Tomorrow, 9 AM Pacific time. Pot 1 Poland Ukraine Spain Holland Pot 2 Germany Italy England Russia Pot 3 Croatia Greece Sweden Portugal Pot 4 Denmark France Czech Republic Ireland Worst case scenario: Spain Germany Portugal France My prediction: Spain England Portugal Ireland
Ideal situation: Poland/Ukraine Italy/Russia Czech Republic Sucks to play the host country but in any situation, I rather play Poland or Ukraine at home than Spain/Holland anywhere in the world. The Italy selection may ruffle a few feathers but I wouldn't be scared to play them. They're significantly worse than Germany & England IMO. Russia would be most ideal out of pot 2 of course, but I'd rank Italy as 2nd best scenario. I know some of you will say "we always beat England" but their due for a win over us lol. France is a good team in pot 4, I want nothing with the "Revenge over Denmark" story line. We could have said that after they won the world cup qualifying group yet we still let them win the euro group too. I think we're better than them and wouldn't be scared but Czech is a better draw. Ireland are tough and would give us more issues than Czezh. Can't wait to find out!
I got this on my first try: - Portugal - Russia - Poland - France Best case scenario, would be pretty funny if it happened.
I got the same and said not too bad. Ukraine and France are doable and Germany plays a relatively open game which fits us well. It could be worse.
France always seems to get the opportune penalty shot against us and Germany IMO is the strongest going to this point. For sure it could be worse though.
Only team I would rather avoid in the group is Germany. Everyone else can suck it. I welcome Italy and Spain. Heres a Portuguese stream. They are already doing "Pre-Draw" and talking about Euro. http://veetle.com/index.php/channel/view#4ed14868a954a
