So I'm sure some of us here will be interested to see the groups drawn today and pondering the outcomes of next summer. I'm really excited anyway and can't wait for it to start.

Group A
Poland
Greece
Russia
Czech Republic

Group B
Holland
Germany
Portugal
Denmark

Group C
Spain
Italy
Croatia
Ireland

Group D
Ukraine
England
Sweden
France

Some great matches there but Group B has to be the 'group of death'. Very hard to call a winner.

But I'll be biased. COME ON YOU BOYS IN GREEN!

i don't think group c is easy at all, i think it's the hardest,more than group b in my opinion.Spain is world and europe champion,Ireland has already defeated italy in a friendly match,croatia always was a hard contestant for italy,especially in 2002 world cup.So for sure group b is hard,but portugal isn't that strong,it's passed for few the qualifications,maybe denmark could be a bit as croatia is,a very difficult contestant.

I'll be joining the Irish band wagon and personally supporting any teams that Czech Republic or England come up against. The latter because I'm Scottish and supporting England's opponents is a national past time. The former (I'm sure you'll agree with me Stuie) because I'm still sore about the qually campaign against those jammy, robbing bastards!

As for the groups, they're all pretty fucking hard! But I'd agree with nuclear, Ireland got shafted up the arse, that's a tough group! Spain are the obvious favourites, but if Van Persie carries on how he is into next year, Holland might pip them to it? What do you guys think?

I think Germany will win - they just seem to have the most complete squad...Still my hopes go to England and the Netherlands..I've been always supporting them although I'm almost sure that the English team has no chance..

italy is sooo fucked up

the onle only thing i dare say is that the new champion wont come from group A. as for the rest, theres too much buts and ifs. i mean there are obvious favourites like spain and the dutch but in 90 minutes everything can change. for example no one is considering portugal or italy as a top favourite, or ukraine (yeah their team isnt strong but its their home ground). i hope croatia play their own game and that is attacking football wthout reserves. if we lose we lose

edit: yeah and group B has three euro winners and one finalist

Only one thing is sure here. My country Poland will lose all their matches in group A, and will not play further. We are in EURO 2012 only because we are the co-host with ukraine, still have hopes for them, but c'mon, Poland is the worst team in whole competiion.
