France will win this time.

:)

[Cyantist]

France will win this time.

:)

After WC2010 they have something to prove. Very stiff competition during the group stages for England. I would not be surprised if France came first in the group stages and England second.

[itchy]

France will win agains't england 2-0 , i'm sure.


France have the best players of the world, england don't chance a chance.

[graciano1337]

USA! Oh wait... oops. :P

Group B should be a joy to watch. I watched Denmark upset Netherlands and that was a crazy game!

I have no particular team I'm rooting for, I just love watching the sport. :)

[7Force]

France have the best players of the world

They had the best players in the world...back before Apple released the first iPod.

[itchy]

Now, they have the best players of europe :P

[Jamtex]

I predict that England should hold France to a fairly dull 0-0 draw.

[XerdoPwerko]

I remember Denmark being a super strong team when I was a kid - both in the Mexico 1986 World Cup (I was five years old, but still, all I knew about Denmark back then was that they rocked at football), and the 1992 Euro.

I also remember seeing the 96 Euro with supreme excitement, and that Croatian uniform with the Red-White checkers. And that red card play that saved Germany! Was it against the Czech, or against Croatia? Great games, both of those. What a cup.

This time around, it's very likely for Spain to win again, but I'd really like it to be Denmark, or Croatia, or the Czech Republic, or any surprise team. Except Portugal. Because, man, Fuck CR9.

Well the European cup starts here for us.
any European championship is a bit of ruff ride for England
not because we never play that good its just that i feel we never make the most of what we have and
England preform much better in a world cup then in a European cup any day .
i have seen too many England players like Paul gascoinge Gary lineker and david beckham
go trough their whole England career without winning anything for England
and that's make me feel sorry for them.
sure we have been robbed and yes we have been unlucky
but if we don't use up all are potential we will never break the curse of not being champions.
Spain broke the chain and so can we ...it should be an embarrassment to all England fans that we have not played a final since 1966
cos that is looking further and further away as the years go on.

i think tonight's game will be a 1-1 draw just cos England have never won an opening euro game but i hope i am wrong.

predictions
ribery will spend most of the game pretending he is injured when he is not.

GROUP 4
---------------------
ENGLAND 1 FRANCE 1
UKRAINE 2 SWEDEN 1



Not a bad result for the england boys i think france did not look that good on the day
also well done to ukraine .

today's game's are (5pm BST) GREECE V CZECH REPUBLIC (7.45pm BST) POLAND V RUSSIA

I reckon russia will win 3-1 and could go on to win the cup

[XerdoPwerko]

It is quite unfortunate that due to the time difference, I can only watch certain matches. I still don't know what happened today. Russia was probably awesome. Greece probably lost.

CZK R 2 GREECE 1
POLLAND 1 RUSSIA 1




Well i got the Poland and Russia score wrong. Poland are on thin ice only 2 points from 2 games
they will have to beat the Czechs now to go through.
this group is tight.



Germany and Holland today that should be a great game cos Holland have lost one game already

[itchy]

Germany is very strong, they play very well.

[graciano1337]

Germany is very strong, they play very well.

Germany seems to be having there way with Netherlands right now.
