I've done a lot of debating with friends and myself, and I am going with my heart over my head.

The Dutch will triumph through the group of death, blaze past russia in the quarters, beat the Fransies in the semis, and win a rematch against Deutschland, all the while regaining Robben's dignity.

Went to look at the odds and the Danes are the biggest longshot. I guess because of their group but still +3500 for the 10th ranked team is pretty crazy...went with the dutch +450

France

They had a horrific World Cup showing, and they want to make it to their country.

Spain, their reserves could start for half the teams in the tournament.

I think France will surprise people, but I think Germany is still the favorite. The Dutch will push them though.

Not that i'm complaining really, but where did all these new posters come from in the last few weeks?

I'm guessing there are a lot of closet soccer fans that just come out of the woodwork for USA games? Or the recent rash OF USA games has lured them in, and ESPN's EURO marketing entrapped them?

Russia, Denmark and Croatia have more of a chance than Portugal/england/sweden in your eyes? weird.

But honestly on the first three teams I just named I only KNOW two names right off the top of my head.
Arshavin & Modric.

Germany, unfortunately.

Dutch have no chance IMO.

France as a longshot.

Spain's day has passed, I think.

You've erased Bendtner from your memory. This is a good thing.

I think you should lump Portugal and Denmark in the same tier. They are both in the group of death and considering to be fairly close to another.

I would move Denmark down IMO.

Their last friendly was actually this year (Feb 29 I believe) and France won 2-1. It was France's 18th straight win under Laurent Blanc.
