I agree. Germany and Denmark are a cut above the other 2.

Netherland's best CB is Johnny F***** Heitinga after all.

Where were you for last month. Seeding gets screwed up because of 2 hosts (weak teams at that) being seeded. In pot 1, only Spain and Netherlands made it. Previous winners also had silly seedings (Portugal in pot 3 and France in pot 4)

Hoping Germany and Portugal make it through.

Yeh strangely enough they actually do. They just base it on paper.

That is because bookmakers are based in the UK, where many people will say England will win (national pride and all), therefore skews the odds lower...

Group of DEATH

Russia 18/1, Denmark 100/1

For this group, unless there's a significant change to the squads the sides can bring due to injuries:

1. Germany
2/3. Denmark/Netherlands
4. Portugal

Denmark actually has a very good chance to finish 2nd. I can see them beating Portugal and drawing against Holland. For Portugal to go through, this time no excuses, Ronaldo HAS TO TURN UP.

by dostoevsky Sat 03 Dec 2011, 05:58

Denmark are like Napoli in my eyes, they're definitely capable of benefitting from the clashes of the Netherlands, Germany and Portugal against each other and the more I think about it, the more I'm inclined to favour Denmark sneaking through in second. I favour the Portuguese to scupper the Dutch's chances, the points for second will be very, very close.
