official Euro 2012 thread

[Steven P. Administrators]

With Euro 2012 just over two weeks away, I've setup a poll.

Vote for your winner & top scorer (if yours isn't listed please specify it in a post). After a brief absence England is back in it, and Ukraine makes an appearance as co-hosts. Official Euro 2012 website here.

This thread will be updated with scores and the TBD final rounds of matches.

Good luck everyone, whoever you support (Y)

well it won't be England I know that ;)

Spain or Netherlands

[Daedroth]

I reckon the final will mimic the World Cup final - Spain vs Germany. By far the two best teams in Europe.

England, not a chance.

Have to agree there unfortunately (and voted Netherlands) :(

Germany or Spain will win the title. I'm hoping the former.

[Redmak Administrators]

Netherlands

[Damian]

Voted Netherlands.

In other news. One weird friendly later today: Bayern M?nchen - The Netherlands. :|

[Steven P. Administrators]

Yep will be watching that, Robben playing against his own (other) team :s

[ShMaunder]

England probably won't.... but I wouldn't mind a score line of England 5 - Germany 1 *again* even if they're not in the same group :rofl:

Lets say Greece - they have to win something this year.

[Jimmy0]

Voted Netherlands / Gomez.

Hoping England can put some sold of mild performance together.

[Noir Angel]

Germany will get to the semi finals or finals even though their squad is weak because they will have just enough to hold out for draws and then beat people on penalties. Spain will win. England will flop and be lucky to get past the group stages. Netherlands a good tip if you want a dark horse.

[ambiance]

I voted for the Dutch even though a part of me wanted to vote England.

Hm. Which community member was it again who produced the flag badges for the 2010 World Cup? We should have them again for the Euro 2012...

Me, but they don't seem to be online anymore. I have to look where they are and upload them again if anyone would like them.

Why did imgFTW removed them in the first place?

Portugal isn't going to win a single match. FML

[mattmatik]

Germany/Huntelaar

Would be nice to see Poland do well for my Polish friends here in the US.

^Nice posters!

As for original question..i am hoping for Germany to win.

[Jimmy0]

No idea what has just happened in Group A tonight.

Russia have had an absolute nightmare!

[sundayx Veteran]

I'm a bit confused, why did Greece advance and Russia didn't? I thought if all is same, GD determines it and Russia is +2?

Edit: Nevermind someone answered this is the Greece vs Russia thread.

When was the world cup final Spain v's Germany?

I think England will win and Walcott top scorer.

Head-to-head, goal difference doesn't count in this tournament.

Greece beat Russia so Greece go through even through Russia scored more goals (GD +2) and Greece didn't score more goals (GD =0).

Points 4 each.

He probably meant Euro 2008.

Or semifinal of last worldcup :(

I was sure that South Africa 2010 was a Spain vs Germany final, I had convinced myself that it was. But alas, I was incorrect.

The Netherlands are out of the competition after finishing bottom of 'the dead group', Group B without a single point/win/draw.
