Euro 2008 | My Predictions

You know that I’m supporting Germany this Euro 2008. While I’m kind of confident that Germany will win the trophy, I’ll tell you how exactly they would achieve it. Here is the tournament map on who progresses, and who gets eliminated, and who goes how far. It makes sense to go by each group.

Group A – Czech, Portugal, Switzerland & Turkey. I’m rushing to say Portugal would top the group but Czech republic pipping them won’t be an upset. Still, it’s hard to see Portugal not topping with Ronaldo, Quaresma, Deco, Carvalho etc. The hosts Switzerland’s best chances could only be against Turkey but then I get this feeling that they would hardly get a point or two in the group.

A1 – Portugal | A2 – Czech Republic.

Group B - Austria, Croatia, Germany & Poland. There is no question about who’d be topping the group. It’s gonna be Germany. Eduardo-less Croatia will stretch Germany as much as possible but Germans have too much quality and experience not to finish on top. Being a ‘tournament team’, they’d know the value of finishing on top. Poland may surprise Croatia, which is why I’m sure Germany will top the group.

B1 – Germany | B2 – Croatia.

Group C - France, Netherlands, Italy & Romania. This tournament’s group of death. My money is on Italy and Netherlands. I don’t generally go by friendlies form but France of late have been dishing out disjointed performances. To make things perfect, I’d love to see Romania beat France. Despite missing Cannavaro, Italy would do their business. Something tells me that the inconsistent Netherlands would top the group followed by Italy.

C1 – Netherlands | C2 – Italy.

Group D – Greece, Sweden, Spain & Russia. In a way, this group is also a group of death. While Spain ‘might’ sail through to the quarters, the other three teams in the group could all have realistic chances of making it. I think Hiddink-powered Russia will go through. Hiddink must be looking at 2 wins and a draw in the group and I think he could just achieve it.

D1 – Spain | D2 – Russia.

Quarter Finals

A1 vs B2 – Portugal vs Croatia – Could be a very hard fought match. Could even be the match of the tournament. Portugal will prevail.
B1 vs A2 – Germany vs Czech Republic – Germany to win comfortably. Game will go as scripted by the Germans.
C1 vs D2 – Netherlands vs Russia - Strangely I think Russia will overcome the Dutch challenge. Hiddink knows a thing or two about Netherlands team.
D1 vs C2 – Spain vs Italy – Could be a classic. A footballing lesson. Finally, Spain’s power will pip Italy’s resolve.

Semi Finals

Germany vs Portugal – One more heartbreak for the Portuguese. Germany to go through. Towering header by Ballack.
Russia vs Spain - Tears for the Russians. Their dream run would be stopped brutally by the Spanish.

Finals

Germany vs Spain – Ballack would be European champion.

I don’t know what are the odds for the above to happen but it would be fun if it does. At the end of the group stages, may be I will re-assess the situation, if required that is. What do you guys think? Do you think Russia will make it to the semis? Do you think France won’t progress to quarters? Do you think Portugal will not win the trophy? Do you think Germany will be champions?

  1. Poland will beat Germany. Enough said.

  2. GERMANY will WIN

  3. Yeah bidji :) POLSKA GOLA POLSKA GOLA – TAKA JEST KIBICOW WOLA!! :D Why Poland in your prediciton BC is eliminated in group stage? Have a little faith in our boys :) I think we can eliminate Croatia and go to the top 8 with Germany.

  4. Italy will win and become european champions!!!!

  5. holland is goin 2 win and not germany

  6. for me is Germany-Spain or Germany-France final and of course Ballack to lift the cup..
    Gr.A / Portugal/Switzerland
    Gr.B / Germany/Croatia
    Gr.C / France/Italy
    Gr.D / Spain/Russia

    Quarters: Portugal-Croatia / Portugal
    Germany – Swiss / Germany
    France – Russia / France
    Spain – Italy / Spain

    Semi: Germany – Portugal / Germany
    Spain – France / I’d prefer Spain

    Final: Germany – Spain 2:0 (Klose,Ballack)

    ** Germany the winner of Euro 2008 ** Ballack the best player of tournament
    Klose top scorer ..

  7. Germany will fail miserably….Italy,France or Spain to win..Holland will entertain though….

  8. france are inconsistent, but so are holland, i think the long runners are portugal (because their youth is finally reached an acceptable level) and Germany as they perform every match

  9. Hi guys..

    Its going to be Germany vs portugal in the finals

    Penalties..

    4-4

    5th penalty..Cronaldo misses and BALLACK SCORES..

    GERMANYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

  10. Germany will win !!

    My chelsea team for next season !!!

    My manager: Frank Rijkaard

    His management team will be: Steve Clarke,

    Player of the Year will be: Michael Essien, runner-up Petr Cech

    Top scorer: Mario Gomez with + 22 goals

    Newcomer of the year: Ricardo Quaresma

    We will finish:

    In the Premiership: – Champions

    In the Champions League – Champions (v Inter Milan (fate))

    In the FA Cup: Champions (v Man United )

    In the Carling Cup: lose semi final (v Liverpool)

    This is how I will shape my squad!

    Players to be released for free or top £500,000 (2-4): – Makelele, Boulahrouz, Belletti,

    Players I will sell: (3-4) Drogba £23 million, Sidwell £4 million, SWP £10 million, Tal Ben Haim £4 million, Pizzaro£5 million

    Loaned: Shevchenko, Ben Sahar

    Players to be promoted from the youth group: (2-3) – Miroslave Stoch, Kakuta, Scott Sinclair.

    Players I will buy for my £50 million + what I sell for (£41million) (max 4): From club / Position / Price

    Mario Gomez – Stuttgart – Forward – £25 million

    Ricardo Queresma – Porto-Wing/Attacking Mid – £20 million

    Rafael Van Der Vaart – Hamburg – Attacking Mid – £14million

    Joao Moutinho- Sporting Lisbon- Attacking Mid- £14million

    David Villa – Valencia – Forward- £18million

    My squad: (23 plus goalies) Cech, Cudicini, Hilario – A Cole, Ivanovic, JT, Carvalho, Ferreira, Alex, Bridge, Bosingwa, Mikel, Joao Moutinho, Essien, Ballack, Lampard, Joe Cole, Kalou, Malouda, Van Der Vaart, Quaresma, Mario Gomez, Anelka, Villa, Di Santo, Sinclair,

    We will be playing
    Best team in Champions League and Premier League.
    Mixed team in FA Cup
    Development team in Carling Cup

    My Chelsea will play: 4-2-3-1, 4-4-2, 4-3-3 (depending on the situation)

    My starting XI for the season will be:

    Cech – Boswinga, JT, Carvalho, Cole – Essien ,Mikel/ Joao Moutinho – Ballack/ Van Der Vaart- Lampard/Cole/ Kalou – Quaresma/Malouda – Mario Gomez/Anelka/ Villa /Kalou

    Comment: Drogba will go, along with the inevitable (Sidwell etc). A formation similar to Liverpool`s (Also shown by AC Milan at time) will bring out the best in the forward play of the 3 new attacking players. Essien and Ballack will just be midfield, Essien more defensive, however mainly there won`t be a defensive midfielder, making a more attack formation, with Cole and Bosingwa more restricted to prvent counterattacks. Di Santo will get a lot of first team experience, whilst Shevchenko will be loaned to Milan in January. Lampard may struggle in this formation and he could lose his place to Joe Cole (if he is does not leave before the season starts), with Van Der Vaart moving into the centre of the attacking three.

  11. i am sitting on the fence for group c
    but in group A POR CZECH
    B Germany croatia
    d spain russia
    france vs holland will decide group c
    i think italy will qualify dont no first or second

  12. As long as they do not face each other before the final, I can see Portugal v Germany in the final.
    However reading the local press and speaking with a few footballers, Portugal wants to meet Germany after the group, so they are even prepared to stay 2nd if Germany gets 1st in their group.
    Portugal hadnt lost a match to Germany since 1996, if my memory does not let me down, they lost aginst Germany in the last world cup after the extra effort with the England match.So Portugal is trying to meet Germany even before the final, so they can avenge the last defeat. I am afraid my team does not have the skill and technic to pass Portugal, providint every player is in top condition and no injuries.
    So as long as they avoid each other it will be Portugal v Germany, but guys you need luck in tournements like this.
    Lets see and wait, tomorow would give you an indication of how Portugal will fare in the competition.
    Group A I even think Switeraleand will go through.

  13. @9 TrueBlueInd
    it cant be a germany vs portugal final,look at d draw if u haven’t seen yet

  14. andrew,tn,coimbatore

    german is going to win the euro 2008

  15. it would be awesome if this scenario takes place, but it’s insanely unlikely to happen. I think the franch are too experienced not to beat talented but disjointed netherlands.
    My predictions:
    Italy beats spain in semis,
    Germany beats portugal in semis and italy in finals.

  16. Portugal has some scores to settle with Germany regarding to 1997.If Portugal are to face Germany im sure this time Batta wont be there for germans. ;)

  17. We have already lost Jakub Blaszczykowski and Tomasz Kuszczak ;/ bad bad luck…

  18. Guys,reports say that Roman has put 40 m bid for Auguero…is that true…that would be a great buy….

  19. MourofEssien (MoE)

    BC and others who are rooting for Germany- Your prayer should be that they do not run into my Italia along the way- anytime any day, germany will fall at italy’s feet. The rare moments they prevail are like the rare moments Man U prevails against the Blues. 8 out of 10 times, they will be kayoed.

    Viva Italia, Forza azurris, Keep The Blue Flag flying Ever Higher.

  20. @10 nice team but Khalid Boularouz will go for 8m and belleti for 9m so we’ll have more cash to play with.. oh and mutu has to pay us 8m compensation..

  21. this is a question to everyone,
    but it is a common fact that when a new manager comes from a different team, he brings new players with him
    when mourinho came, he bought a load of porto stars, now he is leaving, it is likely he will take his lapdog drogba and possibly lampard & mikel
    now we recently signed an unknown pehnomonon known as bosingwa who recently became favourite for the national squad, with several players who have been praised by scolari such as quaresma and silva being advertised for sale, and the fact we have made no formal approach for a manager, it raises an eyebrow don’t you think?

  22. if we can wait till end of euros we can get scholari who i think as not rejected chelsea move just wait for euros to end .good performance by cech today

  23. AGENT REVEALS CHELSEAS INTEREST IN RONALDINHO….
    http://www.goal.com/en/Articolo.aspx?ContenutoId=727027

    IS THIS GOOD OR BAD NEWS TO ALL OF YOU????

  24. Bosingwa is Playin well.

  25. Hi guys..

    Just saw Portugal’s game..Not bad..But i seriously expected a bit more with the quality of that squad

    I cant wait to see how the Germans and the French kick start their campaign

  26. Just saw Portugal v Turquey and honmestly Portugal diod not impress, but they won.
    Yes flashes of geniuses in the Portuguese team, but they still need some time together.
    However arent they gifted with skills and thechnich only second to Brazilians?
    Bosingwa did very well, as expected, and for me the best portuguese player in the field.
    Scolari carries on his aversion for Quaresma, cant wait to see that guy playing, apparently he is the portuguse player in best form.
    Deco had some brilliant moments, but still need to up a gear, how about Carvalho and Pepe??? this new central defenders are going to be the best in the world again just like Carvalho and Jorge Andrade previously.
    If they gel expect zero sheets in Portugal favour, hope they only meet Germany in the final.
    Watched also Swiss v Chechs and swiss were unlike, I have a feeling the Checs are not such a good team after all, still early to comment, but very lucky to win the game.

  27. Just another point.
    Joao Moutinho for a 20 years old No.10 better than Van der Vaart (oopps spelling)
    better by miles.
    just wonder if Roman is watching sipping tea with P Kenyon.
    Ok cant wait to see Germany playing .

  28. 24@ Germany and Portugal cant play in th final

  29. BTW:Joao Moutinho is 21 not 20.Hes ok but honestly not as impressive as his team mate from Sporting- Miguel Veloso (defensive MC) who can sometimes play as left back when needed.There are rummors they both might be on their way out of Sporting to play on bigger european teams.
    Sporting is renowned by their youngsters academy: Ronaldo,Nani,Figo,Quaresma, just to name a few, born to football there. ;)

  30. Bosingwa yesterday was just opposite of Belleti…extremely good while defending but disappointing in attack..I hope this was one off performance..
    Chelsea is still pursuing Ronaldinho…I wish he becomes a part of Chelsea along with Auguero…

  31. Guys no matter Chelsea is without manager at the moment but transfer activities seems to be in full swing…Chelsea has reportedly made bid for Auguero,Ribery and Pirlo though Pirlo has rejected any move away from Milan…Ronaldinho is also in picture..it seems that major changes are in offing…we may not see Drogba,Lampard and Malouda at Bridge next season….
    please share any further updates regarding transfers and target players…

  32. I’d love to have Ronny bucktooth at Chelsea ! Good entertainment value and excitement ,Pair him with Diego in the midfield and with Quresma on the flank … fireworks it would be… we’d be one of the most popular teams in the world….

  33. No Quaresma as he would be another Malouda or SWP…lots of huff and puff but no end product…Ribery will be a great buy…

    just imagine,

    Cech
    Bosingwa Terry Carvalho Cole

    Essien

    Cole Ronaldinho Ribery

  34. No Quaresma as he would be another Malouda or SWP…lots of huff and puff but no end product…Ribery will be a great buy…

    just imagine,

    Cech

    Bosingwa Terry Carvalho Cole

    Essien

    Cole Ronaldinho Ribery

    Auguero

    Eto/Villa/Dos Santos

    Subs:Ferriera,Ivanovic,Bridge,Mikel,Kakuta,Stoch,Ballack

    This is enough for both EPL and CL….

  35. bosingwa was good yesterday i will give him 8 out of 10

  36. @36..I think Bosingwa was pathetic in attack..his ball control was awful..I can’t recall a single purposeful cross from him…though excellent in defense…

  37. Guys media reports say that Deco is on verge of joining Chelsea…I think it won’t be a good buy..he is 31 and would be only on decline hence forth and hence we will soon need a replacement..we must better go for Diego or Van Der Vart…

  38. omg…deco may be coming to chelsea….he’s gd,creative and i would love to have him in chelsea…but does it mean lampard is leaving…for me lampard is a legend and it aches to see him go..but how can chelsea accomodate so many midfielders…somemore chelsea is linking to attacking mids like vanderwaat,ronaldinho…pls share ur comments

  39. chelsea has allowed drogba to talk with AC Milan. and they want to keep sheva ! I really don’t understand this :s. Maybe drogba hasn’t been in top-form this season, but sheva ?!?!? PLEASE PEOPLE, why for god’s sake :S? Why would you keep sheva and sell drogba :O? Sheva hasn’t performed anything at chelsea, and i don’t see any drastic changes why he would do so next season -.-.

  40. scholari, got a feeling we will get him as we have bosingwa and are in for queresma,makes sense and maybe carvalho will stay.

    van der vart quaresma (Joao Mouthino…. the new deco)villa and benzema or Gomez!! (ballack will talk to him for us)will be what we need and let bola ben haim belleti swp malouda pizarro and sidwell go and drogaba and sheva are leving kalkuta santo and sinclair should play next season.

    but guys.. Pizarro is not awful – just not a 4-3-3 player. Similar to Sheva and Anelka.

    quaresma will be a great buy!!

    @31. blueindian yea man Bosingwa has got a lot of energy… up and down the field in a flash!!

    Chelsea know full well who there manager is and he is already tapping the players he wants on the shoulder. Boswinga is the best example and it’s no suprise that Scolari is his national manager.

  41. hi guys..

    Just saw the Germany game…Definitely not the stuff of Champions

    There are a lot of chinks that need to be ironed out..

    Jensen , M’serker , Metzelder..all were Bad to horrible today

    Gomez sucked major time today

    Fritz on the right wing was also pretty awful

    Defensively VERY frial & Vulnerable..Only Lahm looks comfy at the back

    Other than that..pretty good all round game..good possesion, chances n stuff..but lots of scope for improvement.

    Lots of guys here prefer Gomez, But i would prefer Podolski any day..He has lots of energy, great positional sense, gets into good areas, can play on the left wing, center of midfield and as support striker and his finishing is usually spot on as he displayed today.

  42. TrueblueInd obviously doesn’t know what he’s talking about and neither does bidji. So who do you think is champions material buddy? None of the other “favourites” I’ve been seeing recently are performing well. I also have no idea where your getting your information from the defenders about. You obviously didn’t watch the same game I did (they were close to flawless.. oh wait that is almost self evident with 0-0). Typical though of someone like you to follow what you said with a comment about how good a player like podolski is after just one game … knowing you, after just one average performance, you’d be whining about how overrated he is. Clearly you have never played football at a high level, nor do you understand what makes a champion. I’m ashamed that you’re a blues fan … probably just another bandwagoner. Im so sick of brainless people supporting my team.

  43. In my Opinon,

    A:1.Portugal 2.Czech Republic

    B:1.Germany 2.Croatia

    C:1.France 2.Holland(Italy lacking)

    D:1.Spain 2.Russia

    Quarter:
    Por vs Cro…Portugal win 2-0
    Ger Vs C.ReP…Ger wins 1-0
    Fra vs Rus…France win 2-1
    Esp vs Hol…Esp win 1-0

    Semis:
    Ger vs Por…Ger win 3-2
    Fra vs Esp…France win 2-1

    Final:
    Germany 2 France 0

    Germany Lifts the Euro08 throphy!

  44. French are the under dogs. Benzema to be the player of the tournament.

    allezy ! allezy! les bleus

  45. Chelsea goes for Eto for 22m…Bayern wants Chelsea to coughup 31m for Ribery…Scolari will like to have Moutino and Querema at Bridge if he becomes next Chelsea boss…
    thats latest on Chelsea transfer rumours…

    Guys, lets stop all this craze about so many strikers coming next season- Franco Di santo, kakuka, Anelka, sheva and Kalou look very great to me. What we need is at most one additional guy to beef them up. I certailnl hope the young guys di santo, kakuta and Sinclair will be given full opportunity next season

    Hello Joey

    I havent played football at any HIGH level…I used to play for my school team(in UAE) as an atatcking midfielder,then I played for my college team(In India) at RB and was an unused substitute in my university team(In india). I hail from India and the quality of football there is nothing to be excited about.So,college team n all is absolutely nothing.Me playing at those levels is nothing GREAT.

    I watch football, I love the sport and i write what I FEEL about the game. I am not a pundit or anything to give the correct views and stuff. I am just a fan with all the flaws associated with being a fan.

    I support Germany and i would like to see a much better performance from them. I am really sorry I didnt know that a clean sheet means a SEXY defensive performance.Acording to that logic, Holland won 3-0 today, so their Defence was SEXY as well I guess.

    I wasnt happy with the German LB because the poland team orchestrated numerous attacks from his side and he couldnt do anything.The Cbs were bad according to me bacuase they never went in support of the LB even when it was evident he was struggling to cope.Our College team coach was an ex Kerala(A state in India)player.He always told us that when we play 4 defenders at the back, the Cbs should support the fullbacks to prevent people from cutting in from the wings. Maybe he was also wrong.
    Also, the CBs were literally standing their ground instead of marking players whenever the polish guys beat the Lb and cut back the ball to their forwards or Midfielders.They were saved from embaressment because the serious lack of co ordination among the polish forwards and also their poor finishing.The Cbs also took turns to get into messy situations with Lehman bacuse of poor communication.

    So, from my limited knowledge of the game, in MY opinion I feel the defensive performance was poor.

    Actually I saw Podolski play for the first time in the World Cup in 2006, podolski was performing consistently well for Germany even back then.He also played pretty well during the qualifiers for Euro 2008. In fact whenever theres been transfer discussions here in Blue champions I have always listed podolski in my wish list for Chelsea. Maybe again my poor knowledge of the game.

    According to me Champions Material was Chelsea team of 2004-05.Perfect In defence, Brillaint at attack. That is my benchmark. Pefect All round Game. I expect that from champions. Again maybe my poor knowledge of the game.

    As for bandwagon fans, maybe you should write to Abramovich and kenyon & tell them to put a sign outside Stamford Bridge. NO NEW FANS ALLOWED. ONLY FANS OF CHELSEA for X No of years ALLOWED. They should also cancel all the pre season tours and all, its a risky poposition as Chelsea might get new bandwagon fans.

    ———————————————————————————–

    A small piece of Advice from a person with limited knowledge of the game.Take it in the right sense.

    Every Person is unique and has differnt views. That is what makes life wondeful. The variety.
    Just because you dont believe in something doesnt make it wrong and just beacuse someone doesnt think like you doesnt make him brainless.

    Thre are so many people who post in this blog.A few are Manchester, arsenal & Liverpool fans trying to ruin the atmosphere. Then there are lots of chelsea fans from different parts of the world. All are bound by a common love for chelsea.Its a great place to have healthy discussins and discuss things.I respect each of them.I dont agree with all of their views, but i dont abuse them or call them brainless.

    Fans are fans, they are an important factor of a club. It doesnt matter if hes a genius or if he has limited knowledge of the game. It doesnt matter if hes been a fan for 50 years or for 50 days.Whats imporant is that he supports the club.

    I have no personal issues with you, but kindly(If possible)refrain from calling names and stuff.

    Cheers

  48. @ 43/44 Joey – Podolski is a very good player and yesterday he was playing behind Klose and Gomez.. Imagine our own Anelka who doesn’t want to play as a winger or need more than 10 mins to warm up and take a penalty.

    27 goals in 49 games is very much impressive for 23 year old.Looks like you have recently started watching football.
