Di Grup G, bakal terjadi antara dua tim asal Britania Raya: Inggris dan Wales. Keduanya tergabung bersama Swiss, Bulgaria dan Montenegro.

Spanyol sendiri berada di grup terakhir alias Grup I, di mana mereka berada satu tempat dengan Republik Ceko, Skotlandia. Lithuania dan Liechtenstein. Rep. Ceko dan Skotlandia adalah dua tim yang berpotensi menjadi pengganjal, meski di atas kertas 'Tim Matador' masih lebih unggul.

Euro 2012 Memakai Lima Wasit

NYON, KOMPAS.com —Asosiasi Sepak Bola Eropa (UEFA) akan memasang lima wasit di setiap pertandingan kualifikasi Piala Eropa 2012. Hal sama juga diterapkan di Liga Champions musim depan.

Satu wasit akan memimpin pertandingan, sedangkan empat wasit lainnya menjadi hakim garis. Nantinya, dua hakim garis akan bertugas seperti biasanya. Sementara dua wasit lainnya akan mengawasi di belakang gawang.

Ide itu telah disetujui oleh UEFA, Kamis (27/5/2010). Selain Liga Champions dan Euro 2012, sistem seperti ini juga akan diterapkan di Liga Europa (dulu Piala UEFA).

Sistem baru ini untuk mengurangi kontroversi dalam sepak bola. Dua wasit tambahan itu akan mengamati apakah terjadi pelanggaran di kotak penalti atau tidak. Selain itu, dia juga bertugas mengamati dan menentukan apakah bola sudah melewati garis gawang atau tidak.

Dewan Asosiasi Sepak Bola Internasional (IFAB) yang merumuskan aturan tersebut menilai sistem itu lebih realistis. Sistem itu juga menggantikan usul penggunaan teknologi di garis gawang.

"Jika sistem ini tak disambut baik, IFAB tak akan mematenkan aturan itu. Kami sudah menerapkan sistem ini di Liga Europa dan berjalan dengan baik," kata Sekretaris Jenderal UEFA Gianni Infantino. (AP)

France Awarded Euro 2016 Ahead Of Italy & Turkey
L'Hexagone will play host to European football's international showpiece...

France will host Euro 2016, UEFA announced at a press conference in Geneva at Friday lunchtime, beating off competition from Italy and Turkey for the right to stage the event, which will be the first European Championships to see 24 teams compete in the final stages.

The indications were going into the final round of voting that Turkey and France held a lead over the Italian bid, but it came as half a shock that the western European nation was given the nod, despite having tabled what they felt was a fine bid. In the end the vote was tight, with seven of the final votes going to France, and the remaining six in favour of Turkey.

“It's a great day for us,” FFF (Federation Francaise de Football) president Jean-Pierre Escalettes exclaimed to the press in the moments following the announcement.

President of the Republic, Nicolas Sarkozy, appealed in the presentation process: “The French state is there. Everything we have said, we do. It's not the commitment of the Federation or the League, but the commitment of an entire people. All the French expect this event.

“If you give us the Euro 2016, you will enjoy it, and you will receive the best possible [competition].”

The French presentation began with a ten-year-old boy, Nathan, giving a speech regarding what his country hosting Euro 2016 would mean to him. Zinedine Zidane then followed with his recollections of Euro 1984, and how that competition inspired him.

There are already significant plans in place for l’Hexagone to upgrade several stadiums, and that work can now begin with the confidence that the tournament is coming to France.

Les Bleus have tended to be inspired when playing on home soil, winning both the European Championships of 1984 and the World Cup of 1998.

Harapan saya di Euro 2012, Inggris bisa juara DENGAN CATATAN dalam skuadnya tercantum nama David Beckham dan Michael Owen. Keduanya layak meraih gelar karena gagal tampil di Piala Dunia Afsel 2010 karena cidera. Siapa tahu Euro 2012 adalah kesempatan terakhir mereka membela timnas Inggris. Manusia boleh berharap tapi tentunya Tuhan yang menentukannya ...

Italy v Serbia clash abandoned after violence
Soccernet - October 12, 2010, 7:00 AM GMT


Italy's Euro 2012 Group C qualifier against Serbia was abandoned by UEFA after just six minutes had been played due to crowd disturbances.

The game at Genoa's Luigi Ferraris stadium was delayed for 35 minutes after a section of Serbian fans threw fire crackers and flares in the direction of the north stand where Italian supporters were seated, and onto the pitch.

Serbian players, led by Inter Milan midfielder Dejan Stankovic, urged their fans to calm down as families began to make their way towards the exit. Once order was restored, a minute's silence was observed in memory of four Italian soldier killed in Afghanistan on Saturday.

The game started but it was not long before Scottish referee Craig Thomson stopped play after a Serbian fan threw a flare onto the pitch, which narrowly missed Italy goalkeeper Emiliano Viviano.

After a delay, Italy coach Cesare Prandelli said: ''The game will not be played. I've never seen anything like it.''

Serbia went into the game on the back of a 3-1 home defeat to Estonia on Friday. Coach Vladimir Petrovic was taking charge of his first game ahving replaced Radomir Antic since that loss.

To some it was unclear if Stankovic and his teammates had done their best to calm down those that were causing trouble.

''We tried to calm our fans, we didn't applaud them,'' said captain Stankovic.

Viviano said it was not possible to resume playing.

''It was impossible to have played in that goal,'' he said. ''I would have had to constantly turn around to make sure that no flare hit me.''

The 1600 Serbian fans were kept in the stadium under police surveillance as the Italian supporters left the stands.

Italy security chief blames Serbian authorities
Soccernet - October 12, 2010


Italian security chief Roberto Massucci blamed Serbian authorities for allowing unruly fans to travel to the Euro 2012 qualifier in Genoa.

The match between Serbia and Italy was abandoned after just six minutes played due to crowd disturbances at the Luigi Ferraris stadium.

''Fans that are so dangerous should not have arrived in Genoa,'' said Massucci. ''They should have been stopped by the Serbian officials. We were aware that this game had a risk factor but a behaviour of such aggressiveness we had not experienced for some time.

''From the traditional channels of communication with the Serbian police, we had not been given any signs of the degree of danger of these fans. We, through experience, had arranged an adequate security, but we would have never imagined such a high level of aggressiveness. But there was no-one here from the Serbian police.''

Long before the game, Italian police clashed with Serbian fans near the hotel where their team was staying.

The game was then delayed by 35 minutes due to crowd disturbances after Serbian fans threw flares in the direction of the north stand where Italian supporters were seated, and onto the pitch. When the game finally started, more flares and fireworks were thrown onto the pitch forcing Scottish referee Craig Thomson to stop the match.

''It's a difficult time for everyone,'' said Italian Football Federation general director Antonello Valentini. ''We apologise to our fans. The police and us, as a federation, did what we could do in order for the game to be played.

''The referee took the decision to abandon the game after the second flare was thrown onto the pitch and told us he could not guarantee the safety of the players.''

Italy coach Cesare Prandelli could not hide his disappointment after the game.

''We are extremely sad and very bitter,'' he said. ''There were so many children that wanted to watch a show and were not able to do so. I've never experienced anything like this.

''The (Serbian) players have been assaulted by their own fans in their bus. Their goalkeeper (Vladimir Stojkovic) was in our changing room, he was trembling and had fear not only about tonight but also in view of returning home.

''The ultra fans seemed organised. It appeared as though they would have done everything possible to make sure the game was not played. According to the Serbian players, that was their aim.''

UEFA will now wait for report as they look to investigate the incidents in Genoa. A statement from UEFA read: ''UEFA now awaits the receipt of the official UEFA delegate's match report before deciding whether to open a disciplinary case.''

Serbian chief admits 'shame' as UEFA prepares to act
ESPNsoccernet - October 13, 2010
Serbian Football Association president Tomislav Karadzic says Tuesday night's violent scenes in Genoa have brought shame on the country, with UEFA expected to award a 3-0 win to Italy after the Euro 2012 qualifier was abandoned.

After Serbian fans attacked their own team bus prior to kick-off, resulting in goalkeeper Vladimir Stojkovic being taken to hospital for tests, kick-off was delayed by 35 minutes after Serbian supporters threw flares onto the pitch and in the direction of Italian fans.

When the game did start, another flare was thrown at Italian goalkeeper Emiliano Viviano forcing referee Craig Thomson to call a halt to proceedings after only six minutes. Serbian supporters also taunted police, cut protective nets and attempted to smash Perspex barriers.

UEFA is now awaiting official reports before taking any action but it is likely that Serbia will face heavy sanctions. Italy are expected to be awarded a 3-0 victory following the abandonment of the game.

Italian federation vice-president and former Italy midfielder Demetrio Albertini told Reuters: "We will not ask for anything. It's up to the UEFA delegate to talk with UEFA to decide what to do."

Serbia's football chief said events in Genoa were a shameful episode for the country's national side.

"We had indications that this would happen," Karadzic told Belgrade's B92 television. "These fans are just the executors, it was planned in Belgrade.

"This has brought embarrassment and shame on our country. We had problems during training, before the match, and now this... the state must react."

Gazzetta dello Sport reports on Wednesday morning that one of the alleged ringleaders of the trouble has been arrested by Italian police.

The Serbian fan, named as Ivan, was arrested on a bus at around 0200 BST after being identified by his distinctive tattoos.

Ketika Para Binatang Menyerbu Genoa
Andi Abdullah Sururi - detiksport


Genoa - Publik Italia sakit hati dengan kelakuan suporter Serbia yang merusuhkan Stadio Luigi Ferraris di kota Genoa, saat tim kedua negara bertanding di babak kualifikasi Piala Eropa 2012.

Harian olahraga terbesar di Italia, La Gazzetta dello Sport, dalam headline-nya memakai judul "The Beasts" (Para Binatang—Red) untuk melabeli kerusuhan pada Selasa (12/10/2010) malam waktu setempat itu.

Harian La Repubblica dalam editorialnya menyebut kerusuhan tersebut sebagai "pukulan ke jantung sepakbola yang sakit". Koran lainnya, Il Messaggero, menulis "Kita semua kalah".

Kickoff pertandingan Italia-Serbia molor lebih dari setengah jam gara-gara suporter tim tamu melakukan aksi kekerasan di dalam dan stadion, melawan fans tuan rumah dan polisi. Walaupun laga sempat dimainkan selama enam menit, wasit memutuskan menghentikannya karena situasi sudah demikian buruk.

Otoritas Italia menyebutkan, 16 orang termasuk dua polisi dilarikan ke rumah sakit dari insiden tersebut. Sebanyak 17 orang ditahan atas kekacauan tersebut, di mana fans Serbia tak cuma menyerang fans dan polisi Italia tapi juga kiper timnya sendiri.

Bus-bus yang membawa suporter Serbia dilaporkan telah digiring keluar kota oleh polisi untuk mencegah tawuran lebih buruk dengan tifosi tuan rumah. Demikian kantor berita Ansa melaporkan, yang dilansir Reuters, Rabu (13/10).

Diyakini kerusuhan ini memang sudah direncanakan. Situs Goal.com menganalisis tiga faktor. Pertama, fans Serbia tidak puas pada keputusan federasi sepakbola Serbia yang memecat pelatih Radomir Antic bulan lalu. Walaupun tidak pula berhasil di Piala Dunia, tapi Antic disukai suporter Serbia karena telah meloloskan negara mereka ke Afrika Selatan.

Celakanya, performa Dejan Stankovic dkk tidak lantas membaik setelah ditangani Vladimir Petrovic. Maka ketika Serbia kalah 1-3 di kandang sendiri dari Estonia hari Jumat lalu, kemarahan itu diyakini bertambah.

Faktor kedua dari ranah politik, sehubungan dengan wacana menjadikan Kosovo negara yang merdeka. Baru-baru ini Menteri Luar Negeri AS Hillary Clinton berkunjung ke Serbia dalam rangka menekan Serbia untuk membebaskan Kosovo. Ini memicu kemarahan orang-orang Serbia. Faktor ini paling tidak dapat dilihat ketika terjadi pembakaran bendera Albania di Luigi Ferraris. Di Kosovo, warga keturunan Albania adalah populasi terbanyak.

Faktor ketiga menyangkut rivalitas dua klub besar di Beograd dan kiper Vladimir Stojkovic. Kiper yang menggagalkan tendangan penalti pemain Jerman Lukas Podolski di Piala Dunia 2010 itu dianggap mengkhianati Red Star Beograd, karena sejak remaja ia digembleng klub tersebut, tapi memutuskan bergabung ke Partizan Beograd.

Stojkovic, yang sejak 2007 dimiliki klub Portugal Sporting Lisbon, pada Juni lalu bahkan diberi sebuah seremoni khusus dengan diangkat sebagai anggota kehormatan Red Star. Tapi dua bulan kemudian ia menerima pinangan Partizan yang meminjamnya dari Sporting.

Suporter garis keras Red Star marah besar dan memberi dia ancaman mati. Beberapa Ultras konon berjanji akan "mengeluarkan" Stojkovic sebelum, selama, dan setelah pertandingan Italia-Serbia di Genoa tersebut.

Kemarahan itu sepertinya benar, karena beberapa jam sebelum pertandingan, kiper berusia 27 tahun itu diserang di dalam bus timnya dengan berbagai benda. Ia terluka dan dibawa ke rumah sakit. Stojkovic sebenarnya tidak ada di starting line up bahkan cadangan tim Serbia untuk meladeni Italia

UEFA launches investigation into Genoa violence
ESPNsoccernet - October 13, 2010



UEFA has opened a "full and thorough" investigation into the violent scenes that forced Tuesday night's Euro 2012 qualifier between Italy and Serbia to be abandoned.

Kick-off in Genoa was delayed by 35 minutes when travelling Serbian fans threw fireworks at the home support. When the match did get underway, it lasted only six minutes as flares were thrown at Italy goalkeeper Emiliano Viviano.

Serbian fans were also caught up in clashes prior to the game - with the country's team coach also attacked - while supporters taunted police, cut protective nets and smashed Perspex barriers at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris.

"Following the abandonment of yesterday's UEFA Euro 2012 qualifying match between Italy and Serbia at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris in Genoa after only six minutes of play, UEFA has confirmed today that it has immediately opened a full and thorough disciplinary investigation into the incidents of serious disorder witnessed at the match and the circumstances surrounding it," a UEFA statement read.

"Once the full dossier is completed, with the assistance of both the referee and delegate reports, the matter will be put before the independent UEFA control and disciplinary body for further review and possible sanctions.

"The sanctions that are available to the control and disciplinary body can be found in the UEFA disciplinary regulations, edition 2008, article 14, and range from a reprimand or fine, up to a stadium closure or 'disqualification from competitions in progress and/or exclusion from future competitions'.

"The proposed date for the meeting of the control and disciplinary body to hear this case is Thursday 28 October."

Serbia's government has also apologised to Italy for the behaviour of their travelling support.

"What happened in Genoa was a disgrace, a nightmare,'' said Sanda Raskovic-Ivic, Serbia's ambassador in Rome. "I and all of Serbians are ashamed. I take this opportunity to send the apologies from the embassy, our government and our population to the Italian people for what has happened."

Northern Ireland will wait to hear UEFA's verdict ahead of their trip to Belgrade next year. Patrick Nelson, chief executive of the Irish Football Association, said the body would wait to hear from UEFA before making any judgments on safety.

He said: "It's a matter for UEFA and we will look out and see what they say about it as our next away game is away in Serbia. We'll need to plan for that game in the near future. We plan all our trips carefully as all trips are different.

"We have a security officer as part of the team. We will work with him, UEFA and the other country, whichever country that may be. We also work quite closely with the Amalgamation (of Northern Ireland Supporters Clubs), not just for this trip to Serbia but every trip."

It has also emerged the the Italian federation, the FIGC, could also face punishment.

UEFA spokesman Rob Faulkner told Gazzetta dello Sport: "Aside from the responsibility of those that provoked the incidents, UEFA rules also consider the responsibility of the federation that organises the game.

"They have the duty to guarantee safety in the stadium as well as making sure the game goes ahead."

Masalah Holigan Hantui Euro 2012

Bola.net - Tuan rumah bersama Euro 2012 Poland menghadapi "masalah besar" tentang holigan namun berusaha keras untuk mengatasinya, kata pejabat senior UEFA, Rabu.

Martin Kallen, direktur UEFA untuk Euro 2012, mengatakan dalam konferensi Soccerex di Manchester, pemerintah Polandia berusaha keras untuk mengatasi masalah holigan pada putaran final Euro tahun depan saat mereka bertindak sebagai tuan rumah bersama Ukraina.

Kallen berbicara hanya beberapa hari setelah pendukung Polandia berkelahi dengan petugas keamanan pada pertandingan tandang Lithuania di Kaunas, Jumat.

"Kami amat prihatin dengan masalah holigan tapi kami tahu Pemerintah Polandia juga prihatin dengan masalah itu," kata Kallen.

"Mereka tahu bahwa mereka punya masalah, mereka bahkan memiliki masalah besar. Ada holigan di hampir semua pertandingan liga tapi pemerintah melakukan langkah benar untuk mengatasinya di masa mendatang," katanya.

"Kita saksikan Jumat kemarin, gambaran yang tidak bagus yang terjadi di lapangan. Kami dan pemerintah Polandia memperhatikan hal itu. Mereka mengatasi masalah ini dengan serius dan akan ada perubahan bulan depan," katanya.

Kallen mengatakan, ia yakin masalah yang terjadi di stadion di Polandia hanya karena itu adalah pertandingan klub. Dan pada kompetisi Euro 2012 situasinya akan berbeda karena kompetisi itu akan menyedot pendukung yang berbeda.

"Pada Euro akan datang penonton berbeda, rasanya akan lebih aman," katanya. "Euro seperti pesta sepak bola dan masalah biasanya terjadi dalam pertandingan antar klub."

Marcin Herra, ketua Panpel Polandia 2012, menyatakan, parlemen baru pemerintah akan menerapkan "nol toleransi" dalam menerapkan kebijakan tentang holigan.

"Kalangan minoritas tidak dapat merusak even kalangan mayoritas," katanya, "Di Polandia parlemen baru juga mengizinkan kami untuk bertindak lebih tepat kepada para holigan."

"Akan ada kebijakan nol toleransi artinya 500 orang tidak akan dapat merusak acara satu juta orang," katanya. (ant/cax)

Tuan Rumah Euro 2012 Polandia Bakal Jajal Belarus

Tuan rumah bersama kompetisi Euro 2012 Polandia akan melakukan laga persahabatan lawan Belarus di Jerman bulan depan, merupakan uji coba terakhir dalam laga persahabatan, kata juru bicara asosiasi sepak bola Polandia, PZPN, Kamis (22/09).

Pertandingan 11 Oktober itu, kata juru bicara wanita PZPN Aznieszka Olejkoska, diadakan di kota Wiesbaden di bagian barat Jerman.

Belarus gagal maju ke putaran final Euro 1012, setelah berada di urutan keempat dalam penyisihan Grup D, berada di bawah Romania, Bosnia dan pemuncak klasemen, Prancis.

Mereka akan bertemu dengan Polandia setelah melawan Romania pada 7 Oktober di putaran perempat final.

Sedangkan tim Polandia, sedang melakukan perjalanan pulang setelah melakukan laga persahabatan di Seoul, Korea Selatan.

Seperti halnya tuan rumah lainnya, Ukraina, Polandia maju otomatis ke putaran final kejuaraan Eropa yang diikuti 16 negara, sehingga mereka harus mengasah ketajaman permainan mereka melalui pertandingan persahabatan.

Pada 6 September, Polandia nyaris membukukan kejutan ketika berhadapan dengan Jerman yang belum pernah mereka kalahkan, sebelum tim tamu itu mencetak gol pada tambahan waktu sehingga permainan berakhir 2-2.

Pada pertandingan sebelumnya di kandang sendiri melawan Meksiko, Polandia main imbang 1-1 sehingga menimbulkan tekanan pada pelatih Polandia, Franciszek Smuda, baik kritikan dari pendukung mau pun dari pemain yang kurang menyukai taktiknya.

Setelah Belarus, lawan Polandia berikutnya adalah Italia, yang sudah lolos ke putaran final euro 2012 setelah berada di puncak penyisihan Grup C.

Mereka dijadwalkan bertanding di kawasan barat daya Polandia di kota Wroclawn pada 11 November, bertepatan dengan hari nasional Polandia.

Spain, Netherlands face tough draw

Spain and Netherlands face the prospect of a tougher draw at Euro 2012 due to the top seeding of hosts Poland and Ukraine - while France could find themselves in the bottom pot of seeds.

The draw for the finals, which takes place on Friday, December 2, will seed teams based on the coefficient of performance in qualifying and final tournaments of Euro 2008 and the 2010 World Cup, as well as qualifying for Euro 2012. There will be weighting of 40% each on Euro 2012 qualifying and World Cup results, and 20% for Euro 2008.

Poland and Ukraine are among the top seeds, as happens with the hosts of every international tournament to ensure their games take place in their own country and at a major stadium. Spain are automatically seeded as holders, while Netherlands are currently the top-ranked nation in the coefficient (though below Spain).

It means that being in the second pot is more favourable than being a top seed, as those countries have a greater chance of being drawn against the hosts who, on ranking, are weaker opponents. However, there is also the prospect of being drawn against the reigning champions or the Dutch, who have won every game in qualifying.

The coefficent table would rank Ukraine as the 13th best team in Europe and Poland as 27th.

The play-off draw will again be seeded, a method that courted plenty of controversy when Ireland were drawn against France in World Cup qualifying, and is to be based on the coefficients after this month's qualifiers, with the draw for November's two-legged ties taking place on Thursday, October 13.

There has been little movement in the rankings among the top sides recently. After September's qualifying fixtures the top 12 was almost entirely unchanged, apart from England moving above Italy into fourth and Croatia leapfrogging Russia into sixth. Every other nation was unchanged.

There is far more scope for movement for the lower ranked nations, who are unlikely to be involved in the finals.

With Spain and Netherlands as top seeds, they would be drawn against, assuming they qualify, one of Germany, England, Italy or Croatia. Portugal would be in pot three and France in pot four.

That could create a potential group of death involving Spain, Germany, Portugal and France.

Based on the current coefficients and tables - which of course will change by next week - the draw pots would be as follows. This also assumes the seeded nations win the qualifying play-offs.

Pot One: Poland, Ukraine, Spain, Netherlands
Pot Two: Germany, England, Italy, Croatia
Pot Three: Russia, Greece, Portugal, Sweden
Pot Four: France, Denmark, Serbia, Czech Republic

Sweden/Netherlands or Greece/Croatia are most likely to qualify automatically as the best runner-up. This would make the pots for the play-off draw as follows:

Seeds: Sweden/Netherlands or Greece/Croatia, Denmark, Serbia, Czech Republic
Unseeded: Turkey, Ireland, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Montenegro

Hosts Poland and Ukraine qualify automatically. All nine group winners qualify. The second-placed team with the highest number of points from matches against the first, third, fourth and fifth placed teams also qualifies. The eight remaining second-placed teams will take part in two-legged play-offs to decide the four remaining qualifiers.

Teams level on points are ordered by head-to-head record before overall group performance is taken into account.

European Championship Qualifying : Group A Table

5 Azerbaijan 9 2 1 6 10 25 -15 7
6 Kazakhstan 9 1 0 8 6 24 -18 3

The 1996 champions Germany have already secured their place in the 2012 finals as guaranteed winners of Group A. Belgium have a one point advantage over Turkey but have to go to Germany for their final game on Tuesday, while the Turks host Azerbaijan.

5 Macedonia 9 2 1 6 7 13 -6 7
6 Andorra 9 0 0 9 1 19 -18 0

Russia look favourites to win Group B and need a point against Andorra to ensure a play-off place. Republic of Ireland meet Armenia in what looks like a play-off place decider.

European Championship Qualifying : Group C Table

6 Faroe Islands 10 1 1 8 6 26 -20 4

Group C has already been won by Italy, but second place is still to be decided. Serbia need a win over Slovenia to guarantee a play-off place because Estonia hold the head-to-head against the Serbs.

European Championship Qualifying : Group D Table

France hold a slender one-point advantage in Group D over Bosnia-Hercegovina, and the two teams meet on Tuesday. One will win the group, the other is most likely heading for the play-offs, although either has a chance of the one additional spot.

European Championship Qualifying : Group E Table

The Netherlands have won the group and Sweden are guaranteed at least second and a play-off spot because of their head-to-head record against Hungary. The Swedes are by no means out of the running for a guaranteed spot as the best second-placed team.

European Championship Qualifying : Group F Table

6 Malta 9 0 1 8 4 19 -15 1

Greece only need a point from their final game in Georgia to win the group. Croatia have to win their final game at home to Latvia and hope the Greeks slip up or they are in the play-offs.

Portugal and Denmark will fight it out to see who win the group and they play each other on Tuesday. The consolation for the loser is that this group is currently looking most likely to provide the additional guaranteed qualifier.

Robbie Keane ruled out of Republic of Ireland qualifier with Armenia

• Record scorer strains adductor muscle against Andorra
• Irish need a win or draw to guarantee play-off spot

The Republic of Ireland captain, Robbie Keane, has been ruled out of the team's crucial 2012 European Championship qualifier against Armenia on Tuesday because of an injury to his adductor muscle.

The injury deprives the Irish of their all-time leading scorer – with 51 goals – for a match they need to win to stand a chance of leapfrogging Russia to finish top of Group B, which would secure automatic qualification for next year's finals in Poland and Ukraine. A win or a draw would guarantee a Euro 2012 play-off spot at the least.

The Los Angeles Galaxy forward complained of soreness in his groin after playing the full 90 minutes of Friday's 2-0 win in Andorra.

Keane's place will be taken by the West Bromwich forward Simon Cox, who has been preferred to his club-mate Shane Long and Stoke's Jonathan Walters, while the goalkeeper Shay Given will wear the captain's armband.

Stephen Kelly will replace the suspended Stephen Ward at left-back, while Richard Dunne returns from his ban as Darren O'Dea makes way. Republic of Ireland are two points behind Russia, who play Andorra, and a point clear of Armenia going into the final qualifying match.

Team to face Armenia at Aviva Stadium, Tuesday, 6.45pm kick-off
Shay Given (capt); John O'Shea, Richard Dunne, Sean St Ledger, Stephen Kelly; Damien Duff, Glenn Whelan, Keith Andrews, Aiden McGeady; Kevin Doyle, Simon Cox.

Hypocrisy not at hand despite Republic of Ireland's slice of luck

The sending-off of Armenia's goalkeeper after the ball struck Simon Cox's arm has brought unfair comparisons with Thierry Henry's infamous double handball two years ago

http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/Irelands-Simon-Cox-shoots-006.jpg

When Thierry Henry's double handball deprived Irish football officials of a jaunt to sunny South Africa last year, those mandarins whined and wheezed so hard that even folks who initially had a smidgin of sympathy for them wound up wanting to beat them to a mangled mess and dance on their gory carcasses while cackling like Halloween witches high on poitín and toffee apples. Having been left, by their decision to refrain from doing so, with the slight feeling of inadequacy that permanently stalks the domesticated, those folks weren't about to miss an opportunity to vent anew if the Irish were ever seen to profit from a miscarriage of justice.

And lo, vociferous and vengeful have been the accusations of Irish hypocrisy after Giovanni Trapattoni's chain gang were on Tuesday night allowed to totter through to a Euro 2012 play-off thanks in part to a questionable red card for Armenia's goalkeeper Roman Berezovsky, that, to boot, was preceded by an instance of brachial control by Simon Cox that elicited precisely no condemnation from the Irish players who – rather than stop play and give the ball to the nearest Armenian along with a penitential donation to Yerevan's second-largest hospital – indignantly lobbied the referee to dismiss poor old Berezovsky.

So far there has been little grousing from Armenia. Perhaps they will not make a complaint nor demand a replay or a free place in the finals until they have compiled a complete dossier or have managed to summon up Football Association of Ireland levels of convenient moral outrage. Perhaps, as we speak, janitors in state buildings all across Armenia are emulating their Irish counterparts who two years ago either vandalised, or refused to work with, vacuum cleaners called Henry. "Some have painted over the name on the cleaner and wiped the smile off its little red face," mourned an Irish official to the Sun back then, stoically repressing tears.

"It just shows how the frustration caused by that goal has got to everyone in Ireland." Now we can only wonder whether Armenians are engaged in a similar campaign of destruction, and what sort of domestic appliance might be called Cox.

It could be, of course, that the reason that moaning measuring 9.6 on the FAI Scale has not been heard, and that Armenians are not trying to figure out ways to burn pints of Guinness in the street or blast the planet's shamrock reserves with Agent Orange, is that they know there is not, in fact, that much to complain about.

Berezovsky deserved to be sent off, for being a sinister bungler if nothing else. If Cox's shot did not, in fact, strike his arms after he streaked absurdly out of his box, it was only because of the goalkeeper's incompetence: he certainly meant to handle it and that crazed and pernicious intent may well have appalled Cox so much that he was prevented from bettering the finest lob of his career so far. That, indeed, could be construed as the real pity of that play.

Intent matters. If you make to shoot someone, your panicked would-be victim is fully entitled to punch you in the face even if your trigger jams. Berezovsky had to go.

By contrast, it is the absence of intent that means Cox's alleged handball was incomparable to both, or at least the second, of Henry's.

Cox's heart and mind were in the right place. It was just his arm that may have been fractionally astray. In the maelstrom of action it is entirely plausible that Cox, like Rafael van der Vaart at White Hart Lane against Arsenal two weeks ago, was unaware that the ball may have grazed his upper arm as well as his chest. For that same reason none of the Armenians appealed, even the fiendish goalkeeper. Unless, come to think of it, that's why he was waving his hands above his head outside the box as Cox made to shoot?

Euro 2012 play-off draw

Republic of Ireland have landed the ideal Euro 2012 play-off draw as they take on Estonia, while Portugal face Bosnia, Czech Republic play Montenegro and Turkey take on Croatia in a rerun of the Euro 2008 quarter-final.

Having lost four of their last five play-offs for a major tournament, the Irish cannot take the Estonians, who edged out Serbia in Group C to second place, at all lightly.

Their last appearance ended in acrimony when they were knocked out by France following a controversial handball by Thierry Henry ahead of the 2010 World Cup.

Former Republic of Ireland striker John Aldridge, though, believes Giovanni Trapattoni's men are well placed to progress.

Asked if he thought Ireland would go through, he told Sky Sports News: "Yes. We've got the greatest travelling fans and it would be great to see them on the road again. It was probably the easiest of the four (seeded teams to draw). We travel better than we play at home - we've had better results away than we have had at home."

On his hopes for the first leg in Estonia, he added: "They will try to get a clean sheet, try to get a win which would set us up nicely."

Ireland beat the Estonians home and away during the qualifying campaign for the 2002 World Cup finals, but Trapattoni admitted he is not underestimating the threat they pose to his side's hopes of reaching the finals.

He said: ''It is extremely positive for Ireland that we will play the first leg away. We should not underestimate our opposition, or any team, including Estonia. To have made it through to the play-off, they must have quality and mental fortitude.

''Our build-up to this stage of the competition has shown us the importance of organisation, attention to detail and self-belief. That will be vitally important to us as we prepare for these games in November.''

The Portuguese face the same opponents they defeated in play-off qualification for the 2010 World Cup but Bosnia goalkeeper Asmir Begovic is hopeful it will be a different story this time around.

"It will be hard - that's probably clear to everyone," he told SuperSport. "However, I saw Denmark get the better of Portugal and, if they can do it, why can't we? We certainly can qualify.

"It is definitely a different situation [to the 2010 World Cup play-off]. I think we're now a much better team and we should remember the first leg in Portugal, where it was a simple case of bad luck."

Montenegro's delight at making this stage may be further lifted by taking on a Czech team who made heavy weather in finishing ahead of Scotland.

Croatia, meanwhile, have unfinished business after they were denied at the last Euro finals by a last-minute Turkish extra-time goal and in a shoot-out.

Ireland 2-1 Armenia: Presumably FAI Will Ask UEFA For Replay After Dreadful Refereeing Decision?

http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/Roman-Berezovsky-sent-off.jpg

Two years after Thierry Henry’s infamous handball in France’s World Cup play-off with the Republic of Ireland, the Irish finally received some kind of footballing karma at the Aviva Stadium, courtesy of another appalling refereeing decision, this time by Spanish official Eduardo Ganzalez.

The referee sent off Armenian ‘keeper Roman Berezovsky on 26 minutes after he blocked an attempted lob by Simon Cox outside the box with his arm. However, Gonzalez and his assistants failed to spot Cox himself controlling the ball with his own arm before he tried his lob.

“It just came over my shoulder and I tried to control it,” Cox explained. “Some you get, some you don’t, but I don’t think it was a handball by the keeper.”

The Irish then profited from a dreadful own-goal, knocked in to his own net by a hapless Valeri Aleksanyan just before the break. Richard Dunne added a second on the hour and despite Henrikh Mkhitaryan getting one back for the visitors and Kevin Doyle seeing red late on, Ireland stumbled over the finishing line, making it through to the play-offs.

The FAI Chief Executive John Delaney did not release the following statement: ”Conclusive video evidence of a clear handball……. has been seen by millions of football fans worldwide. The blatantly incorrect decision by the referee to award a goal has damaged the integrity of the sport. We now call on FIFA as the world governing body for our sport to organize for this match to be replayed.”

Euro 2012 Playoffs: Bold Predictions for the 4 Showdowns

The draw is set. The teams are ready.

Now it's time to wait—and predict.

The eight teams in the Euro 2012 playoffs learned their assignments today at a draw in Krakow, Poland. The four playoff pairings will be decided by aggregate goals over two legs.

The first legs will be held November 11-12, with the return legs November 15.

Winners qualify for next summer's final 16-team tournament, which will be held in Poland and then Ukraine from June 8 to July 1, 2012.

Here is the full draw with seeded teams on the right. Seeded teams play the second leg at home, which is considered an advantage.

Turkey vs. Croatia

Estonia vs. Republic of Ireland

Bosnia and Herzegovina vs. Portugal

Czech Republic vs. Montenegro

Follow me into the slideshow to get my bold predictions for each tie.

Turkey over Croatia
Pairing: Turkey vs. Croatia

Who wins: Turkey

Why: Turkey was a semifinalist in Euro 2008, as well as World Cup 2002. It beat Croatia in the Euro 2008 quarterfinals.

Turkey has experience in the playoffs. It beat Ireland in the playoffs for Euro 2000, and Austria in World Cup 2002 qualifiers. It lost to Latvia in the 2004 playoffs and Switzerland in the 2006 playoffs.

But most importantly, Guus Hiddink is Turkey's manager. The Dutch genius does everything right in World Football. In 2008, he led Russia to the European semifinals. In 2002, he led South Korea to the World Cup semis.

Now it's Turkey's turn.

Hiddink is a master tactician and motivator. He will get the most out of Turkey's squad.

Ireland over Estonia
Pairing: Estonia vs. Republic of Ireland

Who wins: Ireland

Why: Ireland won't win because it's easy. This is going to be a struggle.

Estonia has never qualified for a major tournament—Euros or World Cup—but played well to beat out World Cup qualifiers Serbia and Slovenia in Group C play. This is not a team to be taken lightly, even if it did lose to Faroe Islands in June.

Ireland, meanwhile, could be without Robbie Keane after the 31-year-old aggravated a muscular tear by playing the full 90 minutes last week against tiny Andorra.

Kevin Doyle will miss the first leg through suspension.

Still, Ireland should have enough quality to go through.

Montenegro over Czech Republic
Pairing: Czech Republic vs. Montenegro

Who wins: Montenegro

Why: Montenegro is the seeded team, but Czech Republic will be the favorite. Every playoff needs an upset, and this will be it.

The Czech's generally played below standard in qualifying, and sneaked in on the last day thanks to a big win over Lithuania and a Scotland loss to Spain. The squad is aging, and is in need of an overhaul.

Montenegro gave England trouble both times they played, earning a pair of draws. Led by Stevan Jovetic, this is an up-and-coming team.

Portugal over Bosnia and Herzegovina
Pairing: Bosnia and Herzegovina vs. Portugal

Who wins: Portugal

Why: I would have liked Bosnia against just about anyone else in the draw, but Portugal will prove too tough an assignment.

Bosnia finished second in Group D qualifying just behind France. It came within about 12 minutes of qualifying automatically until France scored a late equalizer.

Still, Portugal has too much quality despite underachieving in qualifying. Cristiano Ronaldo is always a threat, while the squad has other dangerous options in guys like Helder Postiga and Hugo Almeida.

This could be a very close pairing, though.

Euro 2012: 10 Reasons We Can't Wait for It

The last time a UEFA Euro competition came to a close, an explosive Spanish side emerged as the victors, and the Furia Roja went on to take the 2010 World Cup as a follow-up.

Now, with a host of new talent, new management and some resurgent sides, the 2012 tournament in Poland and Ukraine looks like it could well be anybody's game to win. As some of the best national teams in the world prepare to face off, you can bet we're in for one exciting tournament.

Here are 10 reasons we can't wait for Euro 2012 to start. If you have your own to add, by all means, have at it in the comments.

The Best Young Talent Europe Has to Offer on Display
As January approaches, all eyes are on Europe's young talents as potential transfer prospects, but in the Euro tournament, they have a chance to work their magic for their respective countries.

Denmark's Christian Eriksen, Germany's Mario Götze, Switzerland's Xherdan Shaqiri and Russia's Alan Dzagoev are just a few of the names who have shone in this tournament so far.

Shaqiri scored a hat trick for Switzerland in a 3-1 win over Bulgaria, and Eriksen became the youngest Danish goal-scorer ever in a qualifier win over Iceland.

Hopefully, there will be plenty more exciting moments for these wunderkinds in the tournament.

Opportunity to Settle Old Scores
A formidable Netherlands side lost to Spain in the 2010 World Cup final on a late scorcher of a goal from Andrés Iniesta, and the Oranje's fantastic tournament run was marred in part by their conduct in the final, most notably Nigel de Jong's kung-fu kick to the chest on Xabi Alonso, which somehow didn't see him get sent off.

Now, as Spain and the Netherlands sit comfortably at the top of their respective groups and will easily qualify for the tournament, there is always the possibility, scheduling pending, of one heck of a rematch, with both sides stocked with new faces and a hunger for glory.

Old Euro tournament rivalries may see resurgences as well—Russia, a Cinderella team in the 2008 Euro tournament under Guus Hiddink, lost in the semifinals to Spain. Now, at the top of their group and with a host of new talents like 21-year-old CSKA Moscow striker Alan Dzagoev, they'll be ready to greet their old adversaries.

Chances for Redemption
With the dawn of another Euro competition comes more opportunities for some strong but never-can-quite-get-there national teams to redeem themselves after underwhelming performances in the previous tournament.

France, marred by Raymond Domenech's lack of leadership and failure to advance in the 2010 World Cup, is now under new management and leads its group in the qualifiers, and with the likes of Samir Nasri and Yann M'Vila showing great promise, could really be a force in this tournament.

England, which had an underwhelming run in the 2010 World Cup and didn't even qualify for Euro 2008, are back with a host of talented newcomers—Kyle Walker, Phil Jones and Jack Wilshere, if and when he's fit—and have the perfect opportunity now to show they are contenders on the international stage.

The Return of the Azzurri
The 2006 World Cup-winning Italian national team had disappointing runs in Euro 2008 and the 2010 World Cup, losing a heartbreaker in penalties in the former and, courtesy of some lackluster lineup decisions on the part of Marcello Lippi, finishing last in the group stage in the latter, something of an embarrassment for a side that had won the tournament in 2006.

So far, this Euro tournament has seen a very different Azzurri from the one that went down so easily in South Africa. Cesare Prandelli has restored them to a winning record, and they even beat a world-championship-winning Spain side in a friendly back in August.

They're still one of the oldest teams in the tournament, but as recent performances from the likes of Antonio Cassano and Juventus' Giorgio Chiellini have indicated, the Italians still have plenty of fight left. With newcomers like Sebastian Giovinco and Mario Balotelli finding top form in league play, the team looks more balanced.

Also, they still have one of the best keepers in the world in captain Gigi Buffon.

The Jaw-Dropping Germans
There are plenty of formidable teams in this tournament so far, but if there's one that stands out without question, it's the Germans. Germany has gone 10 for 10 in qualifying wins, one of only two teams in the tournament with a perfect record and the side with the most wins. Going into the next stage, they have asserted themselves as the team to beat.

Backed by impenetrable keeper Manuel Neuer, Die Mannschaft, hungry for glory after a third-place finish in the 2010 World Cup, have quite the formidable squad, from established regulars like Philipp Lahm and Mario Gomez to explosive newcomers like Mario Götze and Borussia Dortmund centre-back Mats Hummels.

They haven't won a major tournament since Euro 1996, but from the looks of things, this could very well be the year.

A Top-Klaas Goal Hunter
After helping Schalke 04 win their first major trophy in nearly a decade with the goal that won them the 2011 DFB-Pokal, Dutch striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar has found his stride in a big way in this tournament. Huntelaar leads the Oranje and the entire tournament in goal scoring, racking up an astonishing 12 in the qualifying rounds.

He's inching ever closer to the Dutch record for goals scored in a European tournament, in this case the 40 goals from Patrick Kluivert. And if he keeps up this rate in the tournament, Huntelaar could very well reach that milestone.

Montenegro and the Sleeper-Hit Shockers
The UEFA Euro tournament is a lot like the Eurovision song contest: It brings out the competitive spirit across the continent, and a clutch of very small countries always end up surprising everyone in the best possible ways.

Estonia and Montenegro have been those countries so far in the Euro qualifiers, with Estonia in second in their group behind Italy and Montenegro wreaking all kinds of havoc on theirs.

Montenegro especially shows promise, with two of the most explosive talents in Europe—Mirko Vucinic, who is shining at Juventus right now, and Fiorentina's young wonder Stevan Jovetic—serving as their primary strikers.

The road could end for either team in the upcoming playoffs, but hopefully, we'll get to see a lot more from them.

The Future of the Football Ground in Action
This is the Donbas Arena, home of Ukrainian contenders Shakhtar Donetsk and one of the venues for the Euro 2012 competition. Shiny, isn't it?

Love it or hate it, Donbas is a perfect example of where the design and construction of the football ground is headed: it cost £262 million to build, seats 51,000 and includes—get this—a thoroughly modern fitness centre, a fan café and sports bar, a retail area, white-tablecloth restaurants and a conference centre. And with Euro looming, it can only get bigger.

ArupSport, who designed the Donbas Arena, designed the Allianz Arena in Munich, Manchester City's new ground at Eastlands and the grounds for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. The future of sports architecture, here at Euro 2012.

Hamit Altintop and More Golazos
One of the most surprising stars of this tournament so far has been a 28-year-old, German-born Turkish midfielder whose best years are probably behind him and who has only gotten into one league match since signing with Real Madrid. Versatile midfielder Hamit Altintop has scored what is easily the tournament's best goal so far, a thunderous golazo which helped his side defeat Kazakhstan in a qualifying match.

Although Turkey's tournament future rests in the playoffs next week, meaning this could be the end of the line for Altintop, there will certainly be a host of other fantastic goals to come.

Good News for Greece
With the cradle of democracy often in the headlines for far more newsworthy and ultimately kind-of-terrifying reasons, it's nice to see Greece get some good news, even if it's just in a football tournament. They are the only team in Group F to go unbeaten in the qualifiers, and one of only five teams in the tournament to have not lost a match yet (seven wins, three draws).

Further bolstering Greece's tournament hopes are a pair of promising newcomers: veteran Olympiacos full-back José Holebas and 17-year-old Panathinaikos goalkeeper Stefanos Kapino, who may become the national team's youngest-ever debutant if Fernando Santos chooses him to face Russia and Romania in the upcoming pre-tournament friendlies.

Euro 2012 in race to get travel infrastructure ready for June kick-off

• Gdansk's delayed air terminal is giving Uefa 'sleepless nights'
• Work still under way on all four of Ukraine's host-city airports

Fans travelling to Poland and Ukraine for next summer's European Championship could face travel chaos with major roadworks, train links and airport terminals months behind schedule and workers racing to get them completed in time for the tournament, which starts in Warsaw on 8 June.

Martin Kallen, the Uefa operations director for Euro 2012, giving a progress report on the preparations at the International Football Arena conference in Zurich, said both countries' stadiums will be ready and of good quality but across vast areas, particularly in Ukraine, transport is the biggest headache.

"There is still major work to be done in the next three to four months, especially in transport, from the airports to the stadiums and to the city centres," Kallen said. "It will be a different Euro. On the football side, we want it to be on the same level or a little better than Austria-Switzerland in 2008. But it will never be on the same level in terms of transport."

Kallen listed the air and ground transport projects which are due to be finished as late as April, saying he has had "sleepless nights" about the delayed new air terminal in Gdansk, a key centre for the championship. Following delays, the completion date now is 2 April. Elsewhere in Poland, airport terminals due to be built in Poznan and Wroclaw have also been delayed, with Poznan due to open in the new year.

In Warsaw, which is well provided for with its stadium and hotels, Kallen's key worry is the rail link from the airport, which has been held up by delays on a crucial stretch of track only about 500 metres long. It was due to open at the beginning of next month, he said, but has also had to be rescheduled for March or April.

In Ukraine, Europe's second biggest country after Russia, work is still under way at the airports of all four host cities, Donetsk, Kiev, Lviv and Kharkiv, where a new terminal is scheduled for completion in March. Road and rail transport links are also patchy.

Fans will not know where their countries are playing until after the draw, which takes place in Kiev on 2 December. The England squad will be based in Krakow, Poland, wherever they are drawn to play their group matches.

Of the roads in Poland, Kallen said: "They are still building north-south and west-east motorways, and some projects will not be finished. You will have to go off the motorway and have to go back on again 10-15km later."

In Ukraine, where the distances are so great, the roads suffer great damage during the harsh winters, and Kallen said the authorities preparing for Euro 2012 have decided to focus on repairing the roads they have.

In general, he added, accommodation will be mostly adequate in all the host cities, with university halls of residence and campsites being utilised. His major concern is that there are too few four- and five-star hotels in Donetsk, where a quarter-final and semi-final will be played.

"The worst situation is in Donetsk," he said. "We are working with Ukraine's deputy prime minister and the mayor of Donetsk to arrange charter flights from Kiev to those matches."

Kallen did, though, say that with luck, Euro 2012 can be a success, saying the atmosphere will be greatly improved if the draw helps fans from neighbouring Russia and Germany to travel more easily, and the host nations go far in the tournament. "We need a little bit the luck of the draw, then a lot of our issues will be resolved. Overall we think it will be a good tournament and fans will have a good time in the Ukraine and Poland."

Euro 2012 Qualifying Playoffs: 10 Bold Predictions

While all of Europe's top sides will also be in action during the upcoming round of international fixtures, the attention will for the most part be on some of the less fashionable teams.

Spain, Netherlands, Germany and Italy will all be in action as they contest their respective double-headers of friendlies, safe in the knowledge they have already booked their place at next summer's European Championships without suffering defeat in their qualifying group (Spain and Germany, finalists four years ago, both did so with 100 percent records).

Plenty of other nations have already failed to reach next year's finals in Poland and Ukraine, but there are eight countries still in international purgatory—otherwise known as the playoffs. Whether they have already exceeded expectations (Montenegro, Estonia) or failed to meet them (Portugal, Croatia), eight into four simply won't go.

Here are 10 scenarios we can look forward to across the four two-legged ties over the next week.

1. There Will Be an Upset
There were no playoffs for the qualifying round of Euro 2008, but there is certainly a recent precedent which will fill any of the four unseeded teams—Bosnia and Herzegovina, Turkey, Montenegro, Estonia—with confidence.

In 2009, minnows Slovenia were drawn against the mighty Russia, who were semifinalists in Austria and Switzerland just a year before and boasted stars such as Andrei Arshavin, Roman Pavlyuchenko and Yuri Zhirkov. Matjaz Kek's side looked well beaten in the first leg in Moscow courtesy of goals either side of halftime from Everton's Diniyar Bilyaletdinov, but in the 88th minute Nejc Pecnik gave Slovenia a sliver of hope.

In the return leg in Maribor, it was Zlatko Dedic who became a folk hero for this young nation when he scored the only goal to send a team representing just two million people to the biggest sporting event on the planet.

In South Africa, they were one of several small nations who performed admirably—beating Algeria, drawing with USA and only losing 1-0 to England—and in doing so gave hope to all the underdogs of international football.

In South Africa, they were one of several small nations who performed admirably—beating Algeria, drawing with USA and only losing 1-0 to England—and in doing so gave hope to all the underdogs of international football.

2. There Will Be a Refereeing Shocker
This is the part where every Irishman will wince. Just the mere mention of the phrase "playoff" will be enough to send a shudder down the spine of every fan supporting Giovanni Trapattoni's boys. Which, given they are preparing for one right now, means here's a whole lot of shaking going on.

The reason for the playoff-phobia is one of the most shocking moments of unsporting behaviour ever seen in the international arena—Thierry Henry's extra-time handball which set up William Gallas's injury-time goal that settled the tie in the most dramatic of circumstances. Both the name of the French striker and referee Martin Hansson will forever be mud from Clare to Cork, as well as every Irish bar across the globe.

While we will unlikely see such an aberration of officiating this time—UEFA now have extra linesmen behind each goal—the chances are that at least one of the eight matches will have one refereeing trick or another. It only remains to be seen how costly it is.

3. A Chance for Revenge?
This time two years ago, Bosnia and Herzegovina were preparing to face Portugal in a playoff for World Cup qualification.

The 2004 European Championship semifinalists were missing their star man and reigning World Player of the Year, Cristiano Ronaldo, with an ankle injury, but they still managed to prevail with two 1-0 wins courtesy of goals from Bruno Alves and Raul Meireles. Portugal ended up being eliminated in the second round by eventual champions Spain, but they never looked like World Cup winners.

This time, however, Bosnia are two years older and wiser, with stars like Edin Dzeko, Zvjezdan Misimovic, Miralem Pjanic and Vedad Ibisevic approaching their peak years.

The Portuguese are of course still favourites, but Bosnia are well equipped to gain revenge for two years ago if Cristiano and Co. do not get their act together. Which, let's face it, is why they are in the playoffs in the first place.

4. A Star Will Be Born
Most of the eight teams in the playoffs can boast at least one genuine star among their ranks. Portugal have players dotted around many of Europe's top clubs, most of the Ireland squad play in the Premier League while Croatia and Turkey have their fair share of famous names too.

But what of Konstantin Vassiljev, the Amkar Perm attacking midfielder and Estonian Footballer of the Year, whose five goals helped fire his country into this two-legged shootout from Group C ahead of Serbia and Slovenia, two countries who reached the last World Cup?

Or how about Ivan Strinic, the Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk left-back who has helped veteran defenders Vedran Corluka and Josip Simunic concede just seven goals in Group F, the best defensive record of the eight playoff contenders?

Or even Sercan Yildirim, the promising young Galatasaray striker who already has a Turkish league title under his belt from his days at Bursaspor?

All it takes is one impressive display, or even one game-changing moment, in the playoffs to announce a new star on the football world.

5. A Tournament Dark Horse Will Emerge
If all four of the seeded teams are the ones to come through their respective ties, then Portugal would immediately have to be considered as dark horses, simply by dint of being good but not as good as Spain, Germany or Netherlands.

But Croatia or even Ireland have the potential to go on a run and upset the odd giant. Before you scoff at the suggestion of a grinding, obdurate Ireland making the semis, remember Greece won in 2004 doing much the same.

Even among the unseeded sides, two sparkling performances in the next week would certainly make people's interest raised and bookies' odds lowered. Turkey made it all the way to the last four in thrilling style four years ago, while Bosnia have all the ingredients needed to spring a real surprise next summer.

6. A Coach Will Be Fired
Come the end of any qualification campaign or major tournament, there is always a slew of managerial casualties. Some have simply come to the end of their contracts and their departure is suitable for all, it's true, but there are usually one or two more acrimonious partings as well.

Paulo Bento inherited a Portugal squad way short of the sum of its parts when he took over from the sacked Carlo Queiroz in September of last year. He led them to five straight wins which rescued their qualification hopes, but fell at the final hurdle by losing to Denmark and having to settle for a playoff place. His current runs until August 2012, which is a much of an incentivised deal as you could imagine. Fail to qualify and he'll be packing up his desk long before then.

The same goes for Guus Hiddink, whose contract with Turkey expires next summer. While the avuncular Dutchman has made international management his forte, he experienced failure last time out with Russia. Should that happen again, the Turkish FA, who had to deal with plenty of speculation over their man leaving for Chelsea this summer and were even resigned to his departure, may decide that is the opportune moment to call it quits.

Croatia boss Slaven Bilic was hailed as the next exciting young manager in world football when he helped mastermind reaching the 2008 Euros at the expense of England, but such are expectations now that failure to reaching back-to-back tournaments may lead the Croatian governing body to decide they have outgrown him.

Before the tournament kicks off in earnest next summer, heads will roll.

7. There Will Be Drama
The very nature of the playoffs, given what is at stake, lends itself well to dramatic circumstances, and those for international tournaments have always delivered somewhere or other.

In the battle for a place at Euro 2004, Croatia looked on their way out on away goals after they were held to a 1-1 draw with Slovenia in Zagreb, only for Dado Prso to score in Ljubljana and continue that emerging nation's record of punching above its weight.

At the same time in Istanbul, Turkey had overturned their 1-0 deficit in Latvia with two goals at home, only for the Latvians to turn the tie back on its head 14 minutes later and go through. There is a corner of the world where the name Maris Verpakovskis will never be forgotten.

In 2006, Turkey again looked to be going through after responding to a 2-0 defeat in Berne by going ahead 4-1 at home, only for Marco Streller's 84th-minute penalty to send the Swiss through.

While there was no playoff required for Euro 2008, the thrills and spills provided by France vs. Ireland and Slovenia vs. Russia two years ago more than compensated in the drama stakes.

Come the second legs, a compelling narrative promises to play out in front of us.

8. There Will Be Rows
International football just wouldn't be the same without the rows and general unrest within a squad at just the moment when unity and humility are required the most.

The Dutch used to be masters of the major championship meltdown, so much so that it became something of a biennial tradition of sorts. While the Oranje got their act together long enough to reach the World Cup final last year, many other countries have had good stabs at emulating them. Roy Keane storming out of the Ireland camp at the 2002 World Cup and the car crash that was the France mutiny against Raymond Domenech in South Africa last year are just two such examples.

In the Portugal squad there are already rumblings of discontent, with Jose Bosingwa refusing to play for his country again while Bento is manager after the boss said publicly that the Chelsea right-back did not meet the necessary requirements to be in his squad, "especially the emotional and mental ones."

With a squad full of stars all nervous at the prospect of humiliation, tensions will run high and a few more players could fall out with the boss before the tie is through.

9. Only One Tie Will Be High-Scoring
The jeopardy of the four playoffs, the away-goals rule and the possibility of extra time and penalties should be enough to make all of these ties exciting. Which is just as well, because not all of them come with the promise of a glut of goals.

Between them in 16 group games, Czech Republic and Montenegro have scored 19 goals and conceded just 15, so that does not look like hitting double figures. Ireland's campaign has been based in their stingy defence (seven goals shipped in 10 games), and with Kevin Doyle suspended for the first leg and Shane Long and Leon Best injured the entire goal-scoring burden appears to rest on Robbie Keane's shoulders.

Croatia's defensive record (seven conceded) and Turkey's goals scored column (13) threaten to cancel each other out, so it is left to Portugal and Bosnia, with their total of 38 scored and two of the world's most in-form forwards to deliver.

10. Regardless of the Results, Some Teams Just Can't Lose
With a population of just 625,000, Montenegro's achievement of reaching as high as 16th in the FIFA world rankings earlier this year must see them as arguably the biggest overachievers in world football.

The nation's FA may be so ambitious that they sacked previous coach Zlatko Kranjcar as they stated their ambition was to qualify, not just make up the numbers. This campaign has seen the Falcons announce themselves on the international scene.

Similarly, Estonia have been another nation to impress over the past 15 months or so which has never qualified for a major tournament, and this is by far their best showing since they regained independence from the breakup of the Soviet Union two decades ago.

Just these two sides reaching the playoffs is a great achievement, and has set a high watermark for them to try and beat when the qualifying campaign for Brazil 2014 begins next year.

Republic boss Trapattoni 'proud' of Irish team

Republic of Ireland manager Giovanni Trapattoni spoke of his pride after his side secured a place in the Euro 2012 finals in Poland and Ukraine.

Republic keeper Shay Given celebrates after the final whistle in Dublin

The Republic cruised to a 5-1 aggregate win over Estonia in the play-off with Tuesday night's 1-1 draw at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin.

"Making the European Championship after 25 years is like a big trophy," said the Italian after the second leg.

"For me, for us, for all of the FAI, we are proud about our jobs."

He added: "The second game is always difficult because this team was humiliated at home, and I said to the players 'be careful, because these are not like the ones we met in Estonia'.

Republic keeper Shay Given was at fault for Estonia's only goal over the two legs but he was delighted to get through.

He said: "It's a historic moment. It's been a long 16 months but we're extremely happy. We deserved it and we'll celebrate for sure."

The Aston Villa goalkeeper admitted it was a strange night given his side's huge advantage from the first leg.

"It was a little bit, and for the crowd, because we were four goals ahead from the first leg and then five in the first half," he added.

"But we're just going to enjoy the atmosphere now.

"I think the lads deserve it. It's been a long road and we'll look forward to next summer."

http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/_56717501_inpho_00558570.jpg

Striker Robbie Keane, whose two goals in the first leg helped to put the tie beyond the Estonians, added that it was a special moment to to seal qualification in Dublin.

"Look at the crowd here - I think that says it all," said Keane in front of jubilant scenes in the stands.

"It's a great night for everyone - the fans, the players - it's a night that we'll never forget.

"Full credit to everyone who's involved in the squad. This is why we play football, for situations like this."

Did you know?
•The Republic of Ireland last qualified for the European Championships 24 years ago - a record gap between appearances which is matched by France (1960-1984) and Greece (1980-2004).

Sealing qualification to the finals in Poland and Ukraine ranks as Richard Dunne's finest moment in the game.

"It's the best experience I've had in football," said the Aston Villa defender.

"We've walked around Lansdowne Road a few times with nothing to show for it at the end of campaigns, so to qualify here is special for everyone.

"Everybody wants to play in a major tournament and now to have the opportunity is going to be great, but I think for everyone in the squad it's about enjoying this moment and enjoying the qualification."

Guus Hiddink parts company with Turkey after Euro 2012 failure

Guus Hiddink has stepped down as Turkey coach after his side failed to qualify for the Euro 2012 finals.

http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/_56747028_newgushiddink.jpg

The Turkish football federation says it has reached a mutual agreement to end the former Chelsea manager's contract, which was due to expire next summer.

Turkey lost 3-0 on aggregate to Croatia after a 0-0 draw in the second leg of the play-offs on Tuesday.

Hiddink, 65, took on his fifth national team role in August 2010 and oversaw Turkey's second-placed Group A finish.

Hiddink had previously led the Netherlands, South Korea, Australia and Russia, plus club sides including PSV Eindhoven, Real Madrid and Chelsea.

A statement on the official TFF website read: "We would like to thank Mr Guus Hiddink for his services during his working period, and wish him all the best in his future career."

In his post-match interview on Tuesday he said that he expected to end his association with Turkey, saying: "I worked for the future of Turkey but I think this is my last match with this team - there is a high probability of that."

Hiddink, who boasts one of football's most impressive managerial CVs, is certain to be in high demand and the likes of Paris Saint-Germain in France and Russian Premier League side Anzhi Makhachkala have been linked with his services.

England avoid Germans in Euro draw

http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/euro2012qualdraw-england_275x155.jpg

England will avoid old rivals Germany in the group stages of Euro 2012 after UEFA confirmed the seedings for next summer's tournament.

England are in the second pot alongside Euro 2008 runners-up Germany, 2006 world champions Italy and Russia, meaning Fabio Capello's men will avoid those teams until the knockout stages.

The Three Lions could be drawn in the same group as Republic of Ireland, who booked their place in their first major championship in a decade on Tuesday.

However, perhaps the most daunting outcome of the draw, which will take place on December 2, would be for England to be drawn alongside reigning world and European champions Spain, Portugal and France.

The Spanish are in the top group of seeds, alongside 2010 World Cup finalists Holland plus co-hosts Poland and Ukraine, who have already been allocated to groups A and D respectively.

A more palatable group for Capello's team might be to be drawn against Poland - with England having already confirmed they will be based in Krakow - Greece and the Czechs.

Ireland are in the fourth group of seeds alongside Denmark, the Czech Republic and France. That means they cannot face the French, who knocked them out in a controversial World Cup qualification play-off two years ago.

The pots have been decided on the countries' UEFA coefficient rankings, except for the co-hosts.


Seedings for Euro 2012

• Pot 1: Spain, Holland, Poland*, Ukraine*.

• Pot 2: Germany, Italy, England, Russia.

• Pot 3: Croatia, Greece, Portugal, Sweden.

• Pot 4: Denmark, France, Czech Republic, Republic of Ireland

* Poland already allocated to Group A, Ukraine already allocated to Group D.

Ticketless Ireland fan watches match from Estonia bench

http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/conor_cunningham.jpg

Traveling to an international game without a ticket is a risky business, as part-time fitness instructor Conor Cunningham found out on Friday when he turned up in Tallinn for Ireland's vital Euro 2012 play-off with Estonia. Faced with coughing up €600 for a seat in the 10,300-capacity A. Le Coq Arena, the Irishman did what any sensible fan who had traveled 1,900 miles on a whim would do: he tried to sneak in.

Spotting an open doorway, Cunningham made a run for it and came across bag of balls (a ball bag, if you will) and an Estonia team tracksuit. Much like Ryan Giggs when he hears his wife's key in the front door, he quickly put the tracksuit on and acted as if everything was completely normal.

Assuming the role of an Estonian official of some sort, Cunningham channeled all his testicular fortitude and made his way out to the pitch:

"I didn't know what to do, to be honest, so I thought I'd better go into the Estonian dug-out. No one said anything to me and then I realised I was sitting beside their manager (Tarmo Ruutli). It was about 10 or 15 minutes into the match when a UEFA official got suspicious of me. He came over and, after talking to me, told me I had to move."

Quite how the Estonia manager didn't notice a complete stranger in the place of one of his team is beyond comprehension, but Cunningham watched the rest of the game from an empty seat elsewhere when he was moved on. At the conclusion of the historic 4-0 victory, he managed to celebrate with the Ireland players on the pitch...

When an official clocked the unusual site of someone in an Estonia tracksuit holding a large bag of balls celebrating with the opposition, he was asked to surrender the balls and leave. Before leaving with tales of his epic blag, however, he videoed himself with Robbie Keane and co in the post-match interview area...

Don't be surprised if sales of Poland and Ukraine tracksuits suddenly spike in Ireland at the beginning of next summer.

Euro 2012 Draw: All You Need to Know

http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/129143936_crop_650x440.jpg

On Friday, the draw for next summer's Euro 2012 finals will take place, and the 16 qualified nations will find out who they will face in the group stages of the tournament in Poland and Ukraine.

BR's Michael Cummings will be running a live blog of the proceedings from 6 p.m. CET (2 p.m. Eastern US / 11 a.m. Pacific). We'll naturally be delivering plenty of reaction immediately afterwards too, so be sure to check back for all the ramifications.

In the meantime, here's everything you need to know ahead of the draw on Friday.

Where Is It Taking Place?
UEFA are hosting the draw at the Ukraine Palace of Arts in Kiev.

According to Wikipedia, Christina Aguilera, Enrique Iglesias and Luciano Pavarotti are the among the notable performers to have graced the venue in the past.

Who Will Be There?
UEFA General Secretary Gianni Infantino will be conducting the draw with the help of TV presenters lga Freimut and Piotr Sobczynski.

UEFA tell us entertainment will be provided by "the P. Virsky Ukrainian National Folk Dance Ensemble, Ukrainian singer Jamala and a surprise international artist."

We should also expect the national managers of each of the 16 qualified teams, along with a host of legendary names from the tournament's previous editions. The Euro 2012 motto is "creating history together," and the organisers have hence invited a collection of former stars.

How Will the Draw Work?
There are four groups of four to be drawn, with each to be comprised of one team from each of the four seeding pots.

Groups A, B, C and D will all consist of one x Pot A team, one x Pot B team, one x Pot C team and one x Pot D team.

Pot 1 teams will be drawn first, followed by Pot 4, then Pot 3 and finally Pot 2 to make up the groups. This means those in Pot 2 are in for the most agonising wait (not good news for England fans).

We already know Poland are the Pot 1 team in Group A and Ukraine the Pot 1 team in Group D. The hosts have been guaranteed top seeding and a place in the group played out in their home city.

What Are the Seedings?
Aside from the hosts, who automatically go as Pot 1 seeds, the remaining 14 teams have been ranked using the UEFA National Team Coefficient. Here are the pots.

Pot 1: Poland (Group A), Ukraine (Group D), Spain, Netherlands

Pot 2: Germany, Italy, England, Russia

Pot 3: Croatia, Greece, Portugal, Sweden

Pot 4: Denmark, France, Czech Republic, Republic of Ireland

Group of Death?
As with all draws these days, we must address the possibility of a "Group of Death."

It's highly unlikely, but we could potentially see a group containing the behemoths of Spain, Germany, Portugal and France.

Those are arguably the strongest teams in their respective pots, so teams will be desperately hoping to avoid them.

Group of Eternal Life?
According to the UEFA coefficient, here the weakest teams in their respective pots.

Pot 1: Poland

Pot 2: Russia

Pot 3: Sweden

Pot 4: Republic of Ireland

This would suggest the best draw for any team is to find yourself accompanied by three of these in a group. As a caveat, I'd make the case for Poland getting to play in front of partisan crowd, Russia having lost just once in 10 qualifiers and Republic of Ireland riding on a wave of national hysteria.

Sweden were so bad against England at Wembley I can't find anything good to say about them.

A Random Prediction
There's really no point of this final slide, other than to entertain myself with a wild guess at the draw. Oh, and to illustrate once again the fact that each group will consist of seeds from pots 1, 2, 3 and 4.

Group A: Poland, Germany, Portugal, Denmark

Group B: Spain, Russia, Croatia, France

Group C: Netherlands, England, Sweden, Republic of Ireland

Group D: Ukraine, Italy, Greece, Czech Republic

Euro Cup 2012 Draw: Group-by-Group Guide to Poland and Ukraine Next Summer

http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/134558128_crop_650x440.jpg

Friday December 2nd, 2011 saw the wait and anticipation for the 2012 UEFA European Championship draw come to a close.

The results saw some teams get lucky; however other nations will be scratching their heads as to how they ended up with such a tough result.

Host nations Poland and the Ukraine both received draws that they will hope to take advantage of as each avoided the Group of Death, which has turned out to be possibly one of hardest groups in European Championship history.

Lets take a look at where the 16 teams qualified for the 2012 UEFA European Championship have been placed after another great levitated draw.

Group A
Clearly the easiest group of the tournament is the first one completed on the docket. Host nation Poland takes the first seat in the group followed by Greece, Russia and the Czech Republic. All four teams are ranked out of the top 10 in FIFA's Coca-Cola World Rankings.

Russia comes in the the highest at 12th, Greece 14th, Czech Republic at 33rd and Poland the lowest at 66th in the world.

While the group is made up of the majority of the lower-ranking teams in the tournament, it should make for some great open play.

Czech Republic is most likely the sleeper to take second but Greece and Russia will be expected to take the spots in the quarterfinals.

Poland—The host nation got lucky with a weak group but they are still likely to be knocked out. The Poles will look back to their form in the nation's September 6, 2011 friendly with Germany, which they drew 2-2 thanks to a late German goal, as inspiration for the first round.

Greece—Known for their defensive style of play that helped them win the 2004 European Championship, the Grecian army returns to the biggest competition in UEFA once again this summer. Ironically they are grouped with Russia who were one of the teams that helped usher them out of the group stage in 2008.

Russia—The Bears made a great run in the 2008 Euros thanks to brilliant play from Andrei Arshavin and others in their squad. Both Arshavin alongside Roman Pavlyuchenko and Diniyar Bilyaletdinov are expected to be the key players for the team.

Czech Republic—The Czechs could be a surprise team to take a second-place finish in the group. Milan Baros was the Euro 2004 Golden Boot winner and is one of the most feared international strikers in his nation's history. Midfielder Tomas Rosicky as well as goalkeeper Petr Cech are the other big players expected to make a huge difference for their nation.

Projected Winners—Russia and Czech Republic

The SPI Odds: Russia—63.4 percent, Poland—55.7 percent, Czech—54 percent, Greece—28.0 percent

Group B: The Group of Death
In most cases the term "Group of Death" is enough to signify a hotly contested group, but Group B of the 2012 UEFA European Championships beats all I have seen. All four nations are ranked in the top eight of UEFA and the top 11 in the world. Three of them in the top five of UEFA.

The Netherlands were the 2010 World Cup Runners-Up and will be favored with their current world ranking still in second place behind Spain. Germany were third in the 2010 World Cup while Portugal are ranked seventh in the world and Denmark 11th.

Netherlands—The Oranje made a quicker exit than they wanted to in the 2008 competition thanks to Russia, who scored two goals in the last eight minutes of extra time to send the eventual 2010 World Cup runners-up packing.

This summer is a long way away but if Robin van Persie carries his form over to the national stage he could carry his nation to the final on his back alone.

Denmark—The Danes are the lowest-ranked nation in the group at 11th in the world. That speaks volumes about what they will have to overcome. Daniel Agger of Liverpool will captain his side from the back line but is sure to make all the effort to contribute at both ends.

Young 19-year-old Christian Erikson is expected to make a huge contribution in the midfield, while Nicklas Bendtner will have to be the goal work horse for his nation.

Germany—Die Mannschaft are one of the most consistent national teams in the last 10 years when it comes to international competitions.

Their recent exploits include 2002 FIFA World Cup Runners-up, 2006 FIFA World Cup Third Place, 2008 UEFA European Championship Runners-up, and most recently 2010 FIFA World Cup Third Place.

Polish-born Lucas Podolski is expected to be a major contributor as always.

Portugal—The Navigators were eliminated from the 2008 European Championship knockout stage by Germany. Needless to say the Portuguese will want to avoid that once again but have more than just their enemies in the group to contend with.

Projected Winners—Netherlands and Germany

The SPI Odds: Germany—78.6 percent, Netherlands—57.2% percent, Portugal—55.3 percent, Denmark—9.0 percent

Group C
Ireland were drawn with three nations in the top 10 FIFA rankings of the world. The luck of the Irish will either continue to pay off or it will end with an early elimination from the tournament as Robbie Keane and company thoroughly deserve to have a chance at a Cinderella run for an international cup.

Group C is almost guaranteed to see Spain take the group, but the other three teams could beat each other up and is up for grabs for all three. Ireland truly have a better chance than many may believe to take second place in the group.

Spain—Spain come into the group as the World and UEFA No. 1-ranked nation, and are defending World Cup Champions from 2010 and returning European Champions from 2008.

Fernando Torres was their savior against Germany four years ago, but is not looking to play spoiler at the moment with his continued dip in form.

Italy—Italy won the 2006 World Cup and have fought back to ninth in the world rankings after a disappointing 2008 Euros and 2010 World Cup. The Azzurri are not favored to advance, and could once again be set for a toothless dismissal if they do not come out of the gates tough.

Ireland—Ireland should have been in the 2010 World Cup but were denied by France, have fought tooth and nail to get into the European Championships and could be a magnificent storyline to follow next summer.

Croatia—The Blazers finished fifth in the 2008 European Championships on the back of massive performances from now world-known players like Luka Modric. Croatia have great success to look back on as they won their group over Germany four years ago.

Projected Winners—Spain and Croatia

The SPI Odds: Spain—89.7 percent, Croatia—49.5 percent, Italy—35.9 percent, Ireland—24.9 percent

Group D
Second host nation Ukraine were drawn in a group that they truly have a chance of taking a result from. England will be the heavy favorites as long as they don't shoot themselves in the foot, while France and Sweden are wild cards in the last few years.

Ukraine—The hosts have a team made up of basically a hybrid version of Dynamo Kyiv with a little of Shakhtar Donetsk mixed in.

Sweden—The Blue-Yellow have a national team with perhaps the most club teams represented in their top 23 players, as only two pairs of players are club teammates outside of the national team.

Sweden won their group in the 2004 Euros only to be eliminated by the Netherlands on penalties. They were in Group D of the 2008 Euros but where knocked out in the group stage.

France—France are coming off 12 years of frustration with their 2000 European Championship trophy being the last time they brought home any silverware as a nation. The 2006 World Cup loss to Italy was the last time they were anywhere close.

England—The Three Lions are possibly the most overrated chokers in international football.

The teams they have sent to major competitions in the last 12 years have been outstanding, but have failed to get a sniff at any silverware. Wayne Rooney's match ban could help them or hinder them as the national team know they must find a way to get some results.

Projected Winners—England and Sweden

The SPI Odds: England—71.9 percent, Sweden—46.1 percent, Ukraine—43.7 percent, France—38.4 percent

Conclusion
This coming summer's UEFA European Championship competition has the chance to be one of the best ever, and will hopefully do justice to its reputation, since the nations will contest it for the last time with only 16 teams in the competition.

Group A will be wide open as will the lower half of Group C as teams like Ireland and Poland look to make their presence felt in the tournament. The Group of Death is most certainly Group B and will be the most difficult to call, while Group D is another that has a tough call because no one knows which England National Team will show up.

All in all I cannot wait for this summer's action to get underway.

Euro 2012 Draw: 10 Possible Shocks in the Group Stages

The draw for Euro 2012 takes place this Friday at 1800 CET (12 p.m. EST) in Kyiv, Ukraine.

And, although Scotland aren't there, I can't wait.

As I'm sure you're aware, the 16 qualified teams will be drawn into four groups of four teams each. Poland and Ukraine are automatically top seeds as hosts, and they are in Pot 1 alongside Spain and the Netherlands.

However, with the likes of Germany and England in Pot 2, Portugal and Croatia in Pot 3 and even France in Pot 4, the draw could throw up some unbelievably mouth-watering ties.

Let's have a look at some of the shocking games that could be taking place in seven months' time.

The Group of Death

Spain. England. Portugal. France.

How's that for a group?!

If this was drawn on Friday, the media would have a field day, and football fans across the world would already be rubbing their hands in anticipation.

With four giants in one group, anyone could progress to the next stage.

The Group of Death 2

The Netherlands. Germany. Croatia. Czech Republic.

Another very, very interesting group.

With Croatia always providing stern opposition and the Czechs on the rise, nothing is guaranteed in this second potential "Group of Death."

Republic of Ireland vs. England

If the Republic of Ireland and England were to be drawn in the same group, the buildup to that one game would be immense.

The majority of the British Isles (and perhaps even Europe) would be rooting for the Republic, and they are more than capable of pulling off an upset.

Were Ireland to progress at the expense of the Auld Enemy, it would definitely go down in the history books as one of the biggest international shocks ever.

Denmark vs. Sweden

The Scandinavian countries are fierce rivals and could well meet in the group stages.

The Swedes have always been a solid side, and Denmark, despite only having a population of 5 million, have qualified for the last 13 of 16 international tournaments.

Denmark also won the European Championship in 1992, something the Swedes have never achieved.

It would be a shock if fireworks didn't fly in a clash between these two.

Portugal vs. England

Remember the infamous Ronaldo wink?

England fans won't be forgetting it in a hurry.

After exiting the 2006 World Cup at the hands of the Portuguese and succumbing to the same fate at the last European Championship, Fabio Capello's men will be eager to exact revenge on their European counterparts.

However, if these two do meet in the group, Wayne Rooney will miss out on a battle with his former colleague Ronaldo due to his international ban.

Germany vs. Spain

A rematch of the Euro 2008 Final could definitely be in the cards.

With Spain sitting in Pot 1 and Germany in Pot 2, the two giants of world football could meet in what would definitely be an encounter of epic proportions.

Fernando Torres scored the winner nearly four years ago in a thrilling match, and although Torres may well not even make the squad, it would be a big surprise if another sublime match wasn't served up for the world's football fans.

France vs. Italy

Another rematch here—this time between the finalists of the 2006 World Cup.

The 2006 final saw everything—drama, penalties, a moment of madness and brilliant goals.

Italy walked away victorious on that July day, but what would the outcome be if the two sides met again this summer?

With France's miraculous resurrection continuing under Laurent Blanc, and Italy steadily marching on, this match could potentially go down as one of the greatest ever.

Republic of Ireland vs. Germany

The Republic of Ireland feature again in this list, and they could pull off one of the shocks of the tournament if they upset favourites Germany.

The Irish held the Germans to a 1-1 draw in the 2002 World Cup and would probably bite your hand off if you offered them a repeat result.

Robbie Keane scored the equaliser that day and could be just as vital for his team in just a few months' time.

Greece vs. England

Everyone knows that Beckham free kick. The one that sent England to the World Cup in 2002.

However, it would be an incredible shock if the Greeks, former winners of the European Championship, could take revenge on England for that last-minute goal and stun the footballing world.

Although the Mediterranean men aren't quite the defensive maestros that marched to European victory in 2004, they are still a strong side who are a match for anyone on their day.

Russia vs. Netherlands

Andrei Arshavin has fallen off the map somewhat in recent seasons, but I will always remember his virtuoso performance against the Netherlands at the last European Championship.

The Arsenal midfielder announced his arrival in world football with a sumptuous display, tearing through the Dutch defence time and time again as his Russian teammates ground out a 3-1 extra-time victory.

Nevertheless, it would be an almighty surprise if Arshavin could summon a performance of that calibre once again if the Russians come up against the Dutch in the summer.

But one thing's for sure—I cannot wait for the tournament to begin.

5 Reasons Why Euro 2012 Will Be Harder to Win Than the World Cup

http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/UEFA_Euro_2012_logo_original_crop_650x440.jpg

The 2010 World Cup in South Africa was a success for the country's economy and global image, as it showcased a nation that many would have been apprehensive to visit despite being the colourful and friendly society that it is.

However, the football played was less enlightening.

Too many drab 0-0 and 1-0 games did nothing to dampen the spirits of the African crowds, but for the viewing public, it did nothing to fulfill their footballing urges.

The European Championship this summer in Poland and Ukraine will be a different story, however, and it will be much harder for the Spanish, who won in South Africa, to claim their second consecutive Euro crown.

More Expansive Football
As we witnessed in 2010, when teams choose to play defensively, it's entertaining for no one.

Even in the final, between two of the best attacking sides in the world, there was only one goal. And it took 116 minutes to arrive.

This summer we will see much more expansive football, which will be welcomed by every football fan across the globe.

This will in turn make it more difficult for the usual suspects to progress, and I can see a big nation dropping out early—e.g. Portugal or Italy; or maybe even, dare I say it, England.

With sides like Germany and co-hosts Ukraine boasting some precocious young talent, this summer's Euro will definitely be one to watch.

Polish/Ukrainian Fans
The Fans in Eastern Europe are renowned the world over for their vociferous nature.

The "Poznan" celebration, originally established in the 1960s by Polish club Lech Poznan, has been adopted by countless clubs including Manchester City, and is an indication of how boisterous the fans are in Poland.

Ukrainian supporters have a reputation for being even noisier, and with the two respective nations behind their team, playing either of the hosts will be a daunting task.

Due to their support, Poland and/or Ukraine could cause an upset this summer.

More Evenly Matched Teams
As is the case with most World Cups, there was a massive range in the quality of teams in 2010.

Even New Zealand, the overwhelming outsiders and minnows of the tournament, were ranked higher by FIFA than fellow competitors North Korea (78th compared to 105th).

This made for some easy first round victories for the likes of Portugal and the Ivory Coast (7-0, and 3-0 vs. North Korea, respectively).

And despite a spirited display from New Zealand, they still crashed out at the group stages and were the only unbeaten side in the tournament.

This summer, though, the lowest FIFA ranked side is co-hosts Poland at 66th, who arguably deserve a higher ranking.

The effect of having home fans behind a national side during a major championship has proven in the past to be a massive factor, and their will be no easy games for any of the big teams.

For these reasons, Euro 2012 will be much tighter and more hard fought than the 2010 World Cup.

Team Progression
Two years is a long time in football, and a lot of things have changed since 2010.

France, a nation disgraced by the behaviour of its senior professionals during the World Cup, have regrouped under new manager Laurent Blanc, and despite a racism row last year, look to be back on the right track.

With the emergence of young talent such as Maxime Gonalons and Marvin Martin, and the supreme form of Real Madrid frontman Karim Benzema, France will be a dangerous proposition for any team.

The French aside, Germany have also made great strides since South Africa.

"Die Mannschaft" finished third in South Africa, and have further developed since, winning all 10 of their Euro qualifiers.

The Germans are definitely among the favourites, boasting young talent such as Mario Gotze, Toni Kroos and Marco Reus.

Other sides have also progressed; Denmark and the Republic of Ireland are two other notable examples.

Favorable First Round Draw
The group stages in an international tournament can often throw up some spicy encounters, and this year is no different.

On first glance, the groups seem to be somewhat lopsided: Group B contains three teams ranked in the top seven by FIFA.

Group A, on the other hand, includes no nation inside the top 12, and two outside the top 30.

With Portugal, Germany, the Netherlands and Denmark all drawn in one group, it will be exciting viewing for the public, but for the countries involved it will be a hard battle to get into the knockout rounds.

On top of this, it is a great chance for lesser nations such as Poland and the Czech Republic to grab their spot in the last 16.

EURO 2012: Power Ranking Teams Based on Their Kits

http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/polska_original_crop_650x440.jpg

Football isn't about fashion but there can be some good-looking football kits on display.

Euro 2012 provides the 16 participating teams to bring out some new kit designs and look good on the pitch in two aspects.

Some of the teams have actually played in these kits before. We are looking at the best kits for each team, whether home and away.

Lets take a look and see who has the best kit in Euro 2012.

16. Greek Home Kit
http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/Greek12_display_image.jpg

Pretty straight forward look from the Greeks here. There isn't any shirt, short and socks set that I've seen, but I would guess blue shorts and probably white socks.

This kit doesn't have a wow factor. The same could be said about the Greeks style of play.

15. Croatia Home Kit
http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/CRO12final_display_image.jpg

There is not much you can do with the Croatia kit. Same old look. It's always been an interesting one though.

The away top draws your eyes to the crest, but not necessarily in a good way.

14. Czech Republic Home Kit
http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/czech2012_display_image.jpg

Tomas Rosicky looks happy. The design is simple enough and I think the crest fits in okay. Still not the best though.

13. Spain Home Kit
http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/spainhome_display_image.jpg

This is the look we have seen from Spain over the last couple years. The shirt numbers are nice, as are the socks, but there is nothing that really stands out.

We know that won't be the case when they have the ball though.

12. Ukraine Home Kit
http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/ukraine_display_image.jpg

The block across the middle adds something, not really sure what. This kit is okay, not great and not bad.

11. Denmark Home Kit
http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/denmark2012_display_image.jpg

There is a lot going on here but it doesn't really do it for me. The slashes on the shorts are interesting, but the shirt design has the usual stripes you would except from an Adidas kit.

10. Italy Home Kit
http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/Italy-New-Kit-2012_display_image.jpg

I like the shiny aspect of the shirt and the collar's incorporation of Italy colors. The rest is business as usual with the white shorts and blue socks.

09. Germany Home Kit
http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/germany-euro-2012-adidas-home-football-shirt-e_display_image.jpg

I like the shirt design. Adidas could have gone plain but the stripes are nicely done. They are not overbearing and are pretty neat. The shirt matches up well with the socks in that regard.

08. Portugal Away Kit
http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/POR212final_display_image.jpg

The shirt design alone looks good. I can see this with green shorts and white socks. The cross-like design is interesting and the colors are well done.

07. Russia Home Kit
http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/russia2012_display_image.jpg

The stripe kind of gives this jersey and old school feel. The design on the socks helps things along.

I didn't really like it at first, but maybe its just that red is my favourite colour.

06. France Away Kit
http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/FRA212final_display_image.jpg

For all its simplicity, this top is one that I really like. I could see France going with an all-white look with the blue stripes from the sleeves replicated on the shorts and socks. Or, just a plain white look alone would be nice.

05. Republic of Ireland Away Kit
http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/ireland_display_image.jpg

Similar to Portugal's jersey, if this was finished with a green shirt and white socks, the end result would be great. The stripe on the side again gives that kind of old school feel.

04. Sweden Away Kit
http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/133033162_display_image.jpg

The way that the yellow stripe continues down to the shorts and continues in the socks really puts this kit together.

A good job from Umbro here.

03. Poland Home Kit
http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/polandh2012_display_image.jpg

This is a pretty sleek look from Poland. The away jersey is the same with the shirt being fully red instead of white, and the other changes follow suit.

Numbers might appear in the middle block but they shouldn't take away from the look.

02. England Away Kit
http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/MontenegrovEnglandEURO2012QualifierWPTsdlhozwSl_di splay_image.jpg

The colors are well distributed on this kit, and I am sure it looks even better at the start of a game. The collar could have just been dark blue but the light color was a good choice.

01. Holland Away Kit
http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/2012_Netherlands_away_display_image.jpg

This is my favourite by far. Maybe it's because I didn't really expect it from Holland. I'm guessing the socks will be black with orange in there somewhere.

The overall look is just great and I would buy the jersey top straight away if given the chance. Looking forward to seeing Holland in these.

Euro 2012 Preview: 8 Things to Know About France

http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/132340347_crop_650x440.jpg

Euro 2012 will kick off this summer and we''ll take this time to take a look at the French team.

The French were at the pinnacle of the game at the turn of the century, having won the 1998 World Cup and Euro 2000.

Since then, things haven't been too great for France in the football world. Euro 2012 could or could not see that change.

Read on to for a couple pieces of info about the French National Team.

Team Unity Is Better Since 2010
http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/102176295_display_image.jpg

It's obvious the team has seen a change in fortunes since the 2010 World Cup. While Raymond Domenech certainly wasn't the best leader, the players' reactions and actions were unnecessary.

The French Football Federation dealt with the likes of Nicolas Anelka and Patrice Evra, and new coach Laurent Blanc has made sure that no such problems have come about with this crop of players.

Current Crop of Players Has a Lot to Prove
http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/132348450_display_image.jpg

Players like Laurent Koscielny, Kevin Gameiro and Marvin Martin have seen time with the squad in recent games.

If these players—and others—are eventually selected, France will have a team with some inexperience on the international level.

Inexperience may not be such a bad thing where these players are concerned. With all the hype players like Martin and Gameiro have received, and the solid performances from Koscielny, they could probably all be counted on to put their best foot forward and prove themselves on this big stage.

It's not just the recent additions who will have a lot to prove, though. Samir Nasri and Franck Ribery especially stand out as players who need to lead the team forward.

Patrice Evra will have to atone for his actions in the 2010 World Cup and some solid performances will go a long way towards doing that.

The team as a whole will have a lot to prove and with the talent at their disposal, they may end up having a successful time in the tournament.

They Will Be Darkhorses
http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/132465305_display_image.jpg

The players will have to prove themselves and the management of Laurent Blanc may work in their favour. France hasn't been a favourite for any major tournament in recent years and that won't change with this tournament.

This France team has tons of talent and though their group is tough, they should have a good chance of making it far if they play well.

Best Team in Their Group on Paper
http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/132465444_display_image.jpg

Ukraine, Sweden and England are the other teams in France's group. These opponents will not be easy by any means but, on paper, France should be able to beat them all.

They have experience and talent from defense through to attack. France will have the likes of Patrice Evra, Franck Ribery and Karim Benzema to call on.

Their results during the qualifying period also showed how much the team has improved. The French team came up with 12 wins, six draws and two losses during that time.

They Are Ranked 11th in Europe Right Now
http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/132348586_display_image-1.jpg

France is currently ranked as the 11th-best team in Europe. While that may not mean a lot to some, it could have an effect on the teams mentality considering their are only 16 teams in the competition.

It definitely puts them in the dark horse category, though. Their will be another ranking or two before the competition begins, so France does have time to change its status as it were.

Loic Remy Will Be Key
http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/132348355_display_image.jpg

Loic Remy has had a decent season for Marseille so far, and has attracted attention from the likes of Tottenham.

Remy has all the attributes to be a key player for Les Bleus in this tournament—and the future—and he could be the man to lead the line in the tournament.

Three More Friendlies
http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/132465373_display_image-1.jpg

The France team has three more friendlies before the competition begins. Iceland, Serbia and Estonia will provide those preparation games.

While the friendlies won't necessarily be all about the result but rather the performance, France should come out on top in all of those ties.

Coach Doesn't Have Confidence in His Squad
http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/132340025_display_image.jpg

While you probably wouldn't expect Laurent Blanc to come out and say he expects his team to win the competition, you wouldn't expect him to say they won't either.

That's a great vote of confidence right there, coach. France will certainly be dark horses but they don't need their coach saying they have no chance of winning. Even though this was back in November, Blanc didn't really change his tune in a recent interview.

Euro 2012 Preview: 10 Things to Know About the Netherlands

This summer, the Euro Cup 2012—hosted by Poland and Ukraine—runs from June 8 to July 1.

As the various teams begin to consider their final squads, training methods, team tactics and travel arrangements, we'll take a look at things worth knowing about the Netherlands, from players, route to the final, history and more.

Here are 10 things to know about the Oranje.

Star Players
http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/111101258_display_image.jpg

In order to be a good international side, you need good international players.

The Netherlands are fortunate to be blessed with an extremely talented squad with many fine individuals.

Come the finals, the Netherlands are likely to call upon the likes of Robin Van Persie, Arjen Robben, Rafael Van Der Vaart, and Wesley Sneijder to name but a few.

Path to the Finals
http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/140129354_display_image.jpg

The Netherlands negotiated their way to the finals by topping their group which also featured Sweden, Hungary, Finland, Moldova and San Marino.

From a possible 30 points available, the Dutch side amassed an impressive qualifying tally of 27 points.

Finals Opposition
http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/euro2012finals_display_image.jpg

ermany, Portugal, and Denmark are the teams that will face Netherlands in the finals group stages.

The so called group of death represents a tough challenge for the Dutch side.

Netherlands are ranked second in the world, with Germany third, Portugal seventh and Denmark 11th.

Management
http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/BertVanMarwijk_display_image.jpg

Bert Van Marwijk is the national coach of the Netherlands, and he has a fairly strong management history having been at Feyonoord and Borussia Dortmund prior.

Van Marwijk led Netherlands to the World Cup Final 2010 where they lost against Spain.

The Dutchman will be hoping to do better in this tournament.

Odds of Winning
http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/111101239_display_image.jpg

Despite being ranked by FIFA as the second best team in the competition, bookmakers WIlliam Hill have the Netherlands down as the third favourites at a price of 7/1.

Spain—9/4—and Germany—3/1—are ahead of them in the gambling stakes.

Pedigree
http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/132671628_display_image.jpg

Netherlands are in good form heading into this competition and have decent pedigree in international competition.

Having won Euro 1988, Netherlands have also finished third in 1908, 1912 and 1920, with a fourth place finish in 1924.

Netherlands have been runners up three times in the World Cup including 1974, 1978 and 2010.

Opening Game
http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/129157914_display_image.jpg

The opening game of a tournament can really inspire players and set them on the route to victory.

Netherlands opening match is against the weakest opposition in their group—Denmark.

Should they win that game, their tournament may snowball from there.

Captain
http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/140710126_display_image.jpg

All great sides need an inspirational and experienced captain for international compeitions.

Mark Van Bommel is the captain of the Dutch team, and coincidentally the son-in-law of manager Bert Van Marwijk.

Having played for PSV, Barcelona, Bayern Munich and AC Milan, Van Bommel is a technically sound player with bags of experience.

At 34 years old, he could be in his last international tournament.

Tournament Prediction
http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/ArjenRobben_display_image.jpg

Predictions are a tough one for a team in such a difficult group, but I fully expect Netherlands to progress from their group at the expense of Portugal and Denmark.

Netherlands will beat Denmark and Portugal and draw with Germany.

I expect the Oranje to finish second in their group but make it to at least the semi-finals of the competition.

Support
http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/Netherlandsfanscelebrate_display_image.jpg

he Netherlands have a unique set of fans that are always wearing the vibrant colour orange to represent their nations.

The Dutch support will play a large part in how far the national team progresses and you can bank on seeing a sea of orange on match days.

Afterthoughts
Netherlands are one of those great underachieving nations in international competitions, but their World Cup 2010 final appearance shows that things are heading in the right direction under Bert Van Marwijk.

Netherlands really do have the quality and experience required to win this competition, and they may shock a few people in just how well they perform along the way.

Euro 2012 Preview: 10 Things to Know About Portugal

his summer, the Euro Cup 2012 is hosted by Poland and Ukraine runs from June 8-July 1.

As the various teams begin to consider their final squads, training methods, team tactics and travel arrangements, we'll take a look at things worth knowing about Portugal, from players, route to the final, history and more.

Here are 10 things to know about Portugal.

Star Players


As always with international teams, there are certain players considered to be the marquee performers on the pitch.

Unless you've been living under a rock for the last half decade, then you know that Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the best players on the planet.

So who else does Portugal have to turn to?

The more household names include Ricardo Carvalho, Pepe, Fabrio Coentrao, Raul Meireles, Nani, Ricardo Quaresma and Joao Moutinho.

Path to the Finals
http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/115255768_display_image-1.jpg

After initially facing Denmark, Norway, Iceland and Cyprus in the qualifying rounds, Portugal only managed a second place finish with five wins, one draw and two defeats from their eight games.

Finishing second to Denmark meant that Portugal had to qualify for the finals by way of the playoffs.

Playoffs
http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/132933848_display_image.jpg

Portugal were drawn against Bosnia and Herzigovina in the playoff round, with the winner taking a place in the Euro 2012 finals.

The draw meant that Portugal would have the second leg of the tie played in their home country, proving to be critical to the result.

After the first leg of the tie resulted in a 0-0 draw, many could be forgiven for thinking Portugal would be nervous in the second leg.

That wasn't the case though with Cristiano Ronaldo getting on the score sheet as early as the eighth minute.

Portugal ran out 6-2 winners and progressed into the Euro 2012 finals.

Finals Opposition
http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/euro2012finals_display_image.jpg

Portugal face one of the toughest groups to get through after being put into Group B with Netherlands, Denmark, and Germany.

With Germany ranked third in the world rankings behind second placed Netherlands, Portugal may find this group tough to progress from given Denmark already bettered them in their qualifying group.

Portugal are certainly in this tournament's group of death.

Management
http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/140181684_display_image.jpg

Portugal are currently managed by Paulo Bento—a former player for Sporting CP and eventual manager of the team.

Bento was hired following Carlos Queiroz poor start to the Euro 2012 qualifying campaign that got the coach sacked.

Odds of Winning
http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/Naniportugal_display_image.jpg

Now that Portugal have made the finals, they have a reasonable chance of winning the competition if they can get out of their initial group phase.

English bookmakers William Hill currently have Portugal as seventh favourites at 20/1 odds.

Germany—3/1, Netherlands—7/1, and Denmark—100/1, make up their group respectively.

Pedigree
http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/Portugalcelebrating_display_image.jpg

When judging an international team in an international competition, it's important to know a little something about their history.

Have they won it before? Have they come close? Are they chokers?

These are all valid questions when assessing Portugal's odds.

Portugal have been runner-up once before in the competition when they hosted in 2004, and they have made the semi-finals twice prior in 1984 and 2000.

In the World Cup, Portugal finished third in 1966 and fourth in 2006.

Opening Game
http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/102462636_display_image.jpg

A strong opening can breathe life into a team's chances of winning the tournament. They say winning is a habit, so who do Portugal play first?

Portugal's opening game is against Germany on June 9th at the Arena Lviv in Poland.

Germany are the second favourites to win the competition, which will give Portugal either a reality check, supreme confidence, or a step into the unknown—all depending on the result they achieve.

Captain
http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/140181496_display_image.jpg

ehind any good team is a good captain, and Portugal's captain is Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ronaldo often receives criticism for failing to perform in big matches and major tournaments, so a lot of eyes will be looking to him to provide inspiration and leadership.

Ronaldo has notched seven goals in qualifying matches for the tournament already, and has 32 for Portugal in his career thus far.

Portugal's record goalscorer is Pauleta with 47.

Tournament Prediction
http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/Porrtugaldraw_display_image.jpg

Now we know all about the team, the individuals, the manager, the odds, and the nations tournament history, here are my predictions for Portugal:

They will lose against Germany in their opening game by two goals to nil.

They will win their second game against Denmark by two goals to one.

They will lose their third game against Netherlands by three goals to one.

They will finish third in their group behind Germany and the Netherlands and will exit the competition without progressing from the group stages.

Denmark will follow them out of the competition.

Afterthoughts
Portugal really have been dealt a harsh blow to their chances of winning the competition, and that blow is purely the group they have been placed in.

Germany and the Netherlands are both excellent teams, so if Portugal do progress it will be a major shock to one of those former nations.

Euro 2012 Preview: 10 Things to Know About Germany

Germany are the most successful nation in the history of the UEFA European championship. Three European titles (1972, 1980 and 1996) place them above all others.

However, their past several major tournaments have ended in utter frustration as great German teams have been beaten within an arm's reach of glory. Their loss in the 2008 final allowed Spain to become the only other nation besides Germany and France to have won two European Championships.

This summer's edition of the UEFA European Football Championship is one that Germany will be desperate to win, and doing so would place them on top once again after suffering heartbreaking results in both the 2008 Euros and 2010 World Cup.

With only a few more months 'til the competition kicks off in Poland and the Ukraine, the build up has only just begun.

Great WAGs
Had to start things off on a lighter note.

Germany is known for having some of the best-looking fans in the stands no matter where they go.

These fräuleins are some of the best WAGs in all of football, and we are certain to get some great views during the entirety of the tournament.

Group B: The Group of Death
http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/134558427_display_image.jpg

Germany faces by far the toughest test to get to the second round, with the Netherlands, Denmark and Portugal all standing in their way.

World Cup finalist Holland last won the European championship on German soil in 1988, but was knocked out in disappointing fashion during the quarterfinals of 2008, finishing sixth. This go around the Dutch are heavy favorites to make a run for the title.

The Danes failed to qualify for the 2008 Euros but are former champions, having lifted the 1992 trophy. Their last European championship saw them finish eighth in 2004. Denmark is the true wild card of the group, as they could beat any of their opponents on a given day and are still highly-ranked by FIFA at ninth.

Portugal is the only group member not to have won a European championship, and while the squad is highly talented, it has a knack for under-performing at the wrong time and is on the list of major nations that could be gone in the first round.

Manuel Neuer
http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/102692679_display_image.jpg

Manuel Neuer may be making his first appearance in the European championship, but his strong 2010 FIFA World Cup performance saw him perform for his nation on the biggest stage.

He will be key to the club being able to hold off attack after attack, as he will see some of the best attackers in the tournament between Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani, as well as the Netherlands' Robin Van Persie and Denmark's Christian Eriksen.

Young Defense
Germany have one of the younger sides going into the tournament at the moment.

Their defense has an average age of 24, and the highly-talented likes of Borussia Dortmund's Mats Hummels and Bayern Munich's Holger Badstuber and Jerome Boateng are all prime contenders for starts at just 23 years old.

Bayern's Phillip Lahm is sure to return as the captain in the back, but he is likely to see Hummels or Badstuber by his side rather than older former partners like Per Mertesacker of Arsenal.

Podolski and Schweinsteiger
http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/81761322_display_image.jpg

Lukas Podolski and Bastian Schweinsteiger will be hugely important to their nation once again.

There is no hiding their ability or their importance to the national side, as the two already have 95 (Podolski) and 90 (Schweinsteiger) appearances at the ages of 27 and 26.

The two have combined for 66 goals—43 for Podolski and 23 by Schweinsteiger.

Schweinsteiger also has 30 assists to add to his goals, while Podolski has nine.

Miroslav Klose
http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/102789621_display_image.jpg

This will most likely be the last major tournament of Miroslav Klose's remarkable international career. With 63 goals in 114 appearances for his nation, he is the second all-time leading goal scorer for Germany, only five goals behind the legendary Gerd Müller.

His continued ability to score for his nation was highlighted with nine goals over the 2012 European championship qualifying rounds.

Germany will need their veteran goal scorer up front to help Mario Gomez—his future replacement—shine.

Qualifying Statistics vs Group Opponents
http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/134557891_display_image.jpg

ermany had strong numbers on all sides of their team during the European championship qualification phase.

The nation's 34 goals scored were only outpaced by fellow Group B nation the Netherlands, with 37 goals scored.

Only seven goals were allowed against the team, and the only other Group B nation with a better total was Denmark, who only allowed in six while scoring just 15 for themselves.

Portugal was middle-of-the-road in both categories, with 14 goals against and 27 for.

Phenomenal Fan Support
http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/81763389_display_image.jpg

Co-host nation Poland is a geographical neighbor to Germany, just as Austria and Switzerland were in 2008.

If you think the fan support in Austria and Switzerland was strong four years ago, you can be sure it will be just as great or better this summer.

With three of the hardest games in the opening round—against Portugal, the Netherlands and Denmark—the German national team will need all the support they can get.

Talented Youngsters Set to Explode
This summer will see Germany have some of the best young talent in the world on display.

Borussia Dortmund's Mario Götze, at only 19, is likely to be one of those that step into the spotlight and shine for their nation at the Euros.

Other young players that will look to begin a long tenure with the national team are Bayern Munich 22-year-olds Toni Kroos and Thomas Müller.

Mesut Ozil at 23 is still looking to make an even bigger impact, as are fellow 23-year-olds, Mats Hummels and Holger Badstuber.

Rounding out the possible youth display are several others in their early 20s, such as Borussia Monchengladbach's Marco Reus, Schalke 04 defender Benedikt Höwedes, VfL Wolfsburg's Christian Träsch, and Lars and Sven Bender of Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Dortmund, respectively.

Expectations of Victory
In Germany's proud European championship history, they have already lifted Europe's biggest national trophy three times in 1972, 1980 and 1996.

What those results don't tell you is that every time they have finished second place in the competition, the nation has come back and won the following tournament.

In 2008 Germany were beaten 0-1 by Spain, thanks to a Fernando Torres goal. This time around the Germans will be out to make sure history repeats itself in their favor.

Conclusion

Germany have a deep and rich European championship history, and they are chomping at the bit to get back on top of Europe.

Although they face a daunting task of getting out of Group B alive, if they succeed in that trial they will have even higher expectations on their backs.

How far do you think Germany can go this summer?

Man City's Mario Balotelli handed Italy boost for Euro 2012

Italy coach Cesare Prandelli insists Manchester City's Mario Balotelli remains key to Italy's Euro 2012 plans.

http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/_59802522_mario_balotelli_getty.jpg

The temperamental striker was left out of the Azzurri squad in February after his stamp on Tottenham's Scott Parker during a Premier League clash.

"I never really thought of doing this without Balotelli, he is a focal point of the national team," Prandelli said.

"Have I made peace with Balotelli? Yes, although to be honest we never argued in the first place."

Question marks hung over Balotelli's club future in England after his red card against Arsenal prompted City manager Roberto Mancini to announce he would "probably" sell the forward at the end of the current campaign.

Balotelli has since apologised for his dismissal at the Emirates, which came on the back of a four-match suspension for a controversial challenge on Parker in January.

Question marks hung over Balotelli's club future in England after his red card against Arsenal prompted City manager Roberto Mancini to announce he would "probably" sell the forward at the end of the current campaign.

Balotelli has since apologised for his dismissal at the Emirates, which came on the back of a four-match suspension for a controversial challenge on Parker in January.

However, the incident cast further doubt over his international future following Prandelli's decision to omit him from the squad for the friendly against the United States in February in line with a code of conduct he introduced upon taking over in 2010.

But Prandelli told Italian broadcaster Rai that Balotelli was never out of contention for a place in his squad for this summer's European Championship, in which Italy face defending and world champions Spain, Ireland and Croatia in Group C.

Prandelli added: "I was pleased that he took responsibility with his statements after the latest incident at Manchester City. I like those who stand up and accept responsibility for their actions."

Dutch power company warns against beautiful Ukrainian women at Euro 12

MH-7iiGhh7w

Euro 12 is almost here and the Netherlands Energy Company is nervous. As Ukraine and Poland make their final preparations to host the tournament in June, the Dutch firm seems to think it is in danger of a lull in summer business as fans travel abroad to support the national team. So it's come up with an ad campaign to combat this. And the basis of this facetious campaign is to convince Dutch women that their significant others will be seduced by Ukrainian ladies if they let them go to Euro 12 (The Netherlands play their group stage matches in Ukraine). But if that doesn't work, free beer taps!

From the AP:

In the clip titled ''Keep Him Home,'' the Netherlands Energy Company offers a free beer tap to customers who sign up for its services. If Dutch men were able to tap their own beer, the ad implies, they would be more likely to watch the games at home instead of traveling to Ukraine.

An Internet search of ''Ukrainian woman'' shown in the clip yields dozens of photos of women in erotic outfits and poses.

[Ukrainian] Foreign Ministry spokesman Oleh Voloshin said Wednesday the ad was ''humiliating and discriminatory.''

Beyond the TV ad above, NEC commits further to its joke by also having a multi-page spoof website all about the threat of Ukrainian women that probably won't please the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry, either.

The front page of the site reads:

Ukrainian women are well-known for being highly sought-after in the international marriage and dating industry. Many foreign men come to Ukraine in the hopes of finding the true love they couldn't find at home. At their service are scores of marriage agencies, travel agencies with dating tour packages, and a thriving sex industry. How did Ukraine achieve the dubious fame of an international supplier of accessible and marriageable women? Are Ukrainian women all they're cracked up to be? This site will try to take an objective, cold-blooded look at Ukrainian women.

And then it shows a collage of models and actresses (Hayden Panettiere in the top corner?), many of whom aren't even Ukrainian.

In addition to the questions of sexism, stereotypes and international relations, surely co-host Poland is left to wonder why its beautiful women are being ignored by the Netherlands Energy Company.

Ukraine's national stadium - and the championship's biggest venue - is undergoing a spectacular makeover, which will include a transparent roof, to prepare it for group-stage matches, a quarter-final and the final.

Dynamo Kiev played European games there prior to closure for renovation.

Kiev, on the banks of the Dnieper river, is Ukraine's capital and largest city.

As its current name suggests, FC Karpaty Lviv's gleaming new home has been built from scratch for the championship. Naming rights are to be sold in due course.

Euro 2012 will open at Poland's new National Stadium, which has been built with £255million of government money on the site of the old 10th Anniversary Stadium.

Close to the Vistula river, it resembles a wicker basket decorated in a waving Polish flag. Warsaw, despite a turbulent history, is a thriving capital and home to 1.7million people.

The home of KKS Lech Poznan and Warta Poznan, built in 1980, is being renovated ahead of the championship. A venue renowned for its atmosphere, it will be Poland's biggest club ground when complete.

Ledakan Bom Guncang Ukraina
Insiden ledakan bom ini terjadi tiga bulan menjelang pelaksanaan Piala Eropa 2012.

Keamanan di Ukraina menjelang Piala Eropa 2012 kembali menjadi sorotan menyusul terjadinya aksi peledakan bom beruntun di kota Dnipropetrovsk hari ini.

Sedikitnya 14 orang mengalami luka cukup serius akibat empat bom meledak di kota yang berjarak sekitar 402 kilometer dari Kiev tersebut. Empat ledakan ini terjadi dalam rentang waktu berdekatan.

Ukraina menjadi tuan rumah pertandingan antara Prancis dan Inggris pada 11 Juni di Donetsk, dan dilanjutkan dengan duel The Three Lions melawan Swedia empat hari kemudian di Kiev.

Presiden Ukraina Viktor Yanukovich menyampaikan keprihatiannya atas insiden ledakan bom tersebut, dan meminta masyarakat untuk tetap bersatu.

“Kami memahami ini menjadi tantangan bagi kami di seluruh penjuru negeri,” ujar Yanukovich kepada wartawan.

“Kami akan memikirkan bagaimana merespon peristiwa ini dengan sikap yang benar.”

Kick-off Piala Eropa 2012 akan dilakukan pada 7 Juni di Warsawa, dimana Polandia sebagai salah satu tuan rumah mengawali laganya melawan Yunani.

Euro 2012 fans might be deafened by Polish ‘sound cannons’

http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/soundcannon.jpg

With all the news of measles, dog slaughter, and "criminal" police forces in Ukraine, it's about time we heard something controversial about Euro 2012 co-hosts Poland. And that controversy has arrived in the form of "sound cannons" — crowd control devices that blast out noise at horrendous volumes to curb the enthusiasm of rowdy fans. Polish police plan to use them this summer, but there are concerns that they could cause deafness in anybody unlucky enough to be standing near them. The Sun reports:

The ear-splitting gizmos mounted on trucks were unveiled as police chiefs vowed zero-tolerance to thuggery when the tournament kicks off next month.

Last night there were growing fears the indiscriminate weapons — which unleash bursts of sound equivalent to a jet engine taking off — could also maim those not involved in any trouble.

These incapacitating measures aren't necessarily being taken for the sake of travelling fans, but rather Poland's home-grown trouble makers. According to the BBC, violence and racism are still rife in the country:

The assumption is that Poland's hard-core hooligan groups will cause trouble during the championship and abuse foreign fans and players.

Theo van Seggelen, secretary general of players' union Fifpro, told the BBC recently he was not "100% convinced" that "accidents" would not occur both inside and outside stadiums if the majority of fans watching the matches came from the co-host nations, Poland and Ukraine.

In recent games hooligans have been known to light fires in stadiums and sing offensive anti-semitic songs. Neither of which will be welcome when UEFA's shiny corporate sponsored machine rolls into town.

And on a separate-but-equally-negative note, next time you're frustrated in line at the DMV, spare a thought for fans who wish to cross the border between Poland and Ukraine during the tournament: average queue times are said to be between five and seven hours.

The Newest Psychic Match-Picking Animal Is A Ukrainian ‘Oracle Hog’ for Euro 2012

http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/pig.png

In the tradition of Paul the Octopus (What? Two years makes for tradition, right?), the European Championships now have their very own psychic match-picking animal. It’s a pig, from Ukraine, name unknown. City officials have recruited the “oracle hog” to bring more excitement to the Kiev fan zone by having it root out the result (PUN) of the upcoming match every day at 16.00.

We’ve yet to see any evidence that the “oracle hog” (seriously, bring home the bacon [PUN] ala Pulpo Paul, he needs a name. Let’s go with “Havryil” for no particular reason) has the chops (PUN) to pick games accurately, and the secretive selection process does not allow observers to get their snouts (PUN) into it.

The possibility that the pig in question was chosen due to governmental pork (PUN) cannot be ignored. We thereby request a full investigation into the process, simply as a matter of disclosure.

It’s a pig picking soccer matches. Bad puns abound. Feel free to do your own, it’s like a really annoying madlib.

Euro 2012 Countdown: England Ranked Behind Shakhtar Donetsk in New List

http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/140225889_crop_650x440.jpg

What if national teams played clubs and we could rank them all together in a gigantic feast of football fanaticism?

Well, it's time to stop wondering. The fine folks at Infostrada have already done it for us.

The results? As Eurosport-Yahoo! reports, England fans might be a bit miffed.

Football statisticians Infostrada have ranked England as the 18th-best team in Europe after comparing national teams with club sides.

After Bayern Munich beat the Netherlands in a friendly match on Wednesday, the football boffins decided to analyse the 16 countries that will compete at Euro 2012 and judge them against their 'Euro Club Index', which scientifically analyses hundreds of thousands of matches from the top divisions in all European nations as well as Europa League and Champions League games.

Fair enough. But how did England rank behind the Ukrainian Premier League's Shakhtar Donetsk, you ask? The rankings considered all matches over the last eight years but weighted recent results more heavily.

Thus, based on form over the last eight years, England's national team is worse than Shakhtar Donetsk. It's all science, man. Don't shoot the messenger.

Click here for a graphic showing the top 25, along with the rest of the Euro 2012 field. Interesting tidbits in the graphic include Spain being ranked only fourth, and the Republic of Ireland being compared to France's Montpellier (an unexpected title this summer then?).

And, as you might have noticed, the rankings placed Italy behind Benfica and Atletico Madrid—even though Italy won a World Cup only six years ago!

Real Madrid, FC Barcelona and Manchester United came in at Nos. 1, 2 and 3, respectively.

So, readers, what do you think? These rankings don't really mean anything...or do they?

Topless Activist Grabs Euro 2012 Trophy

http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/trophy_crop_340x234.jpg

The idea was good.

After all, who doesn't like breasts, football and shiny silver objects?

Unfortunately for us all, the execution was a bit off.

Confused? What say we let Reuters explain?

A Ukrainian women's rights activist stripped to the waist and seized the Euro-2012 soccer trophy while it was on public display in Kiev on Saturday [May 12] in a protest against the forthcoming month-long championship.

The young woman, 23-year-old Yulia Kovpachik, is a member of the Kiev-based Femen women's rights group which believes the Euro-2012 soccer tournament being played in Ukraine next month will encourage sex tourism.

Kovpachik strode up to the silver, 60 centimetre (two feet) high trophy, which was on display as a tourist attraction in an open air exhibition in central Kiev, ostensibly to be photographed alongside it like hundreds of other sightseers.

But she then pulled down her red T-shirt to reveal the words "F*** Euro 2012" scrawled on her torso. As she grabbed hold of the cup with both hands, she was seized by security guards, who appeared to have had advanced warning of the protest.

They covered her with a sheet and took her off to a waiting police car.


Silly police.

Kidding aside, Kovpachik's cause is a good one. Sex trafficking is a major problem in Ukraine, and raising awareness of that fact can only have a positive effect.

Another positive: The article says Femen regularly stages "bare-breast protests in Ukraine—and sometimes beyond—to highlight what it sees as political injustice, social abuse and the exploitation of women."

That could mean a feast for our eyes this summer, and, more importantly, that something finally gets done about human trafficking in Ukraine.

We can only hope.

Oh, and since we know you were worried, the trophy was fine.

Throw bananas and I'll kill you, warns Man City striker Balotelli ahead of Euros


Mario Balotelli has threatened to walk off the pitch if he is racially abused at Euro 2012 and said he would 'kill' anyone who dares to throw a banana at him.

Manchester City's volatile Italian striker spoke out amid increasing concerns that black players will be targeted by racists when the tournament kicks off in Poland and Ukraine next week.

The families of England players Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Theo Walcott will not travel to Ukraine because of fears for their safety but Balotelli, of Ghanaian descent, said: 'I will not accept racism at all. It's unacceptable. If someone throws a banana at me in the street, I will go to jail, because I will kill them.'

Balotelli has been the victim of racist abuse on several occasions - most recently in February when Porto were fined over the behaviour of their supporters in a Europa League tie against City.

'Let's see what happens at the Euros,' added Balotelli. 'I hope it will pass without a problem. I really couldn't deal with that.'

Balotelli, 21, was targeted by Juventus and Roma fans while playing for Inter Milan in 2009, which resulted in Juve having to play a match behind closed doors.

In June of that year, he was racially abused and pelted with bananas in a Rome bar while out with Italy teammates in the build-up to the European Under-21 Championships.

He added: 'It was lucky that the police arrived quickly because, I swear, I would have beaten them. I would have really destroyed them. I hope it never happens again.'

Anarchy in the Ukraine

An undercover Sun team filmed members of extreme right-wing militia The Patriot of Ukraine as it drilled thugs in unarmed combat, knife fighting and use of rifles and pistols at a secret camp.
One yob boasted how they planned to riot and hurl racist abuse at black England stars such as Rio Ferdinand and Ashley Cole.
He told us: “Of course we will boo your black players. There will be fighting too. Why should we apologise for it?”
The Sun team infiltrated the Patriots’ training camp by posing as British sympathisers keen to make closer ties and learn from their methods.
The group’s leaders said the hooligans were seen as “foot soldiers” who would proclaim their vile message of racial hatred to the world during Euro 2012.
All three of England’s group matches are in the Ukraine — which is jointly hosting the tournament with Poland.
The Patriots, whose 3,500 members run illegal military training camps, teach the thugs fighting skills and offer “education” in their ideology.

EA Sports Simulation Predicts Germany Will Beat Netherlands to Win Euro 2012

http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/EURO_2012_germany_trophy2_crop_650x440.jpg

Germany are the winners of Euro 2012, after beating the Netherlands 3-1 in a pulsating final.

At least that's what a tournament simulation by EA Sports has predicted.

The games manufacturer played out all 31 games on EA Sports' UEFA Euro 2012, the officially licensed expansion pack to their hugely popular FIFA 12 product.

Their mocked up tournament saw Russia, Poland, Germany, Netherlands, Spain, Italy, France and England advance from the group stages of Euro 2012.

At the quarters stage, England were beaten—all too predictably—by Spain via a penalty shootout.

http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/EURO_2012_lahm_slide_tackles_lowres_wm_V2_crop_340 x234.jpg

Netherlands beat Russia 2-0, Italy edged out France 2-1 and Germany swept aside tournament hosts Poland 3-1.

The semifinals saw Netherlands shock holders Spain 3-1, with Robin van Persie among the goalscorers for the Dutch.

In the other semi, a Miroslav Klose strike was enough to see Germany past Italy.

In the final, Van Persie's opener for the Netherlands was cancelled out by a goal from Real Madrid's Mesut Ozil. It was then left for Mario Gomez to score the winner and hand Germany their first major tournament success since 1996.

Should we read anything into it? Well maybe. Here's what the official press release said (obtained first-hand):

EA SPORTS has a proven track record of correctly predicting winners using its game engines across all of its simulation sports franchises. EA SPORTS correctly predicted Chelsea would defeat Liverpool 2-1 to capture this year’s FA Cup and Spain would win the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.The Madden NFL franchise has correctly predicted seven of the past nine Super Bowl champions.

Blanc hopeful over M'Vila injury

France midfielder a doubt for Euro 2012 clash with England

http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/FrancesYannMVilalimpsoffagainstSerbia_310_175.jpg

France coach Laurent Blanc is hopeful that key midfielder Yann M'Vila will recover from an ankle knock in time for his side's Euro 2012 opener against England.

Rennes midfielder M'Vila took a kick from Serbia's Dusan Tadic in the opening exchanges of Thursday night's 2-0 friendly win in Reims and although he tried to carry on, he was forced off the pitch in distress with just four minutes on the clock.

The 21-year-old left the stadium on crutches for tests before returning to the France bench without them in the second half.

Les Bleus coach Blanc dismissed concerns M'Vila would have to withdraw from Euro 2012 altogether and still hopes the defensive midfielder can take his place in the team at Donetsk's Donbass Arena on June 11.

"We think that he will be fit for the first game," Blanc said. "His participation in the tournament is not in question."

However, national team doctor Fabrice Bryand added a note of caution. "The ankle is not broken. It's reassuring," he said. "We, however, need 48 hours more to say if he will recover in time for the Euros."

France play Estonia on June 5 in their final warm-up match before Euro 2012.

Dries Mertens shoves Gary Cahill into Joe Hart, apologizes for breaking his jaw

http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/145596778_crop_150x100.jpg

Belgium winger Dries Mertens purposefully shoved Gary Cahill into goalkeeper Joe Hart as the England defender chased down a ball in front of his own net just 16 minutes into Saturday's friendly (I repeat: It was just a friendly). The impact forced Cahill out of the match with what X-rays later revealed to be a double fracture of the jaw, which will prevent him from participating in Euro 12.

On Sunday, after he'd had enough time to realize what a cruel fate he forced upon Cahill just because he felt the need to get pushy during a friendly, Mertens apologized on Twitter. He said:

I sincerely apologize for the harm I've cost to Cahill. When in the heat of the moment, you often don't think about the consequences...

...My thoughts go out to him and I hope he recovers well!

Gary Cahill would've responded, but it's hard to curse someone out when your jaw is broken in two places.

Dua laga awal kesempatan emas bwd duet Young-Welbeck,,drpd Andy Carroll yg srg tampil "sempak" di Liverpool,,mndg duet ini yg jadi starter.Ada kemungkinan Inggris bkl tampil defensif kaya Chelsea,,apalagi ngeliat perform lini tengah waktu lwn Belgia,,macet....hampir ga da aliran bola.Chamberlain yang dipasang di sayap kiri juga kurang mantab tusukannya.Untung Inggris punyaan back four yg mantab,,tenaga badak Phil Jones,pengalaman Terry,Martin Kelly yg segede tiang listrik,plus Baines yg disiplin di bek kiri.

Irish fans welcome England to Poland with boos and taunts

http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/145812465_crop_150x100.jpg

England arrived at their Krakow, Poland hotel on Wednesday and while they were greeted by welcoming fans, there was also a very vocal Irish delegation present. The boisterous Irish fans (whose team is based in Sopot, Poland) sang a medley of choice cuts once the England bus arrived on the, including a couple rounds of "You'll never beat the Irish" (mostly because the earliest they could face each other is in the knockout rounds), "John Terry is a racist," "Maradona" and of course the always resourceful "Booooo."

According to the Telegraph's Henry Winter, the England fans present fought back with chants of "Thierry Henry" and the "You're going down with the euro."

So when Spain arrived in Poland they got cheerleaders and a giant loaf of bread and when England arrived a day later, they got the melodic banter of the Irish. This is why you should always show up early.

Euro 2012: Uefa confirms 'isolated racist chanting' towards Dutch

Uefa has confirmed there were "isolated incidents of racist chanting" aimed at Netherlands players during an open training session for Euro 2012.

http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/_60771478_netherlandsteamtraininginkrakow.jpg

But the governing body has not revealed whether it is investigating the incident in Krakow, Poland.

Dutch captain Mark van Bommel said monkey chants were directed at players.

"Should such behaviour happen at further training sessions, Uefa would evaluate the operational measures to be taken to protect players," Uefa said.

"Uefa has now been made aware that there were some isolated incidents of racist chanting that occurred at the open training session of the Dutch team yesterday in Krakow.

"Uefa has a zero tolerance policy when it comes to discriminatory behaviour and has given the power to referees to stop matches in case of any repeated racist behaviour."

The Dutch FA said in a statement that it would not be making an official complaint but was "more than willing to answer [the] questions of Uefa in this respect".

Outlining the incident, the statement added: "As at one moment there was a lot of noise coming from a specific stand, the team decided to train at the other side of the stadium, which was much quieter.

"A few players have heard sounds, which could be described as possible monkey chants. However, the training staff on the pitch were not aware of this."

While Van Bommel complained specifically of racist abuse, the Dutch FA had earlier said this was mixed with anti-Euro 2012 chanting believed to have been prompted by the fact the city has not been given any matches in the tournament.

When this was put to Van Bommel on Thursday, he said: "Open your ears. If you did hear it and don't want to hear it, that is even worse."

The claims emerged on the opening day of the tournament, which is being co-hosted by Poland and Ukraine.

Around 20,000 fans had turned up to watch the training session at the Stadion Miejski on Wednesday.

Journalist Marcel van der Kraan, who writes for Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf, said he heard the racist abuse.

He told BBC Radio 5 live: "As the Dutch players did their warm-up, during the first lap of the pitch they could hear monkey noises from one end of the crowd.

"When the players heard this they said they would do another lap and if they heard monkey noises again they would stop.

"The Dutch coach moved all the cones and started training on the pitch as far away from these people as possible. It was considerably more than two or three people."

The day before the alleged abuse, the Netherlands players had visited Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz, which is nearby.

Van Bommel said: "It is a real disgrace, especially after getting back from Auschwitz, that you are confronted with this.

"We will take it up with Uefa and if it happens at a match we will talk to the referee and ask him to take us off the field."

Euro 1988-winning Netherlands captain Ruud Gullit confirmed that racist chanting had taken place, and rejected suggestions that it was a protest from Krakow residents unhappy that their city was not hosting any matches.

"Yes, it happened - there were some monkey chants," he told a news conference for the Uefa-backed RESPECT Diversity campaign.

"I don't think, if you are frustrated at not having the tournament in your city, you do it in this way.

"It is sad that we have to talk about this, because football is all about joy."

The BBC's Panorama programme last month raised the issue of potential racism at Euro 2012 after filming supporters in Ukraine giving Nazi salutes and taunting black players with monkey noises.

Earlier this week, Uefa president Michel Platini said the issue was one for wider society, not simply football. But he added that referees had the power to stop games if there was racist abuse from the stands.

Euro 2012: 'No plans' to investigate racist chants against Holland

• Uefa has 'no plans' to look into incident during training session
• Uefa says it has "been made aware … of racist chanting"
• Richard Williams: Uefa is an accessory to a crime

http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/145518624_crop_150x100.jpg

Uefa said it had "no plans" to launch an investigation after Holland's black players were racially abused during a Euro 2012 training session in Krakow.

The Dutch squad were subjected to monkey chants during an open training session on Wednesday, with the Holland captain Mark van Bommel branding the incident "a real disgrace".

Uefa said it was satisfied by claims the abusive chanting from the stands was actually a protest against the fact Krakow had not been made one of the host cities for Euro 2012.

Later, there was a slight shift in tone when the European governing body said it had been informed that there was racist chanting and said it would take action if there was a repeat of the abuse.

Uefa said it had "now been made aware that there were some isolated incidents of racist chanting", reiterating it had a zero tolerance policy toward racism.

Piara Powar, the executive director of Football Against Racism in Europe, said it was important that Uefa was seen to act. "Van Bommel has no reason to invent such a claim," Powar said. "We would side with Van Bommel. It's quite clear it happened.

He added: "If the captain says, 'My team-mates were racially abused, I heard it, I was there at the ground level', then one expects any FA to back the captain. We're very clear with Uefa that any incident of this kind needs to be looked at."

Robin Van Persie Criticised for Post Match Phone Call: Should Arsenal Be Worried

http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/Van-Persie-Phone.png

Feyenoord legend Willem van Hanegem has criticised Robin van Persie’s actions directly after Netherlands’ shock Euro 2012 defeat to Denmark.

The Arsenal talisman was seen making a phone call on the pitch immediately after the conclusion of Oranje’s 1-0 reverse in their tournament opener.

Van Persie endured a poor game against a disciplined Denmark side, and looked nowhere near his best.

“What kind of impression does this make?” Van Hanegem wrote in his column in Algemeen Dagblad. “You just lost a very important match where you missed a few very good chances and then the people see you calling on the side of the pitch!

“I really think this is impossible to believe and [Bert] Van Marwijk should talk to him about this.

“I don’t get why he was calling there. It’s something you shouldn’t do and I have never seen this in my life.”

SOURCE: Soccerway

One does have to wonder what was so urgent that Robin Van Persie had to take the phone call literally seconds after his Dutch side had suffered a surprise defeat to Denmark. Clearly if Holland had won then no one would have given a damn whether the Arsenal man was using his phone, hell even if he was calling to order a pizza it wouldn’t even register, however perhaps the former Feyenoord midfielder has a valid point.

Arsenal fans may well read far too much into the possible phone-call but that can not be helped.

Belanda masih berpeluang lolos asal bisa menang lawan Portugal dengan selisih diatas 2 gol & Jerman mengalahkan Denmark. secara matematis Jerman bahkan masih bisa gak lolos (Jerman kalah ama Denmark, Portugal menang lawan Belanda)
kalo feeling gw seh ntar Belanda menang lawan Portugal tp gak lolos IMO

Grup B ini unik, smua tim masih punya peluang untuk maju ke perempat final.

Walaupun mungkin di atas kertas Jerman udah pasti lolos sementara Belanda ga lolos.

tapi yaaaa, bola itu bundar ya kannn, semua nya bisa terjadi sebelum peluit akhir.

Mungkin ada sedikit pelajaran utk Belanda & Portugal di penyisihan grup ini : IMO, skill individu pemain2 bintang nya ga akan kepake klo main nya egois dan cm mau unjuk gigi sendiri alias individualis. Berlaku buat Inggris juga sih...

Jerman Belum Aman, Belanda Masih Punya Kans Lolos
Doni Wahyudi - detikSport



Kemenangan Jerman atas Belanda tak otomatis membuat Der Panzer lolos ke delapan besar dan 'Singa Oranye' terdepak. Sukses Portugal mengungguli Denmark membuat keempat tim punya kans lolos.

Usai menuntaskan matchday II malam dan dinihari tadi, Jerman berdiri mantap di puncak klasemen dengan poin enam, hasil kemenangan atas Portugal dan Belanda. Sementara Portugal ada di posisi dua dengan poin tiga.

Juga punya poin tiga adalah Denmark. 'Tim Dinamit' sesungguhnya juga punya jumlah gol dan jumlah kemasukan yang sama dengan Portugal, namun Daniel Agger cs kalah di rangking koefisien milik UEFA (kriteria nomor 6 untuk penentuan kelolosan tim).

Berada di posisi paling buncit adalah Belanda. Dua kali kalah, 'Singa Oranye' tak punya poin. Sementara selisih golnya adalah minus satu.

Dengan komposisi seperti itu, grup yang disebut-sebut sebagai grup neraka ini belum meloloskan satupun wakilnya ke perempatfinal. Selain itu, belum juga ada yang harus angkat koper lebih dini.

Meski sementara berada di posisi teratas, Jerman masih bisa terdepak. Itu akan terjadi jika mereka kalah 0-1, 1-2 atau dua gol lebih dari Denmark di pertandingan terakhir DAN Portugal menang atas Belanda.

Dengan skenario itu maka Portugal, Denmark dan Jerman akan punya poin sama (6) serta selisih gol yang juga sama (+1). Namun Jerman akan kalah dalam jumlah gol yang mereka cetak jika dibandingkan dengan yang akan dibuat Portugal dan Denmark. Sebagai catatan, saat ini Portugal, Denmark dan Jerman telah sama-sama mencetak tiga gol.

Siapa yang akan jadi pemuncak klasemen akan ditentukan oleh besarnya kemenangan Denmark dan Portugal.

Sebaliknya dengan Belanda, meski kini berada di posisi paling dasar mereka masih bisa lolos ke babak berikutnya. Namun syarat kelolosan Wesley Senijder dkk. terhitung sulit karena juga ditentukan oleh pertandingan lain.

Tiket perempatfinal akan didapat Belanda andai mereka mengalahkan Portugal dengan skor 2-0 atau lebih DAN Jerman mengalahkan Portugal dengan skor berapapun. Jika skenario itu terjadi maka Jerman jadi juara grup dengan poin sembilan sementara Belanda di posisi dua dengan poin tiga.

Tiga poin Belanda akan sama dengan Portugal dan Denmark. Namun Belanda akan unggul selisih gol atas Portugal dan Denmark.

Skenario Kelolosan Grup B

Jerman Lolos Jika
- Tidak kalah dari Denmark dengan skor 0-1 atau 1-2 atau lebih dari dua gol
- Portugal tidak mengalahkan Belanda

Portugal Lolos Jika:
- Menang atas Belanda DAN Denmark mengalahkan Jerman dengan 1-0 atau 2-1 atau paling tidak lebih dari dua gol, ATAU
- Tidak kalah atas Belanda DAN Jerman tidak kalah dari Denmark, ATAU
- Kalah satu gol atas Belanda dan Jerman menang atas Denmark.

Denmark Lolos Jika:
- Menang atas Jerman, ATAU
- Imbang dengan Jerman DAN Belanda mengalahkan Portugal.

Belanda Lolos Jika:
-Menang atas Portugal dengan selisih dua gol atau lebih DAN Jerman mengalahkan Denmark

Russia Reported To UEFA Over Colossal ‘This Is Russia’ Banner Unfurled Against Poland In Warsaw

http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/Screenshot2012-06-13at92736AM_crop_exact.png

Those as ignorant as I may have found themselves rendered aghast by the sheer scale of the massive banner unfurled by the Russian fans during last night’s game against Poland in a ‘how the hell did they get that through the turnstiles’ kind of way.

However, racism monitoring group ‘Football Against Racism in Europe’ (FARE) reckon that it was all a little more insidious under the surface and even reported the flag to UEFA before the match – alerting them to ‘far-right extremist’ sloganeering.

Indeed, the Polish press are reporting that UEFA may fine the Russian FA over banner, with suggestions that it depicts Dmitry Pozharsky – a 17th century military commander who led Russia against a Polish invasion in the early 1600s.

Russia Reported To UEFA Over Colossal ‘This Is Russia’ Banner Unfurled Against Poland In Warsaw

By Chris Wright

Those as ignorant as I may have found themselves rendered aghast by the sheer scale of the massive banner unfurled by the Russian fans during last night’s game against Poland in a ‘how the hell did they get that through the turnstiles’ kind of way.

However, racism monitoring group ‘Football Against Racism in Europe’ (FARE) reckon that it was all a little more insidious under the surface and even reported the flag to UEFA before the match – alerting them to ‘far-right extremist’ sloganeering.

Indeed, the Polish press are reporting that UEFA may fine the Russian FA over banner, with suggestions that it depicts Dmitry Pozharsky – a 17th century military commander who led Russia against a Polish invasion in the early 1600s.

UEFA have since confirmed that they are to launch an investigation into the banner, though it’s at the back of an ever-lengthening queue; behind the monkey chants aimed at Dutch players, Mario Balotelli and Czech right-back Theo Gebre Selassie and the 183 arrests made after Russian fans brawled with Polish fans after the game in Warsaw last night.

That's pants! Bendtner faces UEFA action after celebration in Portugal defeat


http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2012/06/13/article-0-139816B8000005DC-281_306x423.jpg

Nicklas Bendtner could be facing UEFA action over ambush marketing after revealing a pair of bookmaker-branded underpants when he scored in Wednesday's 3-2 defeat to Portugal.

Bendtner, who got both goals as Denmark came from 2-0 down to level the match before conceding a late winner, revealed branding from Irish bookmaker Paddy Power during celebrations of the equaliser.

The move was part of an orchestrated marking campaign, with the bookmaker issuing a statement congratulating the Arsenal forward.

Ken Robertson from Paddy Power said: 'I'm truly delighted for Nicklas, what a stunning performance tonight.

'I've no doubt that the luck of the Irish thanks to our lucky underpants helped him find the back of the net twice!'

However, UEFA are unlikely to react with the same enthusiasm as Bendtner's actions would appear to be a clear violation of their rules on ambush marketing.

UEFA regulations ban any advertising on players' kits during the tournament.

Italy v Croatia preview
Azzurri looking to bring Bilic's boys back down to earth


http://img.skysports.com/12/06/218x298/Republic-of-Ireland-v-Croatia-Slaven-Bilic_2778946.jpg

Group C remains wide open following the opening round of fixtures, but an opening success has Croatia setting their sights on the quarter-finals.

Slaven Bilic's side made the perfect start to their Euro 2012 campaign on Sunday as they swept past the Republic of Ireland 3-1.

That results means Croatia, who made the knockout stage in 2008, know victory over Italy would see them progress out of a strong group.

They are, however, aware that their next two games pitch them against the World Cup winners from 2006 and 2010 - starting with Italy on Thursday.

"For me Italy is - they're not better than Spain, right - but you can't analyse them, they play with more options," said Croatia coach Slaven Bilic.

"You know how Spain are going to play but Italy are so unpredictable. They can pass the ball. They can play the short balls. They can play through the middle. They can play counter attack, with long ball from (Andrea) Pirlo to the strikers. They can play down the flanks. They are for me one of the biggest favourites in this tournament."

Match points

National skipper Darijo Srna, who is setting his sights on the last eight, added: "We will try to keep our feet on the ground, we don't want to raise expectations now, but we are well aware of what is ahead of us. We now have two 'match points' and I hope we can take one."

Italy are determined to ensure that Croatia leave Poznan empty-handed.

The Azzurri's mixed pre-tournament form made it difficult to predict what they would bring to Euro 2012, but their opening display suggests they remain a force to be reckoned with.

They held reigning European and world champions Spain to a 1-1 draw, after taking the lead, and will feel that they are capable of taking maximum points off Croatia and Ireland - despite the Croats currently sitting four places above them in FIFA's world rankings.

Coach Cesare Prandelli is taking nothing for granted though, saying: "It's going to be the decisive match of the group.

"I've been saying for a while that Croatia is the most dangerous squad because it's the most unpredictable one. They change the way they play all the time, sometimes even from one half to another."

Team News

Having seen Croatia impress against the Irish, Bilic is expected to stick with the same starting XI.

That means Tottenham playmaker Luka Modric will continue to pull the strings in midfield and Nikica Jelavic and Mario Mandzukic will provide the attacking firepower - with both men having opened their tournament goal accounts against Ireland.

Antonio Cassano is tipped to retain his place in Prandelli's starting XI, but Mario Balotelli may drop to the bench.

The Manchester City striker started against Spain, but was withdrawn in the second half and saw his replacement, Antonio Di Natale, break the deadlock.

Spain v Republic of Ireland preview
Both teams looking for first win, defeat would send Irish out


http://img.skysports.com/12/06/496x259/GiovanniTrapattoni_2779055.jpg

The Republic of Ireland are preparing to face Spain in Gdansk on Thursday knowing a defeat would send them tumbling out of Euro 2012.

The 3-1 defeat to Croatia in Poznan on Sunday was a bitter blow to Irish hopes as that arguably represented their best chance of claiming three points in Group C, given Italy lurk after Spain in their final group match.

Manager Giovanni Trapattoni is under pressure to make changes to his starting line-up following Sunday's defeat, their first in 14 matches.

The 73-year-old is unlikely to make any dramatic alternations to his side though, choosing instead to stick to his tried and trusted players.

With just two wins from 14 previous games against La Roja - who in turn are unbeaten in their last 15 competitive matches - Ireland go into the game as huge underdogs.

However, striker Robbie Keane remains confident that his side can spring a surprise against the world and European champions, despite the intimidating odds.

"We know it's going to be a tough task on Thursday," said the LA Galaxy striker. "After all, they are one of the best teams in the world but there's no reason why we can't get something out of the game.

"In any case it's very difficult as a player to go into a game thinking you just want a point. But it wouldn't be the end of the world if we did."

Strikers

Over in the Spain camp, midfielder Sergio Busquets has defended coach Vicente del Bosque's decision to play without any recognised strikers in their 1-1 draw against Italy on Sunday.

Despite having Alvaro Negredo, Fernando Torres and Fernando Llorente at his disposal, del Bosque opted to play with six midfielders, giving the likes of David Silva and Cesc Fabregas licence to roam forward.

It was one of those forward runs that led to the equaliser against the Azzurri, Barcelona midfielder Fabregas slotting home from Silva's pinpoint pass.

Del Bosque has hinted that he may stick with the formation against the Irish, with Busquets fully behind his manager's decision.

"The centre of our midfield isn't overcrowded," insisted the 23-year-old. "it's based on having players with a good touch in the centre of the field and seeking to gain an advantage like that.

"Moreover, Spain have been playing that way for four years.

"I think there is a lack of patience shown when Spanish international football is being analysed. That wasn't just anyone we drew against - it was a very strong Italy side.

"But if we don't win, there always seems to be a 'but' from somebody or other. It's precisely what happened in the World Cup."

Team news

Trapattoni is unlikely to promote Sunderland winger James McClean to the starting line-up, despite a clamour from the fans for his inclusion.

Strikers Jonathan Walters and Simon Cox are pushing for a recall though after impressive displays from the bench on Sunday.

Midfielder Darron Gibson is also in contention after recovering from a thigh injury. Richard Dunne is ok to play after sitting out training on Tuesday with blistered feet.

Spain coach Vicente del Bosque looks likely to stick with his controversial 4-6-0 formation, with Xavi, Andres Iniesta, David Silva and Cesc Fabregas taking turns to push on beyond the midfield.

Nicklas Bendtner celebrated goal against Portugal with underpants ad for bookmaker

http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/146299278.jpg

Nicklas Bendtner scored twice for Denmark before it ultimately lost 3-2 to Portugal in its second Group B match at Euro 2012. This was an impressive performance that was only surprising to everyone but Nicklas Bendtner, who has been championing Nicklas Bendtner for years, and one that brought his total to six goals in five matches against Portugal.

So what did Bendtner do to celebrate this confidence-affirming moment in football's second-biggest tournament? He did some advertising for a bookmaker with his underwear.

Yes, after scoring his second goal to bring Denmark back once again in the 80th minute, Bendtner lifted up his shirt and pulled down his shorts to reveal a pair of green underwear with the name of an Irish bookmaker on the waistband. According to The Mirror, this is likely to get Bendtner in trouble with tournament organizers and efficient money vacuum UEFA as it is a violation of their stringent rules on guerrilla marketing (read: if UEFA can't profit from it, no one can). UEFA requires that "all kit items worn during the final tournament must be free of any sponsor advertising."

http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/Split.jpg

The 24-year-old striker was previously known for a drunken incident outside a London nightclub where his pants fell down as he was escorted to his car, allowing paparazzi a view of his decidedly less lucky (and profitable) underwear. More recently, he demanded people give him free pizza on a night out back home in Denmark.

UPDATE: Bendtner has been reprimanded by the Danish federation for breaching their exclusive apparel deal by wearing the bookie boxers, though he says this wasn't an intentional marketing stunt. "It is just a pair of lucky boxer shorts that I used in the first game as well and have used before the tournament. I didn't know that I was breaking any rules but I am aware of that now," he told The Mirror. But in that case he's the one missing out. That kind of advertising during a major sporting event seen around the world shouldn't come cheap.

Sweden v England preview
Welbeck targets goals; Hamren wants improvements from his side


http://img.skysports.com/12/06/496x259/Erik-Hamren-Sweden-training_2780678.jpg

England take on Sweden in a crucial encounter in Kiev as both teams chase their first win in Group D.

Roy Hodgson's Three Lions earned a creditable 1-1 draw in their opener against France, but the Swedes slipped to a 2-1 defeat by co-hosts Ukraine.

Hodgson is expecting a tough examination of his side in the Olympic Stadium but will not be looking to radically revamp his side.

"There won't be wholesale changes, that's for certain because we don't have any injury problems and the players who did well against France are all hoping to get picked to play again," he said.

Striker Danny Welbeck started against France and he is targeting goals, as he said: "You'll see a much more determined England side.

Get forward

"We'd have liked a win to start with, but we want to get forward and get more goals.

"We have to get more bodies into our attacking third and create more opportunities. When they arrive, the strikers will be ready to put them in."

Sweden coach Erik Hamren is expecting more from his side following their opening defeat at the Olympic Stadium.

He said: "We're not reaching the level we want to and that's my responsibility as a coach.

"We didn't show the courage we were supposed to. Only five or six players did. We all need all the players doing that.

"We were cowards in the first half and should have done more. I'm not happy with the team, I was expecting more."

Team news

Skipper Steven Gerrard and Scott Parker are set to continue in England's midfield after recovering from the clash with France, while Glen Johnson remains on antibiotics for a toe infection.

But the Three Lions will be without star striker Wayne Rooney, who serves the final game of his two-match suspension following his dismissal in Montenegro last October.

Liverpool's Martin Kelly is likely to be their only other absentee as he struggles to recover from a virus.

For Sweden, striker Johan Elmander recovered from a fractured metatarsal to feature as a second-half substitute in the defeat to Ukraine and coach Hamren could be tempted to start the former Bolton star as he searches for a win.

West Brom defender Jonas Olsson is expected to be recalled at centre-back, with Andreas Granqvist switched to right-back.

Ukraine v France preview
Co-hosts stand on brink of qualification


http://img.skysports.com/12/06/496x259/Andriy-Shevchenko-Celebrates-his-second-goal-_2779499.jpg

A victory for Ukraine against France in Donetsk on Friday will secure the co-hosts a surprise place in the Euro 2012 quarter-finals.

Euphoria was the word on everyone's lips in Ukraine on Monday when Andriy Shevchenko - the golden boy of Ukrainian football - scored two goals against Sweden in Kiev to seal a 2-1 win that sent them top of Group D.

The sense of excitement was palpable and fuelled a growing belief that they can make it through to the knockout stages.

The result certainly altered the aspect of Group D, with the prospect of the two group favourites, France and England, missing out on the quarter-finals now a very real one.

A first win against France on Friday will ensure Ukraine's spot in the next round, leaving England, Sweden and the French to battle it out for the other qualification place.

However, in a very obvious bid to drag his players - and the country - down to earth, coach Oleh Blokhin is keen for everyone to regain a sense of perspective ahead of Friday's match.

After all, they are playing a France side who are unbeaten in 22 games and thumped Ukraine 4-1 in their last meeting in 2011.

Down the drain

"It's too early for euphoria! We've just won one match, and if we lose both our following games, we might as well wash that first win down the drain," warned the 59-year-old.

"I had a serious discussion with the players after [the match against] Sweden."

Meanwhile, France coach Laurent Blanc admits he was left frustrated after the 1-1 draw with England on Monday.

His side dominated possession and had the greater number of chances, but could not find their way past a stubborn Three Lions rear-guard.

He also admits the win for Ukraine has galvanised the host country and that could make things even tougher for Les Bleus.

"The country is in a state of euphoria," he said of the co-hosts. "The people will be behind the team more than ever now.

"It's going to be a hard game, there's no doubt about it, but we will prepare ourselves in the same way we have planned."

Team news

Coach Blokhin could opt to field a slightly more defensive line-up than the one that beat Sweden in Kiev on Monday, with Ruslan Rotan a contender to come in and bolster the midfield.

However, that would mean one of strikers Andriy Shevchenko or Andriy Voronin - both very impressive on Monday - dropping to the bench.

Shevchenko, at 35, would be the logical choice to take a rest, but following his heroics against Sweden it is unlikely he will be dropped.

For France, Rennes midfielder Yann M'Vila has fully recovered from an ankle injury and could come in at the expense of Alou Diarra.

That is expected to be the only change made by coach Blanc, though Hatem Ben Arfa and Marvin Martin and Olivier Giroud remain options from the bench.

Poland's fast-track trials in progress

http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/Screenshot2012-06-15at92723AM_crop_exact-1.png

WARSAW, Poland -- Nearly two dozen hooligans have been convicted in fast-track trials for their roles in violent clashes when Poland and Russia faced off in an emotionally charged European Championship match earlier this week, court officials said Thursday.

The trials in connection with Tuesday's disturbances are meant to show that Poland is serious about its policy of zero tolerance for violence as it co-hosts Euro 2012 with Ukraine.

Fast-track trials are not unique to Poland. They have become common practices at other major tournaments such as the World Cup. In preparation for Euro 2012, Poland changed parts of its criminal code to make the quick trials possible.

Seven Poles were convicted Wednesday and 16 others Thursday, Warsaw district court officials said. The 23 were found guilty of assaulting police officers and "taking part in illegal gatherings." Street gatherings are considered illegal when participants join them with an obvious intent to be violent and when they seek no official permission.

Sentences range from three to 12 months in prison, but many of them are suspended sentences or subject to appeal. Three men were given prison terms of two, three and five months, according to Wojciech Malek, spokesman for a Warsaw district court.

One man was fined $870 for assaulting a policeman, Warsaw district court official Marcin Lochowski said.

Sports minister Joanna Mucha said the punishments should be harsher, but that the government had no influence over the justice system.

Further fast-track trials for dozens more are expected in the coming days. Police detained 184 people for taking part in the clashes. Some broke out before the match when thousands of Russian soccer fans marched to National Stadium waving Russian flags and chanting "Russia, Russia."

The mass expression of Russian patriotism in Warsaw's capital was provocative to some Poles, who still deeply resent Moscow's imposition of communism here during the Cold War. Some of the fighting was sparked by Polish hooligans who attacked Russians.

Separately, a group of young Poles also attacked police during the match with bottles and stones, prompting officers to respond with rubber bullets and tear gas. Three dozen people were injured in the violence -- 19 civilians and 17 police officers.

Police detained 156 Poles, 25 Russians, a Spaniard, a Hungarian and an Algerian for the fighting around the game between Poland and Russia, which ended in a 1-1 tie.

On Wednesday, Poland's interior minister said the Russians would face trials aimed at expelling them from the country and lifting their European Union visas for five years.

There was no violence at the stadium or in the downtown fan zone.

Poland Prime Minister Donald Tusk spoke to Russian President Vladimir Putin by phone Wednesday evening and expressed his view "that bad stadium emotions should not influence the good relations between the two countries and their citizens," Tusk's
website said in a statement.

It added that the two leaders agreed that hooligans should be prosecuted irrespective of their nationality.

Euro 2012: Sweden Fan Forced To Get Beers In After Losing Bet With Ukraine Prime Minister Mykola Azarov

http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/Screenshot2012-06-15at91910AM_crop_exact.png

fter waging a round of beer on his country beating Ukraine in their opening Euro 2012 game, Sweden fan Ola Sjostedt (who is head of the Sweden Supporters Club) had to make his way to the government offices in Kiev to settle his boozy debts. Why? Because he didn’t just make this bet with any old Tom, Dick and/or Harry – no, no. He made it with Mykola Azarov, the Ukrainian prime minister.

During a visit to the fan park in the capital, Azarov and Sjostedt made the bet on camera, with the loser agreeing to buy the winner a beer depending on the outcome of the game on Monday night. Shevchenko did the business, so Sjostedt was forced to make the trip to Azarov’s offices with a six-pack under his arm.

The pair were then photographed, with Azarov decked out in a Sweden scarf, clinking glasses and supping on the spoils. All well and good you’d assume? Wrong (shamelessly copy-and-pasted from The Guardian):

“With political infighting in Ukraine running at a high pitch, the opposition was quick to pounce. The leading opposition deputy, Mykola Tomenko, in a statement on an opposition party website, reminded the 64-year-old Azarov that drinking alcohol – even weak alcohol – was strictly prohibited on official premises.

“‘It is shameful and inadmissible when the leaders of the country contradict the law and the principles of defending morality by beginning to publicise consumption of strong drink during working hours and on state premises,’ said Tomenko.”

Tomenko then called on the Kiev Police to see that Azarov paid his fine of 85 hryvnias (about £6.50), which is the standard punishment for an ‘administrative offence’. Leave it to politicians to suck any morsel of humour from even the simplest act of goodwill. Boo!

Not that it’s deterred Azarov in the slightest: He’s now challenged any willing France fans to a similar wager, this time putting a bottle of his finest Cognac on the line!

Poland coach steps down
Smuda walks away after Euro 2012 exit

http://e2.365dm.com/12/06/660x350/smuda_2779968.jpg

Poland coach Franciszek Smuda has stepped down from his post after the Euro 2012 co-hosts were eliminated following a 1-0 defeat by the Czech Republic.

Poland went into the game knowing only a victory would see them through to the quarter-finals following draws with Greece and Russia in their opening two Group A matches.

But despite the passionate support in Wroclaw, Smuda's side were unable to make the breakthrough when on top in the first half and fell away after the break, with Petr Jiracek scoring the only goal of the game in the 72nd minute.

"This is 100 per cent the end of the road. My contract runs out at the end of Euro 2012. Thanks guys," Smuda told Poland's public TVP broadcaster in an emotional interview.

"We did our best. Unfortunately, we had a lot of missed passes. In the second period, we had to fight non-stop to get the ball back," added Smuda,

The 63-year-old took charge of Poland in October 2009 and the country must now begin the process of appointing a new manager.

Denmark v Germany preview
Danes hoping to cause an upset in Lviv


http://img.skysports.com/12/06/496x259/Low_2778591.jpg

With there still all to play for in Group B, Denmark and Germany head into the final round of fixtures looking for a win to carry them into the quarter-finals.

Germany are all but assured of a place in the last eight, with two impressive performances seeing them to back-to-back victories and the top of the group.

They require just a point to confirm their progress to the knockout stage, but they will be looking for three after establishing early momentum.

Joachim Low's side are much-fancied to go all of the way at Euro 2012 and a 2-1 victory over Holland in their last outing suggests they may be difficult to stop.

Germany must decide whether to stick with their tried and tested against Denmark, or shuffle their pack and offer game time to those on the fringes of their first-team plans.

They will have to make one enforced change, with Benedikt Howedes and Lars Bender in contention to replace the suspended Jerome Boateng.

"I know and we all know that this game is going to be incredibly difficult and I am not going to just rest players - you don't rest players in a game in which there so much at stake," Low said.

Ambitious
"If I do decide to take somebody out or bring somebody in, then I do it for one reason and that is that the player coming in is better suited for our style of play.

"I will definitely not be taking anybody out to give them a rest for future games.

"If I do change anything, then it will be because I am convinced it is for the good of the team.

"We have a great bench and, if we go through, then we are going to need the players, as we always have done.

"I can see ambitious players who want to play. I would not read too much into them being unhappy not to be playing - I would be more concerned if they were happy with the situation."

Germany will need no reminding that their recent record against Denmark is not the best - with their first meeting seeing the Danes claim a shock European Championship success back in 1992.

Hopeful
Denmark are unbeaten in the last three encounters between the two nations, with coach Morten Olsen having overseen two wins and a draw.

He is, however, aware that his side face a tough task if they are to claim a notable scalp and make their way into the last eight.

"We go into the game hopeful of going through and it can't get more exciting than this," he said.

"Nothing is impossible and we will be going out to win.

"We have experienced both ends of the emotional spectrum in recent weeks - one euphoric and one downbeat. We are keen to experience the first one again."

Dennis Rommedahl is unavailable for Denmark due to injury, while Niki Zimling is also a doubt and will face a late fitness test.

Olsen will not reveal who is in line to step in as replacements, saying: "I have 23 players in the squad and it depends on who we feel is right for this game.

"There are pros and cons to every decision. No player is perfect, it is about finding the perfect blend of players."

Portugal v Holland preview
Dutch out to avoid early elimination in Kharkiv

http://img.skysports.com/12/06/496x259/Bert-van-Marwijk-Netherlands_2775008.jpgbert van marwijk

Portugal will be hoping to make Holland the first high-profile casualty of Euro 2012 when they meet in the final round of fixtures in Group B.

Sunday will see the so-called Group of Death put the final nails into the respective coffins of two disappointed nations.

There is every chance that Holland will see their European Championship adventure brought to an abrupt halt, with back-to-back defeats leaving them at the foot of the group and requiring something special.

They were considered to be among the pre-tournament favourites to go all the way, but know anything less than victory over Portugal will see them heading home.

Portugal enjoy a more favourable standing, but they too have little margin for error.

They cannot afford to rely on results elsewhere, with there no guarantee that table-topping Germany will see off Denmark.

Battling
A win would see the Portuguese safely through to the quarter-finals, so that is what they will be looking for.

They displayed commendable battling qualities to snatch a late winner in their last outing against Denmark, having seen a two-goal lead slip, and will feel that there is still more to come from their big hitters - in particular, Cristiano Ronaldo.

Portugal coach Paulo Bento said: "We know what Holland's strategy will be from the start. You see it with all Dutch teams. They like to have the ball and control the game.

"But this doesn't mean we have to rely on counter-attacks. We have to try to control the game, not only in terms of our defending but also by having possession of the ball and looking for shots at goal.

"We want to win the game and take the three points, and then we'll see what happens."

His Dutch counterpart Bert van Marwijk is clinging to the belief that his side can still progress, and is ready to go for broke this weekend.

Patient
He told UEFA's official website: "We think Germany will beat Denmark and so we have to win against Portugal.

"History tells us they are not the easiest opponents for us so we need to be patient. But we also have to play in a way in which enables us to score, and I'm convinced that if we score once, we will get a second."

Van Marwijk has a fully fit squad from which to select, with all 23 players having taken part in a closed training session on Friday evening.

He has, however, admitted that - following two defeats - changes are on the cards and the likes of Klass-Jan Huntelaar and Rafael van der Vaart will be hoping to earn starting berths.

Portugal are also at full strength, with reserve defender Miguel Lopes returning to training on Friday after shaking off a cold.

Bento named the same starting XI against Germany and Denmark and is unlikely to shuffle his pack for a crucial encounter in Kharkiv.

Nicklas Bendtner fined €100,000 for sponsored underwear, stiffer than UEFA’s racism fines

http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/146299278.jpg

Denmark's Nicklas Bendtner has been punished harshly for revealing a pair of bookmaker-sponsored underpants after scoring his second goal against Portugal in a Euro 2012 Group B match last week, with governing body UEFA giving him a €100,000 ($125,797) fine and suspension for one World Cup qualifier after being found guilty of improper conduct.

From UEFA.com:

Following the opening of disciplinary proceedings concerning the improper conduct of Denmark's Nicklas Bendtner at the UEFA EURO 2012 Group B match against Portugal in Lviv on Wednesday 13 June, the UEFA Control and Disciplinary Body has decided to suspend the player for one competitive fixture.

This suspension applies to the next 2014 FIFA World Cup match, including the qualifying competition, for which Bendtner is eligible. The player has also been fined €100,000. An appeal can be lodged against this decision within three days of the dispatch of the full written decision.

Bendtner claimed after the incident that he didn't know he was breaking UEFA's strict rules against unapproved sponsor advertising on kits, saying "It is just a pair of lucky boxer shorts that I used in the first game as well and have used before the tournament. I didn't know I was breaking any rules but I am aware of that now." But this is obviously false because any underpants that get you a €100,000 fine and one-match ban are clearly not at all lucky.

In addition to UEFA's punishment, Bendtner was also reprimanded by his country's federation and ordered not to wear the illegal underpants for their final match against Germany.

With this fine, UEFA shows yet again just how important sponsor considerations are to the organization. After all, the Croatian federation was fined just €25,000 ($31,449) for fans throwing fireworks and missiles and invading the pitch during their match against Ireland. Russia was given a €120,000 ($150,945) fine for stadium violence that included vicious attacks on stewards after their match against the Czech Republic.

Meanwhile, all investigations into racist incidents at Euro 2012 conveniently remain unresolved. But in 2008, Croatia received a piddly €12,000 ($15,094) fine for racist conduct during a Euro quarterfinal against Turkey, showing just how skewed UEFA' priorities are, despite their pandering claims to the contrary.

UPDATE: Croatia's federation has now been fined €80,000 ($101,500) for fans' racist chants, throwing flares and throwing a banana at black players during their match against Italy last week. The fact that all of those offenses are punished significantly less than underpants advertising really tells you all you need to know about UEFA.

UPDATE II: The Irish bookmaker has agreed to pay Bendtner's fine after being "inundated with messages via their social media channels suggesting they pick up the tab."

After coming off the bench to score an inspiring goal against Ireland, Mario Balotelli is doing his best to keep the mood light during Italy's training sessions ahead of their quarterfinal match against England. With dong jokes.

According to Telegraph football writer Paul Hayward, the Italian team incorporated yoga into their training on Wednesday and Mario incorporated a strategically placed corner flag into that.

Of course, this being Mario, the session was not without its cruel attack from an inanimate object. Previously, Balotelli has endured a mighty struggle against a substitutes bib and a Christmas cake, but now even the yoga mats have turned against him...

Body identified as Irish fan

BYDGOSZCZ, Poland -- A body found floating in a Polish canal has been identified by a family member as that of an Irish soccer fan who came to the country for the European Championship, an official said.

Deputy chief prosecutor Wlodzimierz Marszalkowski told The Associated Press on Wednesday that the family member confirmed the identity of the body as James Nolan, who went missing early Sunday in the northern city of Bydgoszcz. He would not identify the family member, but said it was a close relation.

Documents in Nolan's name were found on the corpse. Marszalkowski said an autopsy would be held on Thursday to establish cause of death.

James Nolan, 21, of Blessington, County Wicklow, disappeared early Sunday in the northern city of Bydgoszcz, sparking a huge search effort in the city. Police divers found a body early Wednesday and authorities were awaiting the arrival of Nolan's father, Jimmy, and other family members later to make a formal identification.

The body was found lying face down in fast-flowing water of the Bydgoszcz Canal and trapped by a weir that runs across it. The canal is an offshoot of the city's Brda River, and brings water for a small hydroelectric plant.

No signs of violence were apparent, Marszalkowski said. Robbery didn't appear to be the motive since 600 zlotys ($200) and a credit card were found on the corpse, he said. An autopsy was planned for Thursday.

Prosecutor Wlodzimierz Marszalkowski said Thursday there is "no other hypothesis than an accident. There are no doubts, no circumstances to suggest otherwise."

The clothing on the body matched a description given by friends of what Nolan was wearing when he went missing, Marszalkowski said.

Police and firefighters, some in boats and others with dogs, had been searching along the river, canal and adjacent waste ground Tuesday and again on Wednesday. Moments before the body was found, two divers in an inflatable dinghy were seen speeding toward the site. A police cordon was quickly set up around the area, which is near a museum and a church.

In a sign of mourning, someone later placed two white candles near the place where the body was found.

Nolan was in Poland for Euro 2012 to follow Ireland, which has now been eliminated from the soccer tournament. He had been traveling with friends in a rented camper van, but was also registered at a hotel on the city's outskirts.

He was last seen visiting local bars after watching televised games in a fan zone Saturday night.

Two of Nolan's travel companions, 22-year-old Aidan Willoughby and 24-year-old Adam Cullen, described him as a "smiley, outgoing person with a very witty sense of humor" and known by the nickname "Jam."

Their group of seven arrived in Bydgoszcz on Saturday to meet with other Irish friends. They watched the Poland-Czech game in town and then went into a market square pub around midnight.

"There we enjoyed drinks with the locals, who had been extremely friendly all night," Nolan's friends said in a statement.

"Around 2 a.m., a member of the group (not James) was involved in a minor altercation with a small group of local men sitting in the bar," the statement said. "The minor altercation ended in a matter of seconds and all involved and the rest of our group remained in the pub. Shortly afterwards, we decided to leave the bar as a number of the group wanted to go home and others went to find a nightclub.

"It appears that Jam left the group or pub alone prior to this. When Jam failed to return to the hotel by late morning and was not contactable, we became extremely concerned and members of the group contacted local police at 2:30 p.m. Others drove and walked around the city area looking for him and contacted hospitals."

Ukraine's Andriy Shevchenko announces international retirement

Andriy Shevchenko has announced he will retire from international football following Ukraine's group stage elimination from Euro 2012.

http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/146564135_crop_exact.jpg

The 35-year-old striker won his 111th cap for his country on Tuesday, coming on as a substitute in his side's 1-0 defeat by England.

Shevchenko captained his country to the World Cup quarter-finals in 2006 and won the Ballon d'Or in 2004.

He plans a specially arranged friendly before exiting the international stage.

Shevchenko has been his country's talisman for over a decade, with a national record 48 goals. He scored his first international strike in a friendly against Turkey in 1996, and his last two came in Ukraine's 2-1 victory over Sweden in the co-hosts' first game of this tournament.

At club level he won the Champions League with AC Milan in 2003 - scoring the winning penalty in the shoot-out - and has collected silverware in Italy and England as well as his native country.

As a 29-year-old Shevchenko signed for Jose Mourinho's Chelsea for £30m in May 2006, but spent a largely unproductive two-season spell in the Premier League before returning to Milan.

Shevchenko's contract with current side Dynamo Kiev expires next month and a move to Major League Soccer in the United States in rumoured. The striker confirmed that he hopes to arrange a final, 112th appearance for his country in the coming weeks.

"I just want to play one more game to say goodbye, just for my family and friends and all the fans who have supported me for many, many years.

"For everyone the time [to retire from football] comes."

Shevchenko said Ukraine deserved better than their elimination at England's hands, especially after Marko Devic's effort was hooked out of the goal by England defender John Terry after the ball appeared to have crossed the line.

"We deserved more today," he told BBC Sport. "We played well, created chances and of course scored a goal.

"It's difficult for us. We're out of the competition. That's the reality.

"[Scoring a goal] would have made a big difference. If we score we're buzzing and we'll maybe win a game. The referee was there, very close."

Shevchenko predicted that England could now go on to enjoy a successful Euro 2012 campaign.

"I congratulate England," he said. "Now England play against Italy after passing through a difficult group.

"I think England can reach the final, why not?"
