Euro draw!

The Euro 2012 draw handed Ireland a tough draw against the defending champions Spain, 2006 World Cup winners Italy and Croatia.

The Euro 2012 draw was held at the National Palace of Arts in Kiev



Ireland, appearing in the championships for the first time since 1988, will open against Croatia in Poznan on June 10. Yet it is the games against Spain, winners in 2008 and World Cup victors in South Africa last year, and 1968 champions Italy which will most excite their fans.

Giovanni Trapattoni's men will travel to Gdansk to face Spain on June 14 and return to Poznan to play Italy four days later.

Group A will be viewed as the easiest of the tournament as hosts Poland find themselves up against Russia, the Czech Republic and Euro 2004 champions Greece.

Surely the toughest group will be B, which sees old rivals Germany and World Cup finalists Netherlands meet. While Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal and Denmark make up the other two teams.

England, meanwhile, face France and Sweden while also being drawn in the final Group D with co-hosts Ukraine. Fabio Capello's side will begin their campaign against rivals France, whom they have not beaten in five meetings, in Donetsk on June 11. England have chosen to base their training camp in the Polish city of Krakow but all their group games will now be played in Ukraine.

Germany will come in hard and heavy in the Group stage, and obviously move on from the group stage, but they always seem to be losing steam after that stage. I am a Spain fan, but one cannot deny the delight in seeing Germany destroy a team.

i'll be honest Germany provides some of the most entertaining attacking football in major tournaments crushing their opponents but remain trophyless since 1996......

I believe though that this young team has what it takes to go all the way
they play total football as a unit and this is the formula to take home trophies

i believe that football has left South America and is owned by Europe now
its hard to call any team weak in Europe thats why Euros is a tougher competition (compared to world cup which includes Concacaf and Oceania)

So let the best team win ....I'm believing it will be Germany

[DevilZ]

past results is no guarantee of future performance eh

Look I like Germany.... Pele said that Franz Anton Beckenbauer was the toughest defender he had evever faced... But you all forget history... 1930 Brazil Loss in Rio de Janiero against Urugary... It is know as a Black/Dark day in Brazil... The Brazilians are not going to let anyone come into there country and beat them easily... This is there redemption for 1930... Germany big yeah... But Brazil Bigger...

[axe]

boy look at recent trends....Football has left South America my friend, Europe owns football now...best team in South America???? possibly Uraguay...any threat to Germany, Spain, Holland? negligible....

[rfari]

^^well said axe. only chance that brazil has to win wcup in 2014 is if this have the christ the redeemer statue from rio in goal. that the ONLY way.


then again, the bandwagonist believe that this arsehole will be their saving grace.

[shiv2111]

An still Brazil has the players bcuz if Barca and Real running him and Ganso but mostly him down then he aint really good....
Aging....an still great...but fitness and missing home kills him....

I do respect Germany bcuz they beat Ghana 1-0...When you meet up a team wth the Same Strengths as you or almost the same and you beat that what I like....(Physical strength,speed,stamina, power,etc)
