Euro 2012

[John McGovern]

Who is going to win?

I'm going with Holland, I really like the look of their squad.

 

[Mystic]

Definately Germany.

 

[the_khl]

Now we only need someone to mention Portugal and then you've got Denmark's group lined up in here.

*very scared smiley*

Holland is a good shout indeed especially as I don't think Spain will win. Germany has even looked a bit off their old pace too. Perhaps there's a surprise lurking in the shadows?

England anyone? Or perhaps a stubborn Italian side. Or the French underdogs.

*Denmark's only got an outside chance to even make it through from the group stages but IF that should indeed happen then we'd probably be a dark horse.

 

[John McGovern]

France will be interesting.

 

[Dirkus_Circus]

Will be rooting for Sweden and Denmark but I think It will be Germany's tournament to lose tbh.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Germany. Hopefully.

 

[the count]

I reckon with a huge slice of luck Ireland can

... draw a game?

 

[Oncy]

Spain. And it baffles me that you are going elsewhere.
Xabi, Xavi, Iniesta, Fabrigas, Silva, Munain, Llorente, Martinez, Ramos, Puyol, Valdes, Casillas, Torres etc

If Spain dont win it will be a shock.

You rightly figured out that I neglected to finish my sentence

 

[Holle]

Spain. And it baffles me that you are going elsewhere.
Xabi, Xavi, Iniesta, Fabrigas, Silva, Munain, Llorente, Martinez, Ramos, Puyol, Valdes, Casillas, Torres etc

If Spain dont win it will be a shock.

Neuer, Hummels, Lahm, Badstuber, Boateng, Khedira, Özil, Podolski, Schweinsteiger, Gomez, Klose etc.

I'm afraid Germany will cruise to victory easily.

Im not just listing names mate, im listing world and european holders. Im listing multiple European cup winners.
I dont mind if Germany win, I like them.
But Spain are still a class above the Germans and Dutch.

 

[gene hughes]

Italy

 

[gkmacca]

I never have a clue until the tournament starts. Germany, obviously, tend to spark into life. Other than that, who knows? Most of the stars look knackered.

I know, mate. What I wanted to say is that Germany's individual quality can match Spain's.

I can see your point that Spain's squad is packed with players who have already won things. But on the other hand Germany has the hunger and desire to win this year, maybe more than Spain. So that's why I fancy Germany's chances more.

 

[gkmacca]

Ireland squad: Given, Westwood, Forde, Dunne, O’Shea, St.Ledger, O’Dea, Ward, Kelly, Foley, Whelan, Gibson, Andrews, Fahey, Duff, McGeady, Hunt, McClean, Keane, Doyle, Cox, Long, Walters.

I'll be surprised if Ireland are able to clinch a single point in their group. Maybe if Croatia have a very bad day but otherwise...

 

[Modo]

Where's Macca?

 

[Shadey]

We doing a sweep stake?

 

[Oncy]

Theres only 16 teams mate im not sure its worth it?
Let me have a think.

 

[Athens]

Ireland squad: Given, Westwood, Forde, Dunne, O’Shea, St.Ledger, O’Dea, Ward, Kelly, Foley, Whelan, Gibson, Andrews, Fahey, Duff, McGeady, Hunt, McClean, Keane, Doyle, Cox, Long, Walters.

Standby: Randolph, McShane, Green, Coleman, Keogh

Greatest squad assembled ever in the history of the game.

I especially like Long, Walters. Sounds rude.

 

[Dirkus_Circus]

BTW how crazy is it that a team with this much talent isn't even in the tournament?
Simon Mignolet

Daniel Van Buyten

Vincent Kompany

Thomas Vermaelen

Eden Hazard

Marouane Fellaini

Steven Defour

Moussa Dembélé

Romelu Lukaku

In fairness thats what was said in 88 when we had the Soviet Union, England and the Dutch in our group. You may remember England lost their three matches

 

[Fabio]

Ridiculous really. Nearly all if them are good and young though. I think they'll be at the world cup though.

Add mertens and their attack is incredible.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Xabi, Xavi, Iniesta, Fabrigas, Silva, Munain, Llorente, Martinez, Ramos, Puyol, Valdes, Casillas, Torres etc

Yes but Germany have home advantage.

 

[Gary25]

Fancy the Germans to win it, and i hope they do. Love their style of play. Either them or Spain would be fine.

Aslong as England don't win it, i'll be happy enough.

True that. Don't get me wrong - I'd love Ireland to do well but I simply think that the odds are against you.
