I'd like to see either the Danes or Greeks go through but Turkey would have to mess up royally not to get in at this point.

Agreed.
I'd love to say Denmark and i do think we will win both of our remaining games(at home to Greece and away to Kazakhstan) but fact is, Turkey would need one BIG screw up not to beat Albania. its tough for us, but we've been lucky in the past, i judt don't see us being lucky this time around.

I think Greece is out of chance. Turkey or Denmark.

1) Turkey
2) Denmark
3) Greece (Greece will only make it if they get EXTREMELY lucky...and I think they used up all their luck last summer :))

I think it's incredible that hardly anyone is picking Greece to make it. Of all 3 nations, Greece is the only one that has their destiny in their own hands. If Turkey defeat Albania, and Greece win both their two matches (definitely feasible) Greece would have 24 points to Turkey's 23. The match that will be the decider then is Greece going into Denmark. If Greece can pull off the away win, they are all but in with only a home match remaining against Georgia.
So don't write off the Greeks too quickly...

Greece would be in a much better position had they beaten Albania away in their opener.
Greece has won only two away games, at Kazakhstan and at Georgia. I doubt very much that they will win in Denmark.

its not like the danes have set up a fortress at home over qualifying, and these are the champions of europe. i'll take greece because the same reasons they kept got through in portugal will be the same reasons they get to germany.

If you look at the Danes' performance in the qualifying, then they are easily beatable. But if you look at their recent nt match record:
Denmark - England 4 - 1(friendly)
Turkey - Denmark 2 - 2
Denmark - Georgia 6 - 1.
At the moment, the Danes are the best playing team in the group. Ofcourse, its all a little too late but fact remains that the Greeks have maybe a 10% chance of winning in Copenhagen. Turkey will get the second spot.

Well, i only pointed out Denmark's recent run of good form. I could have also pointed out Greece's recent run of HORRIBLE form.
0-3 v. Brazil(confed cup)
0-1 v. Japan(confed cup)
0-0 v. Mexico(confed cup)
2-1 v. Kazakhstan
I think if not 10%, then 15-20% would be fair.

Ukraine really did Denmark no favors last matchday. Looking back at the Albania win over Greece at home, maybe they can just nick a win against Turkey and send the Danes through. I remain hopeful that Denmark will be there.
