Group B is the hardest one ...
Hope it will be a good Championship

^ Yup, I agree with you..that's the toughest group..
And Netherlands had to bear with Sneijder injury too. Netherlands came with full power after Sneijder healed from injury and Germany came to Euro with many of young players.
While England have to lost Lampard on the player list, and Rooney won't be in the two early matches due to red card.
The previous champion, Spain, also lost Villa due to injury and Puyol too.
France won't have Sagna on the list due to injury, and Laurent Blanc decide not to bring Gourcuff to the Euro..
I think this gonna be an interesting championship..

Yes ... but it is too early, we need to wait 1-2 matches to see, who is stronger and who not ...

Here's the final squad of the 16 contenders from uefa.com:
Czech Rep. (Michal Bílek), Greece (Fernando Santos),
Poland (Franciszek Smuda), Russia (Dick Advocaat),
Denmark (Morten Olsen), Germany (Joachim Loew),
Netherlands (Bert van Marwijk), Portugal (Paulo Bento),
Croatia (Slaven Bilić), Italy (Cesare Prandelli),
Rep. Of Ireland (Giovanni Trapattoni), Spain (Vicente Del Bosque),
England (Roy Hodgson), France (Laurent Blanc),
Sweden (Erik Hamrén), Ukraine (Oleh Blokhin)..

*sigh there just too many old man in Italy squad. Hope they will make it against Spain *at least draw or better, win.

oh wow, netherlands portugal and germany on the same group, thats gonna be one crazy group! anybody else think spains group is way too easy for them?

Thanks a lot Jigoku for making this thread!
I wanted to create it, but I will not be here in July...thanks again

Indeed this time, the group B is the group of the death xD

About us (France), I'm glad to not see Gourcuff in this Euro, his season was really bad...

Hope we'll win against England =D

Probably considering the only threat is Italy.

Yes ... only Italy could be dangerous for them, but let's wait what will happen ...

@Yassu
You're welcome..v^_^
The first ball has rolling on the field..
Currently watching:
Poland vs Greece 1-1 (Lewandowski 17,Salpingidis 51)
10 men against 10 men..

Russia vs Czech Rep. 4-1 (Dzagoev 15, 79, Shirokov 24, Pilar 52, Pavlyuchenko 82)
pic: http://www.uefa.com

Poland 1 - 1 Greece
Russia 4 - 1 Czech Rep.

Poland vs Greece : 2 red cards, 1 penaly save, 2 goal .. but not that big match
Russia vs Czech Rep. : 4 - 1 Way better match than the previous ... The big red machine won , I think Russia played better, good game ...
Oh yes, I think the 1st goal of Russia would have been better, if the header went in ...

Netherlands 0 vs Denmark 1 (Krohn-Dehli 24)...Go Denmark!!
.Ah, why the Danish goes defensive on the 2nd half , they're doing good on the 1st half..

Germany vs Portugal 1-0 (Gomez 73) ~2nd half~
What a nice match! Portugal show a good play, though in the end, the result goes to Der Panzer. I thought Varela would having those shot into the sheet....And what a nice shot from Pepe. Too bad the ball didn't went through the goal line..Germany still rules!
And meh, I didn't expect for those paper thrashing into the match field happened in this championship

2 times woodwork for Portugal ... the match was quit good
sadly a missed more than the half of the NED - DEN game ...

GG Danemark!
Seriously it's the first surprise on this Euro 2012, I really thought that Ned' would win!
But it's 3 precious points for Danemark, above all in a group like that

Jigoku79 wrote:Ah, why the Danish goes defensive on the 2nd half , they're doing good on the 1st half..

You're right but when you lead against Netherlands, your main objective is just to maintain your advance. Moreover I think that even themselves were surprised to lead after the first half x)
Depsite everything, I think it was a good game for Danemark, and once again, it's really 3 precious points for them because they are now first of their group (with Germany)

After about Germany - Portugal: yeah a good game, but poor portuguese they were unlucky with their 2 transversals...
However I was sure that Germany would win against Portugal

For summarize, now Portugal and Netherlands are (almost) obliged to win their next game if they want to hope to go to the quarter finals. Futhermore, a victory for Danemark or Germany is a direct ticket for the quarter

^Thanks for summarizing, Yassu..
Yup, I guess you're right. Denmark need to play 'safe' against the Dutchman.. , so, let's wait for another surprise from the 'Dynamite'!
And meh, actually I'd love to see Germany lost the match yesterday, but Portugal soo unlucky..
Well, now I'm looking forward for today's most awaited match, Spain against Italy!.v^_^

Ye lol GG xD
Let's see how this will be from now.

The Netherlands lost the match with Denmark, this is surprise.
Group B is the most interesting, but I prefer group A because I come from Poland.

Darn, I miss the first half!
Spain vs Italy 1 - 1 ~2nd half~ (Di Natale 61, Fabregas 64)
Ok, Di Natale has ripped Casillas sheet, but Spain equalize it in just a minute, Fabregas came to take Silva's assist..
And I think Navas should learn to pass the ball to his mates..d'oh!
But, Italy surely has a good backline (catenaccio?), and a good counter attack..!

Rep. Ireland vs Croatia 1-3 (Mandžukić 3, 49, St Ledger 19, Jelavić 43)
pic: http://www.uefa.com

Croatia 3 - 1 Ireland
A better match than (boring in my opinion) Spain - Italy.

Italy rules! It seems the favorites got wake up call (see Netherlands and Spain). *sigh* if only Italy manage to hold on. Waiting for France vs England now

France vs England 1 - 1 (Lescott 30, Nasri 39) ~2nd half~
I guess France has more better quality than England..Again, another draw result for the seeded team?

Ah, thanks for the heads up, Tscorpion!
Ukraine vs Sweden 2-1 (Ibrahimovic 52, Shevchenko 55, 62)
pics: http://www.uefa.com/

Watching Ukraine vs Sweden ...
Way better game then England vs France, great game
At the moment Ukraine 2 -1 Sweden
Goals: Shevchenko 55’, 62’ and Ibrahimovic 52’

It seems ironic that all the goals in Ukraine vs Sweden created by former or present AC Milan forwards .uhuh. the past versus the present!

I fancy Germany to go all the way in this one.The amount of talent they have is staggering,plus their brand of football is very well balanced.
