I bet no one wants to face Italy in the ko-phase, they are solid team that most of the times performs well at big tournaments and are hard to beat. Spain for example only beat them in a penatly shoot out 4 years ago. They had a bad WC 2 years ago, so therefor the expectations aren't as high as usual. That's not a bad thing for them. As far as France is concerned everybody knows that they have great individual players, but they had those great players in the past as well and couldn't deliver, mainly because they weren't a team and had too many big egos. As of late they seem to have become more of a unit and if that's the case they will be one of the contenders for the title. Löw for example already stated that France could very well win this EC in his opinion. With Cassano and Rossi out iirc, I don't see Italy making a mark. It would be cool to see them win though, despite the match fixing scandal. Germany should roll, although either Holland or Portogal can take this Edit: talking about group B | ||

Watch Messi in Argentine national team if you want to see how well a team based on one world class player works. Italy can wield the best bottom 5 in Europe. Their midfield is experienced and good at their worst, they lack a guaranteed goal poacher which may see them go out early. France is a bit unknown as everyone knew they were going to suck 2010 yet they have great players all around. Now it's all on Blanc not to be a Domenech and they'll do fine. | ||

I think Spain and Germany are the only legitimately considered top contenders with good shot at the title. Russia has an easy group. but if they make it out of their group (which I assume they will), we'll see what they're made of in quarter final when they play probably either Germany or Netherland or Portugal. | ||

Knockout tournament, One match. Anything can happen really. Kerzhakov, Shirikov and Arshavin have been excellent for Zenit, maybe they're tired. Either way, I think we are all looking forward to John Terry lifting the trophy, regardless of the victor. If Italy really withdraws altogether, I tip whoever comes in the win it. | ||

Well since our last title in 1996, our football team always sucked (relatively) when playing at a big tournament against eastern europe teams (We are 2w 3d 4l, with both wins against poland being hard-worked. In the same time we went 6w 3d 4l against rest of europe and 14w 1d 1l against rest of the world) . If we make it out of our hard group and then play one of the "weak" teams from group A, this will be such a trap game, with the whole media just looking for the semifinal already. I really hope we will face poland or greece then. | ||
