Now that the Euro 2012 tournament is entering the knockout round, here are the matchups and who I think will advance.
Greece is taking on Germany, and while Greece played their best match against Russia, Germany has found their touch, getting all nine possible points. Safe money says Germany here. Portugal squares off with the Czech Republic, and both are on two match winning streaks. Is Portugal playing to the ridiculously high expectations finally, or is it the Czech Republic's time? I think this will be a good one, but take Portugal, as they played Germany well in the tournament. England takes on Italy, and it looks like England has put the controversies behind them. However, they almost always play down to the competition. Italy hasn't been spectacular, and they have blown chances when given them. Take the arrogant bastards from England. France and Spain squares off, and both teams are not playing their best. France lost to a Sweden team that had nothing to play for, and Spain has clearly let the injuries affect them. However, Spain has too much talent to not win this matchup, so go with them.
