Yesterday, Croatia beat Germany and Austria tied Poland.

Group B is now a little funny , my prediction is still semi-correct.  I predicted that Germany would be the champion and Croatia would be the runner-up.  However, Croatia is set to be the champion and I’m just guessing that Germany will take the runner-up spot.

Death Group Rumblings: Group C just got shook more than shake and bake, Italy tied Romania and Holland beat France.  Holland is really showing a strong start.  Here is how the point scale has shaped up: Holland(6), Romania(2), France(1), and Italy(1).  The next set of games will be Holland vs. Romania and Italy vs. France.

Analysis: This is where things get shaky.  Holland has already been crowned as champions but everything after that is up for grabs…literally.  Surprise, surprise Romania is beating both Italy and France in points.  If Romania beats Holland, they will be the runners-up no matter what happens between Italy and France.  Italy or France needs a win to ensure that one will move on.

Prediction: While both Italy and France lost to Romania, both suffer from slow starts.  This is something that Holland has not suffered from as they beat up on Italy and France.  Romania will lose to a very strong and confident Holland side.  Holland just has to many pieces and they are all working properly.  Italy and France is a different can of worms in itself.  Both have played their way out of being champions or even runners-up.  Now only one will get to move on.  This maybe biased but I just have a feeling Italy will win this game.  They have been scored on less by one goal and should be at the top.  I also have more faith in Buffon than Gregory Coupet, not to say that I don’t love both of them.

Tomorrow Spain and Sweden will duke it out to see who will be the Group D champs.
