Who said Spain? I can't see it - weaker than for some time, I think. Russia??? Because they beat an Italy who have gone so far downhill that the mountain rescue party have called off the search??? Who have they got that will turn over the others?

Stick to Germany - it's usually a safe bet.

Nobody saying Netherlands much...Germany would have to beat Spain to get to final.

Netherlands would be against Italy / France to get there.

My mates still got that scar on his arse from that Dutchman though

Dutch never struck me as arse stabbers, thought that was mainly the Turks, but hey ho.

You mean to say you don't want to still be in Qatar in 10 years time? You've changed your tune.

You might not be too far wrong there , it'll take a good side to beat the Dutch , they've got class all over the park and a bit of bite to go with it as well .

The only thing that usually stops Holland is themselves .

Look at the spreadsheet I did, if you predict enough results to get the top two teams you think for each group then it shows which side of the final they come from and who they'll probably play....

I think France / Netherlands for one semi and Spain / Germany for the other.

Spain / France final

France win.

I've drawn Holland in the office sweep......and I reckon Van Persie's a good bet for top scorer

Re: Euro 2012

I reckon Spain are past their peak and even though the Germans are young they have been in the ascendancy for a few years already. Netherlands will knock out France in the other game setting it up for a Germany v Netherlands final...

It pains me to say this but I think the Germans will win..
