  • Euro 2012 – Day 3 Predictions (Spain – Italy, Ireland – Croatia)

    After seeing the first upset of the tournament yesterday, Spain hope not to be the next tournament favorites to drop point on their opening match. It’s funny treating Italy as such underdogs, but that’s their situation. Ireland and Croatia will close the day in Group C, in one of the toughest matches to predict in Euro 2012.

    Euro 2012 moves on to day 2, opening the matches in the Ukraine with the group of death (Group B) everyone’s waiting to see. Denmark will try and upset hopeful Netherlands while Germany and Portugal clash later, in Cristiano Ronaldo’s effort to show he can do it with the national team as well.

    Euro 2012 finally kicks off in Warsaw’s National Stadium as Poland play Greece, opening the tournament and the Group A competition, and later we’ll get the chance to probably see a better match, with Russia and the Czech Republic going at each other in Wroclaw at the Miejski Stadium.

  • Euro 2012 – Four Favorites and Predictions

    For me, there are four nations in the Euro 2012 that can win it – Spain, Germany, France and The Netherlands. Other than that? It would be a huge surprise to see someone else lift the trophy, althouh miracles do happen once in a while – Just look at Denmark in 1992 and Greece in 2004. But according to that calculation, we need four more years for a shocker.

  • Euro 2012 – Group D Preview

    A semi group of death, if Sweden were six years ago and England had a side people believed in.

  • Euro 2012 – Group B Preview

    A group of death, like every big tournament needs. The Dutch were part of something similar four years ago, making it in flying colors, just like their qualifying campaign; Germany are the favorites of many to win Euro 2012, but Joachim Low’s squad is far from perfect; Portugal have only Ronaldo to base their hopes on while Denmark will try and shock everyone once again.

  • Euro 2012 – Group A Preview

    Group A, consisting of Poland, Czech Republic, Greece and Russia is probably the hardest to predict in the Euro 2012 group stage. Poland relying on their ‘German’ players with a coach known to experiment and surprise; Greece who will probably bore and depress everyone again; the Czech Republic who seem to be impressing no one heading into the tournament; Russia, with an attacking style but with plenty of egos Dick Advocaat needs to handle.

    The 2011-2012 NFL Playoffs kick off in a few hours, getting us started with Wild card weekend. The Houston Texans will play their first ever postseason game, but too many problems at QB and over reliance on Arian Foster will make life very hard against Anrew Dalton and the Bengals.

    The Green Bay Packers might be the team with the best record in the NFL, but the New York Giants look scary heading into the NFC playoffs. In the AFC, it’ll probably be between the New England Patriots and the Baltimore Ravens after chewing up the Wild Card winners.
