Euro 2012: Group B Sum-up

germany

The outcome in Group B after two rounds is probably the most shocking among all? Yes, they are the group of Death, so we have expected some dramas in the group, but never thought the biggest failure would be Netherlands. One of the finalist in the World Cup might not be able to make their way through in Euro 2012, hmmmm that’s shocking!

Feature: Euro 2012 Predictions

I have given some thoughts to the groups of Euro 2012 after the draw and feel like making some wild guesses. Feel free to disagree with my choices! ;)

Most Unpredictable Group: Group A

Group A consisting Poland, Greece, Russia, Czech
. Personally, I think this group can be quite tricky, simply because they don’t have a team that stands out. Yes, Russia looks like the strongest among all but the gap isn’t that big after all. So any combinations is possible for this group. We may see some new faces in quarter-finals. My prediction? Russia and Poland. The host always has some advantages, no?

Well well, too bad that we had to miss the play-offs. 6-2 is quite a shock to us when the two teams managed to have a nil nil draw just a few days ago. Portugal has scored some brilliant goals last night and they certainly deserve this victory. No surprises in other games, as everyone could have predicted. Croatia, Czech Republic and Republic of Ireland are qualified to Euro 2012, all of these three teams scored in the 1st leg.

Turkey, Portugal: On Their Way OUT of Euro 2012?

Well, this isn’t what we were expecting. Most people think Turkey has the upper hand, not only because they are taking on Croatia at home. Also because they have a coach who can do magic, or maybe creating miracles is the right words. None expected a 0-3 result that you can’t even look at.
