Group A is a travesty tbh

Ireland can def come second in that group, come on.

we cant pick morison because i will get a headache everytime i see his name spelt, with one r. it is rong.

otm

"I'd have Van Basten shot. I would take him outside and execute him in front of his family."

Fucking hell at Group A. You'd be pleased with that if you got it in qualifying.

oh fuck lol

Trap out

Nah, he taught Prandelli everything he knows. He's got this

I suspect Spain might royally fuck this tournament up. Beat Croatia and you're through imo.

Group A:
Poland - Don't know anything about them in 2011, guessing they aren't worth caring about,
Greece - Ninis is the Freddy Adu of Greek football, right?,
Russia - Excited to see Dzagoev but otherwise snore, GROUP WINNER PICK
Czech Republic - Have they produced a talented outfield player in the past ten years?.

Group B:
Netherlands - are they still comedy heels?,
Denmark - will get destroyed,
Germany - Germany v. Holland always a great rivals match; pick to win it all GROUP WINNER PICK,
Portugal - ronaldoseesotherdudespackagecontemplateslife.gif .

Group C:
Spain - snore GROUP WINNER PICK,
Italy - a land of cassano, supermario and berlisconi i want them to have everything,
Republic of Ireland - Trapp could do Italy and Croatia tbh in boring 1-0 wins,
Croatia - Pros: Modders, Cons: Everyone else.

Group D:
Ukraine - lol remember shevchenko? well he's still the best player in their team,
Sweden - I <3 Zlatan but come on,
France - The 3rd most talented team, on a player by player scale but also LOL France,
England - We'll do really well, no-one will really notice and then Wayne'll return GROUP WINNER PICK.

Don't stop at the group stage, get those hostages to fortune out there.

Ismael says: Germany to win, France 2nd, Holland and fucking Greece make the semis.

Germany Spain final in the best international game in 20 years. You know, the sort of game pundits hate because it ends up 1-0. Germany winners.

Portugal and France semi-finalists.

Balotelli gets arrested.

England look good enough to win it, until the old guard come back in and Wayne decides to get sent off 10 minutes in the 2nd round, we lose 3-1 to Ireland in a bout of LOLs.

I can't think of a less appealing opening fixture ever than Poland v Greece.

+/- on number of pol/greek players referred to by name prior to game on uk tv coverage

More likely to get mention of Boumsong now playing for Panathanikos tbh

ireland vs anyone

it will be all "he once had a spell at west brom" and "villa are interested in him" etc etc etc

group c + d paired together for the quarter-finals yeah?

I hope so - if it's B&C paired together the other side of the draw could deliver a pub team to the final.

It is C & D

Krakow-to-Donetsk is almost as far as Krakow-to-London

Fantasy update: I still can't bring myself to get rid of Rooney. I feel sure that he'll get a hat-trick as soon as I sell him. I've got rid of Suarez instead.

Pleased to hear it.

since we have no rolling amazing gol thread

Need a "rolling quite good goal" thread for that tbh.

Amazing they've managed to squeeze two groups of life from 16 teams for the Euros. Next one will have an extra eight teams o_O

at least it means we'll finally see bale and ramsey and hazard and lukaku and also lots of games not worth watching
