or will Germany take it? Will Holland finally get over the hump and win something? Or a suprise team nobody thought of, like Denmark or the Czechs?

Who you got?

My suprise team is France IMO (if you call them surprises).

Germany takes it. I think Portugal finally makes a deeper run.

Edited for ignorance.

Germany wins. Leaky defense for Spain + injuries (with more likely in a friendly v. Serbia pre-Tourney) = No repeat


Other predictions:

England fails miserably.

Ireland or Croatia advances over Italy.

Damn. I did not really keep up with qualifying and I am pretty much a soccer novice.

I kind of assumed they would make it with Kompany, Hazard, Van Buyten, and Jelle Van Damme (not really Van Damme, I just like the name).

It's a good accomplishment just to make it out of that group.

You would think they'd be better. Belgium has underachieved as a team based on the talent they have.

I'll take Germany to win Euro 2012 and the 2014 World Cup.

It may be the least predictable, but I don't see any of those teams doing much.

Germany is the safest bet to win it all, but I think France is a good pick for darkhorse.

Group A =
Sorry, no teams I really care about. I'm semi interested in Russia, and I hope Greece gets shat on because, yeah, frick the Greeks.

Group B = obvious GoD is obvious. Poor Portugal.

Group C = I really hope Ireland can surprise some people and get out of the group. They are my emotional favorite underdog after what happened with the WC.

Group D = The group I will be watching the most since I'm living in France. France/England should be a fun one.

I figured belgium would make it too.
mignolet, vermaelen, kompany, vertonghen,alderweireld, hazard, felaini, dembele, lakaku, etc could be a very strong squad.
wtf happened there

Yeah, they really are. I think USA beating Italy in that recent knocked them from the top 5 to 12 for example.
