Oh boy, look at those groups.....another proof that winning the EC-title is more difficult than winning a WC-title.
During ECs there are hardly any weaker or exotic teams.
Pretty equal and strong group.
Prolly Portugal and Czechs are favourites there.
My prediction: 1st Czech, 2nd Portugal.
Austria is in horrible shape atm. Can't see them winning a single match.
Can't say anything about the recent croatian team.
Poland showed some strong and convincing victories, they are pretty difficult to beat atm.
During the last 2 years the german team developed depth and grew more stability.
Many experienced players were injured for months (e.g. Ballack, Frings, Lahm, Schneider, Mertesacker, Klose, Schweinsteiger, etc) but the team managed to qualify for Euro2008 easily.
New players got chances to play, gained experience and showed their class.
Judging the playermaterial and playstyle, this is prolly the best german team since decades.
Althought german teams mostly did well during big tournaments, i have my doubts that they could win the whole thing this time.
My prediction: 1st Germany, 2nd Poland.
wow, i'm pretty speechless. "Group of Death" pops into my mind.
And once again France and Italy facing eachother in a group.
Jezz, can't describe how much i'm looking forward to see all matchs of this group
Would love to see Netherlands kicking Italy out.
Okay i'm german, so by DNA i should be against any dutch team, but i always like to see them...
...getting kicked out...ehmm....*cough* i meant taking part in huge tournaments with their style of play.
Well, Frances big time was about 2000, but they are still a skilled team that can beat every opponent,
My prediction: 1st Netherlands, 2nd France (yeye i don't like Italy ).
Guus Hiddink, he really knows how to surprise with underdogs. nevertheless Russia won't make it.
Greece showed a strong teamplay in the last games. If they keep up with that, they maybe survive the group-stage.
Spain is always a team with good skills, but somehow they hardly managed to get any good results in big tournaments. Hope this time it will be different.
My prediction: 1st Spain, 2nd Greece
