Don't know how many footie fans are here
but going to start now with the groups being drawn today
I bolded my predictions

Group A
Poland
Greece
Czech Republic
Russia

Group B
Netherlands
Denmark
Germany
Portugal

Group C
Spain
Italy
Croatia
Ireland

Group D
Ukraine
France
England
Sweden

Group B is the Group of Death and my goodness, those matches will be EXCELLENT.

Im a big DUTCH FOOTIE FAN
but was truly disappointed when Germany crushed the dutch in a friendly a few weeks ago

[LSF22]

I grew up watching England, but their standard and play has dropped over the years... always don't know what to expect anymore...

I supported Spain and De Dutch during World cup... so would love to see them in the end.

*Agreed with most of your picks, although I think Czech will surprise and do better than Russia, and not feeling Denmark... prob gonna go with Germany

[iwantaskyline]

Spain and Germany are the favorites. France is very underrated, especially with a in form Benzema who was not on the 2010 World Cup squad. England still sucks, no Rooney for first 3 group stage matches lol.

[Tim Budong]

HUNTELAAR to lead the way for de dutch!

[iwantaskyline]

HUNTELAAR to lead the way for de dutch!

If anyone is going to lead the Oranj its Robin Van Persie, that guy has been scoring a goal per game pace this entire year.

[StylinRed]

I bolded my predictions

Group A
Poland
Greece
Czech Republic
Russia

Group B
Netherlands
Denmark
Germany
Portugal

Group C
Spain
Italy
Croatia
Ireland

Group D
Ukraine
France
England
Sweden

Group B is the Group of Death and my goodness, those matches will be EXCELLENT.

Ireland

Group D
Ukraine
France

We'll see, Huntelaar is usually a sub just like in the 2010 World Cup final against Spain.

Germany is the favorite with young stars like Ozil and Gotze. Klose should be good since its his last EURO, but I'm thinking its Gomez's year.

Germany's my team and I really do think this is their tournament. Ozil has been doing awesome for Madrid, and the rest of the midfield (Schweinsteiger, Mueller) are just as good, if not better. With all that talent, Gomez just has to be there for the pass, just like at Bayern. Not to mention the best 'keeper in the world plays for them too!

Neur is quite the keeper. I'm hoping for a Spain/Germany final. Only thing about Germany is their centre backs are a bit suspect.

LOL Ukraine and Sweden Match is gonna be awesome if they make it all YELLOW and blue ahaha

but they wont :okay:

[murmur]

i hope wilshere, chamberlain, and adam johnson will feature for england.
despite the english team is dropping in recent year, there are foreseeable stars and i expect them to do well.

germany is tipped to be the big winner, with khedira, ozil, and podolski.

spain, although they were big hits during euro and world cup, it just seems the conflict between the madrid and barcelona team is causing the overall spanish morale to drop. spain could play well if they focus the attack mostly on barcelona player, and leave the defence to madrid. (kick xabi alonso out and put busquet in, leave ramos and casillas for defense, and get torres that scam out of the way too)

portugal will not most likely make it through the group stage.

poland will most likely go through to final 4, they have decent attack and a good goalkeeper (chesney), but they need to be extra careful of their leaking defence.

for france, although samir nasri and benzema would play a big role, i still can't see they go through, given their recent recession.

[murmur]

anyone find it ridiculous that ukraine's shevchenko still playing?
he past his prime already and refuse to give up his space for young promising player.

[murmur]

yeah group B is killer

Ireland is underrated imo think they'll have it this time to advance their group

have you even watched irish football lately?
ireland was lucky to draw with estonia for the euro playoff.

i think the irish team will fail to go through the group stage. i can't see how they would be better than spain. who can ireland rely on anyway? robbie keane and glenn whelan? keane is old and whelan is average at best.

Yup, you're absolutely crazy if you think Ireland will qualify in a group that has Spain and Italy. Even if Cassano and Rossi aren't ready to play in the EURO's, Italy will still finish second in that group.

Guaranteed Chamberlain is not going to be selected, Wilshere yes.

As for "leaving the attack to Barca players on Spain" and leave defending to Real players, you do understand the only players from Real Madrid on Spain are defenders, a goalie, and a defensive midfielder?

And the Polish goalie is Szczesny not Chesney!

France will do well, the old guard is gone and the new one is ready.

[LSF22]

Pretty sure Puyol and Pique will anchor the defence for Spain... and they both play for Barca

im hoping they'll get it together after all they would've been in the world cup if france didnt cheat

and i think theyve got a chance getting into the top 2 Italy hasn't been stellar, hell they barely beat slovenia ;)


i dunno im crossing my fingers for them :D

I'm predicting Germany too

P.S England to not make it out of their group

[tseman]

hey guys, need your help on a pool.

Everyone picks 15 players - 7 forwards, 5 midfielders, 3 defensemen. There is a 4 player cap per team. This is to avoid everyone picking just the favorites or a single squad. Everyone picks fantasy style though, whatever players they want. You should obviously pick strategically based partly on how far you think the team your players are from will advance.

A goal is worth 2 points. An assist is worth 1 point. A hat-trick by your player is worth 3 points (on top of the 3 for the goals). An extra 15 points for picking the Golden Boot (top goalscorer) is added at the end. Finally, an extra 10 points for picking the tournament winner.

Post your 15-man squad here, along with your pick for the Golden Boot and the tournament winner.

what would your picks be?

[RacePace]

Forwards: Gomez, Klose, Van Persie, Benzema, Balotelli, Ibrahimovic, Llorente

Midfield: Ozil, Xavi, Iniesta, Ronaldo, Muller

Defense: Hummels, Pique, Bonucci

Golden Boot: Klose

Tournament Winner: Germany

[TjAlmeida]

Damn group B Will be good. Holland, Germany, Portugal, and Denmark.

Forca Portugal!

[tseman]

Forwards: Gomez, Klose, Van Persie, Benzema, Balotelli, Ibrahimovic, Llorente

Midfield: Ozil, Xavi, Iniesta, Ronaldo, Muller

hey racepace..problem..
there are too many germans. and ronaldo is a fowrad not a midfielder. we have to fix that

Germany and Holland will make it out of the group

[TjAlmeida]

yes they probably will. Crossing my fingers for a Portugal upset. Russia dominated and wish I got to watch Greece n. Poland

[vyrospec]

Watched a bit of Greece and Poland.
Poland imo had the upper hand of the game and lots of offensive chances. but credits to greece to tie the game and defend despite being a man down

[vafanculo]

I think russia is gonna be the greece of 2004 this year

[ae101]

ref was on polands side most of the time & we all knew russia was dominate

dorma over here in asia the game starts at 12am 2nd game starts at 1:30am some ppl need to sleep cuz they have work tomorrow

Well I picked two teams: One expected to win it all and another that wasn't. Did anyone really expect Greece to go deep or even come out of their group?

Yup. Football really needs video replay for goals. The ball is clearly past the goal line.

[TPMarko]

match fixing? :troll:

[pastarocket]

Thanks to England's victory over Ukraine, the French advance to the quarterfinals. France doesn't look impressive at all, in that 2-0 loss to Sweden.

-tough test coming up for the French when they play Spain in the next match.

[Brianrietta]

It seems like Ukraine was just robbed of a goal

The initial pass forward was offside and should have been called dead anyways. Proves the goal line officials really aren't all that useful for what they were originally intended for though.

Regardless, call it karma for that Lampard "goal" against Germany.

[falcon]

The no goal call on the England/Ukraine game was rediculous. It clearly crossed the line. Not to mention Italys blatant offside goal yesterday.

yeah that no goal call was total bs

Now they have to play Spain :fuckthatshit:

[Brianrietta]

Why? They scored more goals against Germany than the Dutch did, (lol).

[The Hype]

Greece were lucky to get out of their group, and luck can only take you so far. I was hoping I'd see the patented front flip by Klose, but seeing him score is good enough for me!

DEUTSCHLAND UBER ALLES!!

[StylinRed]

i couldnt watch the game so they lost eh? Ki da figured that would happen

[european]

Rats, I just realized with Greece out of the tournament, the camera guy most likely won't show the cute Greek blonde anymore... booourns! :(

Oh well, its back to singing the German anthem :p

Its clear you are the bandwagoner, poland and russia were favs. Greece is shit, and can only score on lucky counter attacks. They have no goale scorer, samras is way past his prime. Lucky to go through the group thanks to the czechs.

Except I watch every god damn olympiakos game on Greek Satellite.

Guys think a team is bad because they just play the long ball and dive.

Big deal if they dive, so does every player in soccer. You guys are just making assumption because most players on the greek squad except for like 3 play outside of greece.

Holy Carp!

Nobody is outside gardening today in North Burnaby. Just me..........


WHole neighbourhood is inside screaming at the top of their lungs. I guess by the sounds of it Italy is in the lead or won a game or something like that, LOL.

Trying to imagine the neighbour's 26 year old daughter jumping up and down. :fullofwin:



Sadly, I don't watch soccer.

[XplicitLuder]

dammit ! :okay: italy def deserved the win the way they played, but i wanted england to advance =/ oh well. hopefully my gf's parents arent mad LOL

It's probably why you can't distinguish a good soccer team from a shitty one. You watch too much greek superleague soccer.

that was a pretty good overall game despite the score but damn.. how many opportunities did italy have

[vafanculo]

Woulda been a dissapointed loss for me if eng won the shootouts. That bolatelli .. Such a threat, but just can't finish.

I'm pretty confident that italy will take out germany, especially if they play like we did today. Pirlo needs to be the man again.

[westopher]

So glad england lost. My job just got a whole lot easier.

[Taxmonkey]

:( Sad loss for England

germany vs portugal


victor germans

[RenoMan]

Dont expect england to win anything. Just brcause their players play in the epl it doesnt mean their as good as they think they are. THe only one worth mentioning is rooney

[Ronin]

Ze Germans are going to destroy Italy on Thursday. No way they can play the game they played against England if they want to stand a chance.

[murmur]

:( Sad loss for England

took this at the london pub of vancouver, where all the england fans gathered to watch the match.
pretty much show the happiness and sadness of the england fans...

on a side note, i wish this video will encourage more soccer fans in vancouver to gather up and watch future games. the atmosphere is really good!
