Group A
Switzerland
Czech Republic
Portugal
Turkey

Group B
Austria
Croatia
Germany
Poland

Group C
Holland
Italy
Romania
France

Group D
Greece
Sweden
Spain
Russia

I have bolded the teams to go through, Groups C and D are definatly the groups of death. Not an easy group there as they all have some quality and could all go through.

 

[Craig]

What timing as we created the threads both at pretty much the same time and even the thread titles were the same.

Can't disagree there.

Group C is a fair bit higher level than Group D though.

Greece and Spain to go through, for mine. Sweden in legendary choke.

I don't see Group D so tough.

- Spain: the greatest chokers of the world and all time. The might win the group, but then they will lose, as they always do.
- Sweden: they only have one good player (Ibrahimovic). The rest is nothing special
- Russia: If England had not committed suicide, Russia would be at home.
- Greece: the are the defending champions, but I don' t see them as a good team.

 

[Matteh]

I say Russia and Sweden. Spain will choke, Greece aren't the same team they were 4 years ago, Russia have Guus and Sweden always grind out some results.

My choices.
I don't rate Sweden at all & I expect France to survive maybe even top Group C.

Spain to win Euro '08. France won't win a game, would still expect to see a Salamuddin thread about how great they are though.

Like a Shockeroo supporter can talk....

I mean your muppets got knocked out in the first round of the Asia Cup itself and then proceeded to whinge about everything that was conspiring against them.

Group C is absolutely ridiculous. I'd feel conspired against if I was the Romania manager right now, they've got no hope in Hell.

On a side note, it's quite amusing that had England qualified in place of Croatia, we'd have ended up in Germany's group by the looks of things. Bet we wouldn't have gone through anyway.

Spain are the #1 chokers. Before every competition, it is said: "Spain will win! Spain will have a great tournament!" And then what they do? LOSE! So, I would not bet a penny on Spain.

 

[Steulen]

Hi Stefano, more important matters than the choking bull-running pantswetters to think about. How about Netherlands vs Italy as the first game of the tournament for them!

I see a 1-1 tactical draw with both teams advancing in the end.

I know, but I'm quietly hoping they can turn all that around tbh.

Bzzt. Wrong. Had England qualified and the same team from each pot been drawn, the groups would have been

Group A:
Switzerland
England
Portugal
Turkey

Group B:
Austria
Italy
Germany
Poland

Group C:
Nederland
Czech Republic
Romania
France

Group D:
Greece
Sweden
Spain
Russia

Bet English fans would have loved that group. Complete with diving Ronaldo.
