EURO 2012

post #1 of 3

So economic armageddon is almost upon us. Well to hell with that, Euro 2012 is just around the corner!

Not a bad draw for England. Well, apart from France, who we haven't beaten in the last 5 matches:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/england/8931892/Euro-2012-draw-England-will-play-France-Sweden-and-hosts-Ukraine.html


The draw for the 2012 European Championships at the Palace of Arts in Kiev was
relatively kind to England, with France, Sweden and co-hosts joining them in
Group D, while Ireland must face Spain, Croatia and Italy.


England
will begin their campaign against rivals France, whom they have not beaten
in five meetings, in Donetsk on June 11.


England have chosen to base their training camp in the Polish city of Kraków
but all their group games will now be played in Ukraine.

Republic
of Ireland, appearing in the championships for the first time since
1988, will open against Croatia in Poznan on June 10.


In a mouth-watering Group B, the Netherlands, Denmark, Germany and Portugal
were all drawn together, while co-hosts Poland will face Greece, Russia and
the Czech Republic in Group A.


World and European champions Spain will tackle Italy in their opening group
game in the Polish city of Gdansk on June 10.

My pick is France, Spain or Germany. Despite their horrible track record in recent tournaments France is unbeaten in 18 matches. Spain is Spain. And certain Germans will be hoping to regain their pride after the champions league final.

Any thoughts? I'm hoping this thread will be as entertaining and stimulating as the world cup thread 2 years ago. I know Stelios and Bucho will be watching!
