Group A: A tough group, very hard to decide who will go through. All the teams look even and I am sure we will see a lot of exciting matches in this one. Czech Republic might just finish at the top followed by Greece. 1. Czech Republic 2. Greece 3. Russia 4. Poland
Group be Both my first and second favorite team are in this group- Netherlands and Germany, So it is very hard for me to pick who to support in the match they face, and I think they are the powerhouses in this group. Portugal and Denmark have really no chance against them. Since Germany crushed Netherlands just recently in a friendly so I think they will top this group 1. Germany 2. Netherlands 3. Denmark 4. Portugal
Group see Another tough competition between Spain, Italy and Croatia. But I think that Spain will finish first and Croatia will finish second. 1. Spain 2. Croatia 3. Italy 4. Ireland
Group D A little obvious group with England the favorites seeming like the only one's to finish on top. Sweden will finish second due to France's bad form since the World Cup. 1. England 2. Sweden 3. France 4. Ukraine
Quarter Finals Netherlands vs Czech Republic- Netherlands Win Germany vs Greece- Germany Win Spain vs Sweden- Spain Win England vs Croatia- England Win
Semi Finals Netherlands vs Germany- Germany Win Spain vs England- England Win
Ughhh I was totally going to write out my predictions / slots / whatever tonight. Will do it in a bit-- terribly uneducated guesses coming through. Sorry, this was a non-comment
No its not, its Euro 2012, they just made it early so we can actually discuss it, think about it logically why would they make a section just for qualifiers?
So I think this tournament is going to offer up some big surprises.
Out of Group A I can see Russia and Poland moving on. I don't think the Czechs are what they used to be. Poland has a good keeper in SZCZ. I don't know much about this group in all honesty though.
Group be I would like Germany and the Dutch. I think the Germans will win it. Portugal isn't playing that great. And Denmark has Bendtner.... Nothing more needs to be said.
Group see Spain and Ireland in an upset! Spain is the best team in the world by far. But I see them stumbling in the knockout rounds.
Group D I'm going to say France and the surprise team of Sweden haha. Honestly, I don't see England going through to the knockouts without Rooney.
I'm hoping for a Germany v Spain final with Germany winning! I gotta' support my roots

* Russia and Poland advance with Czech Republic and Greece going home
Group be
1) Netherlands vs Denmark= Netherlands 3-0 Denmark; Netherlands will win this match 3-0 undoubtedly to send a strong message to the teams in their group
2) Germany vs Portugal= Germany 2-2 Portugal; I see this being a game full of goals but with it ending in a 2-2 stalemate
3) Denmark vs Portugal= Denmark 1-1 Portugal; I see this being the game where Denmark will try their hardest but Portugal defending the whole game with it ending in a 1-1 draw with Portugal scoring late to equalize
4) Germany vs Netherlands= Germany 2-1 Netherlands; I see this game being the "Game of the Tournament" with it being the most exciting game out of the bunch with it ending in a Germany win with it being 1-1 most of the game but Germany scoring late to win it
5) Portugal vs Netherlands= Portugal 1-3 Netherlands; I see this being the game where the Dutch rebound off that loss to Germany by beating Portugal, and also this could be a repeat of Germany 06 when at the 2006 World Cup we saw so many yellow cards and red cards with it all ending in mayhem, perhaps a fight occurs again
6) Denmark vs Germany= Denmark 0-4 Germany; I see this being the game where Germany dominates and they will score a lot of goals to keep it entertaining
* Germany and Netherlands advance with Portugal and Denmark going home
Group see
1) Spain vs Italy= Spain 4-1 Italy; I see this game being the game where Spain dominates by controlling the pace of the match with Italy scoring early but Spain taking off afterwards to finish it off
2) Croatia vs Ireland= Croatia 3-2 Ireland; I see this being a tough game but Croatia pulling it out in the end to win it
3) Italy vs Croatia= Italy 1-0 Croatia; I see this game being deadlocked at 0-0 for most of it, with Italy scoring late to finish it off, in stoppage time, to bounce back from that loss to Spain
4) Spain vs Ireland= Spain 2-0 Ireland; Spain I think should win this game with no problem, and I think they will only score 2
5) Spain vs Croatia= Spain 0-1 Croatia; I see Croatia causing an upset beating Spain in the final group game with Spain resting their players in the final game
6) Ireland vs Italy= Ireland 1-2 Italy; I see the Italians winning this to really make things interesting in the standings
Standings- Group see
1) Spain- (6 points but in first place because of goals for and goals against) 2) Croatia- (6 points also but in second because of goals against them) 3) Italy - (6 points also but in 3rd because of goals scored against them and have less goals compared to Croatia) 4) Ireland- (0 points)
* Spain advance and Croatia advance with Italy and Ireland going home
Group D
1) France vs England= France 2-1 England; France wins this match resoundingly but England also making it tough on them during the game
2) Ukraine vs Sweden= Ukraine 3-3 Sweden; I see this game having a lot of goals making it exciting and entertaining but it ending in a 3-3 draw
3) Ukraine vs France= Ukraine 1-0 France; I see this being the game where Ukraine could cause an upset here and considering they are underdogs in this match-up and they are one of the hosts to co-host this thing, I could see this being the game where they try their hardest to get a result in front of their fans getting a win
4) Sweden vs England= Sweden 1-1 England; Another stalemate game between the English and the Swedes considering whenever they face each other, it always ends up a draw, so I thought to myself that this is going to be another one of their exciting games
5) England vs Ukraine= England 3-1 Ukraine; I see this being the game where England finally wakes up especially after Rooney since he is set to make his return here, with him back in the lineup, it will be the catalyst they need
6) Sweden vs France= Sweden 1-2 France; France will scrape by here and get this victory
Standings- Group D
1) France (6 points) 2) England- (4 points but advancing on goal difference) 3) Ukraine- (4 points but ultimately getting eliminated because of goal difference) 4) Sweden- (2 points)
* France & England advance with Ukraine & Sweden going home

Semi-finals
Netherlands (Winners of Game 1) vs. England (Winners of Game 3)- This game will be I think "the Game of the Tournament" with it being really tight all the way throughout with it ending in a 0-0 stalemate but Netherlands breaking the deadlock in the 115' minute with 5 minutes left to go, to go all the way to the final
Germany (Winners of Game 2) vs. Croatia (Winners of Game 4)- Germany wins this match-up 2-1 to advance all the way to the final sending Croatia home
