Olympian2004 Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 So tonight the final four EURO 2012 tickets will be handed out! Not to the supporters, of course, but to the national teams. Good luck, Bosnia and Herzegovina! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympian2004 Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 As expected, Croatia has qualified for EURO 2012, even if it achieved only a 0-0 at home against Turkey. But its 3-0 victory in Istanbul on Friday counted. Furthermore, the Czech Republic is also qualified, after its 1-0 victory in Montenegro. Estonia is tieing Ireland 1-1 right now (with only nine minutes of regular time to go), but Ireland would still be comfortably qualified, due to their 5-0 victory in Tallinn on Friday. Sadly, the beast (Cristiano Ronaldo) has scored the 1-0 for Portugal against Bosnia and Herzegovina in Lisbon. Come on, Bosnia! Still 65 minutes to go! Sh*t -- Nani has scored the 2-0 for Portugal. Come on, Bosnia!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympian2004 Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 And Ireland is qualified, despite its 1-1 draw at home against Estonia. Congratulations! Misimovic scores the 1-2 for Bosnia by penalty. The hope is still alive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympian2004 Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 F*ck, no! The beast strikes again. Cristiano Ronaldo just scored the 3-1. 37 minutes to go... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olympian2004 Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Oh well... It was somewhat inevitable, wasn't it? Yet another big tournament with douchebag Cristiano Ronaldo. But the only good thing about it is that he'll be overestimated yet another time and will fail to become the "star of the tournament". Anyway: And so these EURO qualifiers end. One should not forget that these were historic qualifiers, since they were the last ones with only 14 (or a maximum of 15) tickets to be played for. The next qualifiers for 2016 in France will be played for 23 tickets already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deawebo Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Ok!!! Kind of sad... Bosnia deserved to win that match against France, where thet were winning 1-0 and on 83 min a penaly made.... In the playoffs they didnt played the same. :S By the way... Amazing Germany's win over Netherlands 3-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faster Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 I just looked at the seeding. We could see Spain, Germany, Portugal and France play each other in the first round. I was bored and I like excel, so I did a random number sorting to produce: Group A Poland England Croatia Czech Republic Group B Netherlands Italy Greece Ireland Group C Ukraine Germany Sweden France Group D Spain Russia Portugal Denmark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympian2004 Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Interesting groups, Faster -- and no real "group of death" there. England and Croatia would be the favourites in group A, the Netherlands and Italy in group B, Germany and maybe (due to home advantage) Ukraine in group C and Spain and probably Russia in group D. You just did one small mistake: Ukraine is seeded in group D, not in group C -- since the matches of group C will be played in Poland. Poland is seeded in group A, so you've got that one correct.

Olympian2004 Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 I'm going to say Germany will win Euro 2012 Shhhh! Thanks for the prediction -- but I still can't really believe that our team plays that well currently. They showed amazing spirit already with a weaker squad against Ukraine on Friday (when they fought back after a 1-3 to a 3-3) and they showed even more amazing spirit yesterday against the Netherlands. The defence is still a certain weak spot, though. And we just don't know yet how this German team will perform against the still strong Spanish team. They are the opponents to beat right now in European football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympian2004 Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Furthermore, one has to add to all the euphoria that the Netherlands haven't played with their best squad yesterday. Robben, van der Vaart and van Persie were missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but you did the draw wrong. Poland, Ukraine, Spain and the Netherlands are seeded. That means that those four teams can't play in the same group, and so your group D with Ukraine and Spain and your group C with none of the four teams are impossible. You can find the pot allocation here, it has been announced today by UEFA: EURO finals draw seedings unveiled So, if one wanted to change the groups as little as possible, one would have to put Spain on top of your group C and one of the teams in your group C (for example, Germany) to group D.

Olympian2004 Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 This is the result of my draw (complete, also with the drawing of the positions within the respective groups): Group A Poland Portugal England Czech Republic Group B Spain Sweden Russia Ireland Group C Netherlands Germany Greece Denmark Group D Ukraine France Croatia Italy So Germany got a pretty tough group in my draw. I hope that the real draw will turn out luckier for them. But at least they avoided the Spanish team in my draw. Group D could be a "secret group of death", since the names on the paper are pretty big: Home team Ukraine against former World and European Champions France and Italy and against the strong Croatian team. Group B should be a fairly easy task for Spain. Group A is actually tough for all teams: Poland has the home advantage but opponents who are still stronger than them; Portugal and England will have a tough time playing against each other; and the Czechs are in a similar position as the Polish team, only that they don't have the home advantage but instead play on a slightly higher level than Poland. My prediction which teams would advance to the quarterfinals in such a group constellation: Group A: Portugal and England, narrowly ahead of the the Czech Republic with Poland a distant fourth Group B: Spain and Russia, with Ireland and Sweden both finishing with three points Group C: Germany and Netherlands, Denmark ranks third Group D: Croatia and Ukraine, France and Italy get too nervous again and eliminate each other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
