That will be tough for the Azzurri, they have to overcome a "deadly" group with France, Romania, and the Netherlands. And after that, more big teams... Germany and Portugal, on the other hand, have a much less difficult draw, and if things don't go wrong for them, they will meet in the first semi-final. The winner will be in the final, with not too much energy spent in the former stages.

What a terrible shame - a referee blocked Finland's passage to the tournament with a false off-side call. It was so close. Would've been the first time, ever.

Anyway, I'm rooting for Sweden and the Czech Republic.

If you want to win it, you must be able to beat any team. But you're right, in such short tournament it's also important how much energy you can save.

However, I don't think Italy has much harder group than Germany or Portugal. There are two good teams in group C and that's Italy and France. Netherlands are overrated due to their football tradition, but curently they don't have a team that can match Italy or France, if they would be playing the same as on the last 2 tournaments, they're surely out. Romania is outsider, but they can get some points from the "big ones".

In group B, Germany has a difficult situation, as Poland and Austria would be highly motivated against them, they would beat Austria probably (which is IMHO the worst team on Euro) but can have a lot of problems with Poland, not to mention Crots, who have a great team this year, which is, in terms of quality, close to their generetion of '98. Anyway even if they were in an easiest possible group, I wouldn't count on Germany, they have an overrated team.

Portugal in A has Turkey, Switzerland and Czech Republic, which are all good teams, they will probably be first, but would have to put a lot of effort.

I think Spain can be champion also, considering their first team, but they are usualy in bad form on big tournaments.

We can probably expect repeat of final from WC: Italy vs. France (Europe vs. Africa ).

I like how Croatian team is playing now, they have a young and talented team, I expect them to reacher quarter finals, maybe they can even go as far as semi-final, who knows.

That's a crucial point, Italy lost the Euro 2000 final and went into trouble in the 2006 WC final due to exhausting semifinals. Usually, the team wich got trough the less difficult semifinal wins the tournament (with the exception of the last World Cup, but it was tight).

Portugal will be a serious contender, Scolari's teams do always good in the big tournaments. And Switzerland is a very difficult team to beat.

I will rule out Spain, because they usually are more a sum of talents than a real team.

That's impossible, the draw has forbidden it. France and Italy can meet again, however, in the semifinal for a rematch of the classics of Rotterdam 2000 and Berlin 2006.

You are right, Greece will be difficult again to beat, mostly because everybody seems to make the same mistake as four years ago, that is seeing too much as underdogs. Btw, Greece's gameplay was fantastic in Portugal.

Because Scotland, the only deserving team in Europe, was robbed of their chance. A team that went head to head with Italy and chased them around. Until one very stupid ref threw them a bone (it WAS fixed, I have evidence). Scotland should be up there . But they are not..

So i'm throwing my weight behind Croatia. They beat England, they kept them out. All hail Croatia!
