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.

The odds are for Germany winning are 1.28... of course they are going to destroy the money leeching nation of Greece.

i thought the same thing, i was like damn there some hotties in here.

But i hate it, cause my neighbors next door's game is about 5 seconds ahead of mine, so every time german gets a good shot i hear a "OHHHHHHHH AHHH"

Im in germany right now so its the best.

maybe, but i think this game has to be taken with a grain of salt,it was against greece. more or less like the spain vs. ireland game where spain were just as dominant

seriously, germany can win this shit, greece's goals were sloppy and damn lucky, germany dominated that play so hard, if they had started playing offensive earlier it would've ended in 0-1 or 0-2 .....

also, on the second german goal, where the fuck was greece's keeper ?
haha, what a doofus .....

Germany should definitely keep Reus in against Italy/England. I'd put Gomez back in for Klose and maybe consider trying Gotze as well. They looked great today.

hummels is probably the best "newcomer" of this tournament. imo the best defender so far.


klose/gomez is not an easy question. against greece klose was an obvious choice. against a team that wont defend so much, gomez might be better. reus/schürrle did ok, but against a tough team, you probably cant afford to have both of them in

they didnt choose gomez for the whole game cause he would be fucked up by the greeks, see what they tried at sweinsteiger?

He's got too much of an ego. Ribery and Benzema are better players.

Yeah cause Benzema has so many goals in this tourny right? Makes sense not to play the player who has been performing...

Not to happy myself about Nasri, but Cabaye and Malouda are quality as well. I think Spain will have some trouble with Frances attacking players specifically Ribery

He got into a fight with his teammate. That's why he got benched. Their new line up allows them to play more defensively and clog up space in the midfield. (They're starting Debuchy at right mid)
