Spain Germany or Holland.

[st4ffeh]

1 Germany
2 Holland
3 Who cares!

:]

Being Swedish, ofc I will cheer for sweden, but I have always always always cheered for Germany, and if Germany gets out (and is not playing) its Holland for me :]

I hope germany wins

germany played pretty bad in their last games though. not very optimistic right now..

So did the Netherlands....

I think Germany is favourite to win Euro 2012. They've got a team with young and some increadibly dynamic players (e.g. Özil).

I hope holland. My dad claimed he would commit suicide if Germany would beat Holland again in the last minute of the final lol, and I like my dad so well... u get the point.

In my opinion you need this extra thing to win a championship like this. You don't only have to be really good, you also have to be a bit lucky. I always like to take Greece in 2004 as an example: Back then everything they did worked out and thats how you win an european championship. Hard to call who will have this luck this time around, but based on skill I'd say:
1. Germany (even though they've been playing a bit sloppy lately, I think that they've played brilliantly in the last 2 years)
2. Holland (though I'd prefer them to end up as third)
3. Spain (the team is pretty crippled with not having Puyol and Villa, and I also heard sth about the 2 central defenders having some problems with eachother or sth)

Remember that was not a full strengh team.

well if you compare the games they played this year to the ones of the last couple of years, its just not as good right now.  they didnt perform as well in ever possible position.
but well even if it looks bad before, they often managed to get into the semi finals or even the finals.
a secret favourite for me is france right now, they havent lost in like 20 games in row and their players seem to be in a good shape right now.
but will see how it turns out, anything can happen.

i'm with jerome, germany, holland or spain will win it. the friendly exhibition match against switzerland shouldn't count for much

[Sporting_Lisbon]

Portugal gets a lucky streak and wins it.

[jerom]

Well anything can happen honestly. I heard france has been playing quite well recently (18 win streak or something) so maybe thats one of the underdogs that can actually do really well.

France is never an underdog bro.

go go holland!
Im always cheering for holland in football.

[Soccerman771]

Well, it starts today and ends 2 days before my b-day.  I'm going for Germany to win it all.  I think they have the best mid-field in the tourney and a solid group of defenders.

I know this though.  After this tourney, the US will continue to have won this as many times as England has.
