I made predictions before the tourney started in the other soccer thread. Teams in CAPS will go through in my opinion

Group A- GREECE, RUSSIA, Czech Republic, Poland
Group B- GERMANY, NETHERLANDS, Portugal, Denmark
Group C- SPAIN, ITALY, Croatia, Ireland
Group D- FRANCE, ENGLAND, Sweden, Ukraine

It would be a bummer if the Dutch don't move on, but right now it looks rather grim for them.

I think the dutch still have a good chance. They need to defeat Portugal which is not impossible at all given that they are not playing good football, and Germany should beat Denmark easily.

TheVoxyn · « **Reply #73 on:** June 14, 2012, 12:34:01 PM »

They should beat Portugal with 2 points lead though. And since they couldn't even manage to score once against Denmark..

Wow...Ireland

Well, I still hope for the Dutch team, but they are making things difficult for themselves.

Who's everyone rooting for? I'd love to see Russia win.

Elite · « **Reply #76 on:** June 14, 2012, 03:52:54 PM »

I'm rooting for The Netherlands, England and Ukraine/Poland. About in that order.

But the first seems highly unlikely at the moment. We need to beat Portugal. It;s not impossible, but it would be very sweet if we can make it through to the next round.

Germany.

We have the team to win the cup, though I fear that we will once again be beaten by spain.

Cyclopssss · « **Reply #79 on:** June 15, 2012, 02:09:14 AM »

Well, I'm not holding my breath for the Dutch. They look Tired, washed up and more importantly, not as a team. Their coach persists in playing the wrong players and in a system that worked somewhat two years ago, but all the competition is onto their tactics. As a team they have not progressed, but are instead in danger of surpassed by far lesser teams. As a fan I'm hoping, but realistically, future looks grim. Chances that were 100% goals two years ago, now are totally wasted. What the hell happened??

I don't get why Afellay has been starting both games so far. He might be good, but he has been injured almost all of the season, and it's not like they don't have good replacements.
Why not play something like this instead?

RVP - Huntelaar - Robben
Sneijder

I'd change Van Persie and Robben, but yeah, that could totally work. Very aimed at the offense, but that't necessary against Portugal. Losing with 4-0 would be even better than winning 1-0.

Zantera · « **Reply #82 on:** June 15, 2012, 02:35:25 AM »

I also think De Jong played pretty poorly in the previous games. Why not bring on someone else, like Strootman? From what I've heard he's good.
And Vlaar in the defense is much better than Mathijsen and Heitinga IMO.

Looks like the Ukraine-France game is raining away.

Come on now Sweden, you can do it!

Nekov · « **Reply #85 on:** June 15, 2012, 01:47:28 PM »

It looks bad for the Sweden team. Not that England is doing anything great anyways...

That goal was beautiful (2-3).

Haha Welbeck!

TheVoxyn · « **Reply #92 on:** June 15, 2012, 02:39:25 PM »

I'm rooting for Sweden though :x

Progmetty · « **Reply #93 on:** June 15, 2012, 02:42:11 PM »

I'm neutral on that one, but I think England is doing better.

Sorry Swedes, so close though!
Is it me or are the audience chanting Seven Nation Army for some reason?

I do believe that Sweden can beat England

Scorpion · « **Reply #98 on:** June 15, 2012, 03:16:07 PM »

Damnit! I missed the second half of the game, and that's when four goals fall. Figures.

Elite · « **Reply #99 on:** June 15, 2012, 03:27:17 PM »

That's how you round up a game! Fucking brilliant work England.

Theo Walcott is the hero, awesome finishes.

(Sorry Swedes, but I'll have to root for my own roots)

Sweden didn't really get a tough group, they've just sucked so far.

How the fuck did we win something?

AcidLameLTE · « **Reply #104 on:** June 15, 2012, 03:59:36 PM »

England aren't a bad team. They just, some how, manage to screw up soooo much.
