EURO 2012

[Kicker]

OMG, just realized that. Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Anyway, congratulations !!!!

Please kick them out, I don't want to loose against Spain for the 3rd time in a row (or maybe we can finally have the revenge)

It would be a dreadful game for England and France, either way. Spain has a dangerous attack but Italy defends like a rock.

(I'm troubled though, as Italy is my team of the heart, and I don't know who I'll support in the next match.....)

Ibra's goal was a thing of sheer class. I love that man to bits.

Good. Now I can see Italy kick England's ass.

Sweden 2 - 0 France

The final whistle is blown. Andrew Haslam, Olympic Stadium: Erik Hamrén's team bow out of UEFA EURO 2012 with a display full of commitment, endeavour and no little skill. France, however, have plenty to ponder after finishing second in Group D, and will now play Spain in the quarter-finals in Donetsk on Saturday.

England 1 - 0 Ukraine

The final whistle is blown. Tom Kell, Donbass Arena: What a night for England. Qualification was far from assured at the start of the day but Wayne Rooney's goalscoring return and France's defeat by Sweden mean they end it as Group D winners and with a quarter-final against Italy to look forward to.

I really hope so, because I rather see playing against instead of .

 

[ParadiseES]

Oh no, France again.... We have our worst stats with France... :?

But ok, I want revenge after what happened in Euro 2000 and World Cup 2006 + French team is probably the one I hate the most. I'd rather kick France out and I'd be happy, even if we lose in the semis or in the final.
I JUST WANT TO KICK FRANCE OUT!!!!!!!

Oh two teams I really like ( & ) against eachother . Such a bummer!

 

[Miguel]

All countries (except England) competing in the 2012 quarter-finals were winners or runners-up (Portugal) in the past editions. Congratulations! These are the best teams!

 

[aletem]

Woooo ENGLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND!!!!! I am so happy! They won their group! Congratulations! xjump I think England can win over Italy.

So, I was very curious about who has the best shot to keep going and qualify to the semi-finals. I made calculations on FIFA website, based on the latest results. This is just a prediction, of course. Everything can happen, but , , , and are currently the teams having the biggest chances to win their respective matches, according to FIFA data. In this ranking prognosis, Spain remais at #1 (surprised?), Germany is now 2nd, England goes top 3 (rises 3 places), Portugal goes top 5 (rises 5 places), Italy reaches #6 (big jump - six places), Greece goes top 10, France is right after at #11 and Czech Republic stands at #18 (making the biggest jump - it was #27).
This is how the provisional ranking looks like. The new official ranking will be available on 4th July.

FIFA World Ranking - as of June 20 (Ranking Prognosis)

1. Spain – 1544
2. Germany – 1500
3. England - 1306
4. Uruguay - 1297
5. Portugal – 1146
6. Italy - 1117
7. Argentina - 1095
8. Netherlands – 1079
9. Croatia – 1050
10. Greece - 1042
11. France - 1033
12. Denmark - 1017
13. Brazil – 1012
14. Russia – 981
15. Chile – 961
16. Côte d'Ivoire - 939
17. Sweden – 907
18. Czech Republic - 896
19. Mexico – 832
20. Japan - 829
