    I must say neither of teams look so impressive,all are so equal and this Euro could finish like the last one with some surprise.I was watching Germany against Belarus and i must say i dont get why they are some number 1 favorite to win Euro,i must say i dont see them as a winners i would rather go for Spain although they arent any more impressive than Germany,all teams are similar and its hard to predict so i wont give any predictions:D


  • Registered Users Posts: 761 ✭✭✭grahamo


    There are no teams that really stand out as potential winners. With most teams being so evenly matched it should be more interesting to watch as a neutral. I would go for Germany to win and Ronaldo top scorer as he got Portugal there almost singlehandedly with the amount of goals he got in the qualifiers.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 41,926 ✭✭✭✭_blank_


    Winner : Spain
    Top scorer: Is RvP in the Holland squad? If so, him.

    If not, Ronaldo.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,552 ✭✭✭Bobalicious93


    Winner: Portugal, with Russia losing in the final

    Top scorer: Pogrebnyak (the russian bloke. i've no idea how to spell it hehe)




    edit: haha i just looked up the spelling and i was right

    He's missing the warm up games and is expected to miss the first game of the tournament I think.

    Without match fitness and sharpness I wouldn't expect him to do much, especially in the group of death.

    i'll go with Italy to win, and Larsson top scorer :pac:

    Croatia are my dark horses though, everyone wrote them off as soon as Eduardo broke a leg but i think they are capable of a few surprised results.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,925 ✭✭✭aidan24326


    Spain or Germany to win. Possibly the Germans. Torres top scorer.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,815 ✭✭✭Charlie

    For me, Its Portugal and Nuno Gomes. If he can convert the shots into goals, he will be the man.

    Interesting that Holland have the (3rd) highest number of shots but the lowest number of goals.

    Do they normall play with one up front and lots of shots from midfield, this is portugals problem too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,630 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    Winners: Spain

    Top scorer: Fernando Torres

    Surprise package of the tournament: Croatia


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 589 ✭✭✭vincenzo1975


    Eduardo is a huge loss for Croatia, I dont think they can perform as well without him.

    I think it will be from Germany Portugal and France, the big shock will be Italy falling in the first round in my opinion.

    I just hope that Portugal have a striker that can score goals(the weakness in the past) and that Benzema and Torres get their fair share of games. Benzema could be pushed to the sidelines by the Anelka/Henry partnership.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,396 ✭✭✭✭kaimera


    Spain ftw {like every competition before :/}

    Klose == Golden Boot.

    Is that because Dirk Kuyt plays for them :)

    I think Portugal might win this one.
    I would love Torres to be top scorer but i think it will be a French player....il go with Anelka, can see one or two of those matches involving Turkey or Poland being a crazy 4-3 or a 4-0 game or something. Theres usually some player who gets a hat full of goals in a game like that who wins.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,611 ✭✭✭carlop


    I'm a bit surprised that Germany are favourites, i'd go for Italy if they get out of the group, if not Spain.
    Klose to be top scorer


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,746 ✭✭✭Drag00n79


    Winner: Germany
    Top Scorer: Klose

    Germany
    Torres


  • Registered Users Posts: 848 ✭✭✭Muff_Daddy


    Portugal

    Ronaldo


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,224 ✭✭✭✭SantryRed


    Wouldn't be too surprised to see Romania get out of the Group of Death with Italy. I reckon France will be beaten by them in the first game.
