Germany Passes, Croatia Undefeated

I’m right! I’m right! While my predictions are not solid for Group B, I still predicted that Germany and Croatia would pass. Now they are passing, however in a different fashion. Portugal will now play Germany and Croatia gets to play Turkey. Both will be very good games and should not be the least bit one-sided. Two powers will square off-Germany and Portugal.

Tomorrow the Big Game!

Italy versus France will be one of the biggest games for this group stage. Romania will try and halt the Holland stampede that took down both France and Italy. If Romania wins, they will pass as the runners-up with Holland shocking the entire European Cup faithful.

Stunned Czechs Going Home

Today a stunned Czech side lost to Turkey. As I have recently stated before, today’s match between these two teams would determine who would go home and who would move on.

Czech: I projected that the Czechs would move on and not Turkey. However, things have gone for the worst for them as well as Goalkeeper Petr Cech. The Turks will move on to play Croatia which is interesting, to say the least.

Portugal: Ronaldo and company are moving on to face Austria or Germany. This is very interesting to say the least because the potential Runner-Up to Group B will face them. Turkey will only have to face Croatia-this is still a good match however more even than a Portugal v. Croatia face off.

Tomorrow’s Matches:

Poland v. Croatia

Austria v. Germany

Potential Upsets: With an Austria win tomorrow, Germany could be sent packing and my Group B predictions would also get a shake. If Austria pulls off a win, they would move on to face Portugal which will be yet another test of their true talent.

Euro Update

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.
