EC qualification rounds are a joke. Any team that consists of decent players with some exceptional players in their midst should qualify. Barring any existing issues within the group that is. Like the bilingual problem of the Belgium team for example.

And in 4 years the amount of teams being able to enter the EC will be 24. Teams like Spain and Germany wont even need to field their strongest team to qualify.

Also, a team falling apart is usually a longer process. The beginning of the qualifications we where still pretty much in 2010 form. At the end we lost to Sweden and got hammered in a friendly by Germany. Oh yeah, and won 11-0 to San Marino.....

I guess this time it will be vica verca.

If Spain would play with Villa and Puyol, they would be my favorite as well. But they can t replace them.
Torres is no team player...and this will shows in the semi or final.

+ Germany s striker Mario Gomez (who is half spanish btw) is in a very good shape at the moment.

It is still possible for Spain to bow out. If they lose against Croatia and Italy wins against Ireland today.

Germany should obviously send Greece home but the semifinal will be a completely different game.

I dont really want to defend the Dutch team but Bayern is pretty much the German team minus Ozil and Hummel.

And if Germany bloses in the final, half of the team will be celebrating 4 runner-ups in one season.

Vamos Torres!

one goal for croatia now in second halftime + italy win (1-0 right now) AND WE HAVE THE BIGGEST UPSET AT EURO .

bigger than the fact that holland can´t win a single match and have to drive home.
that was surprising .

Forgot Khedira and Podolski in the first 11 yes. Anyway, it wasnt really what i meant to say. I just wanted to say that bringing up the match versus Bayern does not mean anything. Neither side took it serious at all.

Lets forget i said it. I really hope Germany will win the tournament by the way. I like this teams mentality and style of play. Good luck!

The tournament is quite open really. I hoped Croatia would proceed with either Spain or Italy, don't care about those two countries anyway. Spain wasn't convincing at all tonight. Really lackluster up front, and Croatia also got some good chances. Only saw the 2nd half though.

I've still got my bet on a Germany - France final, won by Germany.

I was kidding, but still. Also, Robben played for Netherlands in that specific friendly. Doesn't matter though. I am completely surprised with the Netherlands. And surprised at Portugal, since they have been crap for a number of years.
