The official mascots, Slavek and Slavko (pictured above), are excited about the Euro 2012, are you?
The draw was held Friday and we are all set for an exciting Euro 2012 from Poland and Ukraine. Let us analyze the draw.
Group A: The Poles hit the jackpot as they drew Russia, the Czech Republic and Greece in their group - easily the most boring of the four. The Poland-Greece opener could be the worst match of the entire tournament. Russia are the hot favourites to advance, and we believe Greece will join them.
Group B: Here is the vaunted "Group of Death," with the Netherlands, Germany and Portugal joining a dangerous Denmark side. The pressure should be on the Dutch to start with three points against the Danes. We believe Germany and Portugal will survive this gauntlet.
Group C: The opener between defending champion Spain and Italy is the match to watch. Spain have not beaten Italy in a major competition since 1920. A draw in that fixture should be enough for both sides to see off Croatia and Ireland the rest of the way.
Group D: This quartet contains England, France, Ukraine and Sweden. The big question is can England screw this up? The resounding answer is yes. With Wayne Rooney banned and a tough trip to Donetsk to face the home side lined up last, the Three Lions are poised to crash out once again in spectacular fashion. Go with France and Sweden while enjoying the English implosion.
