Podolski · 02-12-2007, 12:21 PM

Greece, Russia, Spain, Sweden.
Vote in poll.

Spain to win the group and Guus to surprise people again (most people will see Russia as the weakest team in this group, quality wise)

Agreed. Hiddink took Korea to fourth place and Australia to the last 16 in the WC, hell do well again.

Spain has to much quality not to go through.

Spain and Sweden for me. Spain will probably top the group and Sweden have a strong team. Ibrahimovic wins games on his own

Robinho4Ever · 02-12-2007, 12:33 PM

It isn't an easy group for Spain as it seems . .

But I voted: Spain and Sweden.

The football Greece used 3.5 years ago, won't help them this Euro.

**Vargas_4** · 02-12-2007, 01:01 PM

Russia & Spain go through.

Russia has shown that it is capable of playing good football and being a threat. Hiddink is a good coach and will lead them to some success.

I voted for Spain cause they are the best team in paper. But i have my serious doubts about them. They always have an eternal inner conflict, the coaches with the players or whatever, making them drop points. They might not even qualify (IMO) but they might luck out and 2nd slot.

Sweden are a good side but the results that they'll get against Russia & Spain won't be enough.

Greece, they will try hard but will not succeed.

Spain, because I support them in this euro.
Russia, because Guus Hiddink is a winner.

Sweden's chances depend in wether zlatan finds his form in the NT or not.

and I feel greece will lose to spain and sweden. ^^

Spain have torres, villa, fabregas, ramos, puyol.. and i missing out lots of great players.. they will go throughjust because of this.. but not much further. if they can sort out their problems I think they are one of the best national side in the world

Spain and Greece .

If they sort out their problems...

I'm not saying Spain are a bad side. I'm just saying that due the drama that involves the national team on a regular basis might affect the team. I know they have great players as you mentioned them above & others that aren't there... It is because of this players that they might scratch the 2nd slot, if drama occurs during the competition.

**Jager** · 02-12-2007, 03:07 PM

I picked Spain, but it wouldn't surpise me if they missed. They never impress me.

I will say this. Sweden is the wild card. If Ibra is on, he could get them through by himself.

PAOK_4 · 02-12-2007, 03:15 PM

Hahaha! We're being written off again! Even better! Everyone thinks that we play the same football we played in 2004! I am very happy with this group and expect Greece to get through. Spain is the obvious pick of this group, though.

**Dellas** · 02-12-2007, 03:19 PM

Greece and Spain....roughly like our group last time and we came second in that....I see us doing it again.

shame tho that whoever qualifies from this will need to play the best 2 from the "group of Death"

**D-Kin** · 02-12-2007, 03:26 PM

Even with Zlatan I don't think Sweden will have enough.

Spain and Russia for me.

**Jager** · 02-12-2007, 03:28 PM

Nobody is righting Greece off, however in the time since they won and now. They have not lit the world on fire, and just because they had one great tournament, doesn't mean they will win again.

If anything, they will not be taken lightly, and it will be much harder.....MUCH harder.

The last time out, many big nations faltered, I don't think that will happen. Maybe its you people who underestimate Sweden.

They have the best player in the group as I write this.

Ibra rules, and as I said, if he is on, you will all suffer.
