2 Croatia
3 France
4 Switzerland

Group C
1 Italy

Quarter finals

Portugal v Croatia, England v Spain, Italy v Holland, Denmark v Czech Rep

Semi-finals

Portugal v Italy, England v Czech Rep

Final

Portugal v England

European champion

England!

[GoldenPlums]

To be honest, it's more likely that England will get tired after two games and not make it out of the group. Or we'll be thrown out of the tournament for hooliganism. Chances of Beckham getting injured 100%. Chances of David James making a howling mistake 100%.

Portugal should do well though I reckon.

portugal, spain and france are fav. in my point of view.

italy will get far with their annoying 'play the most boring defensive game
ever and win with penalties' - tactic.

germany always do good on tournements, no mather how bad they play.

holland and england will choke, but ya have to predict holland as winner since.. hey, who doesn't support it's own country.

and dont forget Czech Republik..very good

i think this will be a nice euro2004

I've seen Bend it like Beckham twice.

There's no point predicting the final group standings as I've said what the results will be for each of the matches, here's what I've copied and pasted from my little sportsmans bet with my friends:

Group A
12-06 Portugal - Greece: 3-1
12-06 Spain - Russia: 4-0
16-06 Greece - Spain: 1-2
16-06 Russia - Portugal: 1-1
20-06 Spain - Portugal: 2-1
20-06 Russia - Greece: 0-2

Group B
13-06 Switzerland - Croatia: 0-0
13-06 France - England: 2-1
17-06 England - Switzerland: 3-0
17-06 Croatia - France: 0-2
21-06 Croatia - England: 1-1
21-06 Switzerland - France: 4-1

Group C
14-06 Denmark - Italy: 2-3
14-06 Sweden - Bulgaria: 2-2
18-06 Bulgaria - Denmark: 0-0
18-06 Italy - Sweden: 2-2
22-06 Italy - Bulgaria: 1-0
22-06 Denmark - Sweden: 2-1

Group D
15-06 Czech Republik - Latvia: Give a fuck? 0-0
15-06 Germany - Nederland: 3-1
19-06 Latvia - Germany: 0-1
19-06 Nederland - Czech Republik: 1-2
23-06 Nederland - Latvia: 3-1
23-06 Germany - Czech Republik: 2-0

Tie-breaker
Tournament winner: Spain (home support, on form, peak of careers, etc etc...)

[Underground]
