To my fellow soccer fans:
The Draw Ceremony, held in Kiev, Ukraine, has just ended and delivered interesting results. Four qualification groups have been assigned. In each group,
four national teams will compete for
two seats in the playoffs.
Here is the draw:
Group A: Poland, Greece, Russia, Czech Republic
Group B: Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, Portugal
Group C: Spain, Italy, Republic of Ireland, Croatia
Group D: Ukraine, Sweden, France, England
As long as there is the
"Group of Death" (Group B), there should also be the
"Group of Life." In this case, it is Group A. All its teams are evenly matched, perhaps, with slight advantage of
Russia. But, anything can happen (remember Russia stumbling upon
Slovenia in 2009?).
Ukraine is in a tough group. France wants to bounce back from the World Cup disaster - will be hard to beat. England is always a favorite. Sweden is the best match for Ukraine in this quartet so far- in skill and in
colors.
Good Luck to Russia and Ukraine. Hope they will clash in the Final!
Enjoy the
video of the colorful ceremony.
Now tell me: what team has the best chances of winning Euro 2012?
