Maxou 66 Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 The best we can expect from my team is to reach the semi-final imo. The team is young and after the 2010 crisis even getting a win in the group stage would be good lol. I also want Russia to go very far.

ChampionsAgain 1,373 Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Spain will go out early, imo. Denmark have potential as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayrshireger 523 Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Thanks mateWhat happened to pepe ?No idea to be honest, might have fallen out with Prandelli or something. There's a few surprises in the squad, would have imagined Osvaldo or Matri would have made it before Borini. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

the goal machine 7,801 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Italy usually flourish on the back of any scandal. In 1982, there was the match fixing scandal which involved Paolo Rossi and in 2006, it was Calciopoli. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought my Kerzhakov top a few days ago I honestly think that France have a real chance to win it don't see why not tbh got rid of all the players that were revolting against the team etc plus I think they will put 2 or 3 past England in the first group game.

Ryan_1 1,136 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Anyone watch the France-Iceland game? or see the highlights?I've previously said that France would be my outside bet for the tournament, but after watching them the other night I'm now not too sure. Defensively they looked extremely shaky, both Mexes and Evra guilty of making simple mistakes. Going forward they are stronger, but they seem to lack someone who can open up a team who are set-up well and organised. England under Roy Hodgson will cause them lots of problems.

plymouthranger 3,872 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 3-4 months ago it was Germany's to lose. Now I think it's swinging away from them, with Schweinstiger injured/off form and a few question marks over the likes of Gomez etc. Honestly think France or Italy have a great chance of getting it, nice dark horses. Lots of people have written them off despite the fact they are two of Europe's "superpowers". Think Denmark will cause a few upsets in their "group of death" also. Don't fancy Spain, they'll miss Villa badly and not taking Soldado is honestly one of the most baffling decisions in world football. Plus how many times do you see a team win 3 major competitions back to back? Never Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKingObv 10,642 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Evra is definitely a weak point. He's garbage defensively. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheKingObv 10,642 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Never understood why Clichy has never played infront of him. Is he exiled from International football or something?Hmm. Up until recently I haven't really rated Clichy, but he's certainly come onto a game.Would probably be a better option than Evra! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayrshireger 523 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Never understood why Clichy has never played infront of him. Is he exiled from International football or something?Clichy is quite erratic as well. Plus he has had Abidal and Evra ahead of him in the queue.

OLE SUPER WILBERT 2,475 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Maybe even Scholes.Doubt he'd want to play to be honest.Carrick should have been in the initial squad. Much better player than Barry. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
