Euro 2012 - Official Discussion Thread

I have a really hard time seeing Germany/Netherlands losing against any group A teams. Russia seems a lot weaker compared to the last Euros.

Nobody really fancied Russia before the last euros, when they beat the Netherlands it was a massive surprise.

Anyway, I think Germany will finally do it this time.

Denmark is as much if not more of a traditional power than Portugal. Portugal's never won an international tournament.

Portugal has always been more of a force, dude. Come on.

Before 2002, Portugal had only ever qualified for a world cup twice.

Shouldn't Russia be advancing with a better goal difference?

UEFA has silly/different rules than FIFA.

Head to head makes more sense than goal difference.

If there are two teams involved, yes, but not three. As the Spain-Croatia-Italy example demonstrates.

Beating Greece would be quite amusing

Greece beating Germany would be even more amusing.

Yes. And all of non-German Europe would be cheering for the Greeks.

Since when is Greek popular in Northern Europe?

Well, you did ask.

Felicidades a todos los españoles del "Atlas forum".

Can't remember a more convincing win in a major final.
