Euro 2012

Point system: 1) SUBGROUPS (total possible to earn 32 points): For each team whose group finishing position is correctly predicted, you get 1 point. Since 1st and 2nd place are also important in forming the quarter-finals, you get an additional 1 point for correctly predicting them. And if the predicted group order is completely correct (all teams are in the predicted order), you get an additional 2 points. In other words, a maximum of 8 points can be earned for correctly predicting each group. 4 subgroups. A total of 8*4=32 points can be earned. 2) QUARTERFINALS (total possible to earn 16 points): For each correct semi-finalist, you get 4 points. A total of 4*4=16 points can be earned. 3) SEMI-FINALS (total possible to earn 16 points): For both correctly predicted finalists, you get 8 points. A total of 8*2=16 points can be earned. 4) FINAL A correctly predicted winner will earn 16 points. TOTAL: In total, it is possible to earn 32 16 16 16=80 points. In case of equal points: 1) who correctly predicted the winner 2) who earned more for the semi-finals 3) who earned more for the quarter-finals 4) who correctly predicted more subgroups 5) who correctly predicted more subgroup first places. If even then it is not possible to make a difference, the place will be shared. You can predict until 08.06.2012 at 19:00! The winner will receive free VIP status until the end of the summer!

Group A: 1)Russia 2)Greece 3)Poland 4)Czech Republic Group B: 1)Netherlands 2)Germany 3)Denmark 4)Portugal Group C: 1)Spain 2)Croatia 3)Italy 4)Ireland Group D: 1)France 2)England 3)Sweden 4)Ukraine Quarter-finals: Russia-Germany: Germany Spain-England: England Netherlands-Greece: Netherlands France-Croatia: France Semi-finals: Germany-England: England Netherlands-France: Netherlands England will be the winner

I'm not 100% sure, but my predictions are as follows: Group A: Czech Republic (contrary to Rauing's prediction that the Czech Republic will be last) Group B: Germany Group C: Spain (same as Rauing's prediction) Group D: France (same as Rauing's prediction) I predict one of these three to win the European Championship: Germany, the Netherlands, Italy. I can't say which of these teams, but if I had to say one, it would probably be the Netherlands, but Germany's chances are about equal. Wow, a very interesting prediction! I would really hope that England will win the tournament, but to be honest, I don't really believe it. Even here, expectations are relatively modest this time (which could actually be a positive thing) and some even think they won't even make it out of the group stage. I personally think they'll still make it through the group stage, but they'll lose in the quarter-finals or semi-finals...

1.Germany! 2.England 3. Croatia!! 4. Greece!?

I used Rauing's bottom - very nice to enter data:)

I have always had two firm favorites: Sweden and the Netherlands. I also like England, Germany and Denmark. Based on this, the prediction for Group A: 1) Russia 2) Poland 3) Czech Republic 4) Greece Russia is powerful, the Czech Republic is likable, I don't believe in Greece this time. As for Poland, since Group D is powerful, I would still like to predict one organizer. Group B: 1) Netherlands 2) Denmark 3) Germany 4) Portugal Impossible to predict. I suggest that the two head coaches resign after the group stage. I don't like Portugal, the Netherlands is strong, Denmark is highly motivated, that's what I'm going to base my decision on. I have nothing against Germany advancing too. Group C: 1) Spain 2) Italy 3) Croatia 4) Ireland I'm not a fan of Spain, but it's hard to beat them either. I don't think Ireland will be surprising this time and I don't think Italy will be defeated this time either. The Croatians are great, but this time they can't advance. Group D: 1) England 2) Sweden 3) France 4) Ukraine It's hard to predict, a strong group, the French are in the swing, but this time it could be Sweden's turn. I always keep my fingers crossed for England. Quarterfinals: Russia-Denmark: advance Russia Spain-Sweden: advance Sweden Netherlands-Poland: advance Netherlands The Poles are already good England-Italy: advance England Semifinals: Russia-Sweden: advance Sweden Netherlands-England: advance Netherlands The winner could be Sweden, who beats the Netherlands 2:1 in extra time in the final

I suggest this: Group A: 1) Poland 2) Czech Republic 3) Russia 4) Greece Group B: 1) Germany 2) Portugal 3) Netherlands 4) Denmark Group C: 1) Spain 2) Italy 3) Croatia 4) Ireland Group D: 1) England 2) Ukraine 3) France 4) Sweden Quarterfinals: Poland - Portugal Portugal Germany Czech Republic Germany Spain-Ukraine Spain England-Italy Italy Semifinals: Portugal - Germany Portugal Spain-Italy Spain Spain Spain wins in the final

Group A: 1) Russia 3) Greece 3) Czech Republic 4) Poland Group B: 1) Denmark 2) Germany 3) Netherlands 4) Portugal Group C: 1) Spain 2) Croatia 3) Italy 4) Ireland Group D: 1) England 2) France 3) Sweden 4) Ukraine Quarterfinals: Russia-Netherlands: advance Netherlands Germany-Greece: advance Germany Spain-England: advance Spain France-Croatia: advance France Semifinals: Netherlands-Spain: advance Spain Germany-France: advance France Spain will win the final So, a bet on a tournament with pretty few surprises.
