line-up:

Stekelenburg, Van der Wiel, Vlaar, Mathijsen, Willems, De Jong, Van der Vaart, Robben, Van Persie, Sneijder; Huntelaar.


Finally VDV and Hunt in the starting line-up.
I'm thinking Portugal will win but you never know.

The Dutch line-up is composed of some incredibly good players right now.
