Asunto: UEFA Euro 2012 > Ukraine - Poland

yep

An eye for an eye. Seems good advice in life ...

I know!

only terry and lescott the experienced CB for england now..

and there's news that there's a friction inside spanish NT between madrid and barca players.. that's something shouldn't happen when you're a NT player

I can't see Spain reaching the final this year, the squad looks weaker than it did during 2008 and 2010. Netherlands vs Germany in the final, with Germany winning.

germany indeed the strongest candidate for the champions. their squad really look solid. although only bring two striker, but gomez and klose can be decisive.

as for the netherlands, their only home work is how to cover their left defense. bouma could be useful but he ain't young anymore and willem is too young.

maybe italy could make it to final. they still have buffon and when balotelli is not going crazy he will be dangerous up front with either cassano or di natale.

I don't think Italy will get out of the groups, with all the controversy around them. I think Croatia will be surprise packages again, they've got a lot of class players.

remember when calciopoli problem first arised? they came out good at that year tournament. i won't underestimate their fighting spirit in a big tournament.
for this kind of spirit or maybe we can call it fortune, only germany and brasil who has it beside italy. they always perform good in the main round although in the qualification round they were performed bad.

and france have a decent chance imo. they have a good attacking power and a good goal keepers.

I don't think Di Natale will play

Balotelli - Cassano, supported by Giovinco

unfortunately ITaly lost Barzagli today, which means they will use Bonucci...so no change for good result, imo

di natale have experience, and he is always play well with udinese. he has the chance to play imo, than borini or diamanti.

and which one is good as a supporting role, giovinco or montolivo, we will see it :)

surprise?

for me italy is the weakest team in the group.

my predictions:

Group A

Russia
Poland
Greece
Czech Rep.


Group B

Germany
Portugal
Netherlands
Denmark



Group C

Spain
Croatia
Rep. Ireland
Italy


Group D

France
Sweden
England
Ukraine

my predictions:

Group A

Russia
Poland
Greece
Czech Rep. (want it, but we have weak team)


Group B

Germany
Portugal
Netherlands
Denmark



Group C

Spain
Croatia
Rep. Ireland
Italy


Group D

France
Sweden
England
Ukraine

Di Natale has experience in failing with Azzurri...he never did well in the NT.

As for Diamanti, he will play [if he plays] on position of Montolivo...though I don't think that we will see much of him, even though he had a good season.

Russia
Poland
Czech Republic
Greece

Germany
Netherlands
Portugal
Denmark

Spain
Croatia
Ireland
Italy

France
England
Sweden
Ukraine

Russia vs Netherlands
Spain vs England
Germany vs Poland
France vs Croatia

Netherlands vs Spain
