FRA -ENG 3:0 No chances for England with their B-Team without Rooney and all others, who had injuries
SWE- UKR 2:1 For sure with a goal from Voronin after a great pass into the free space by Timoshenk..., uh Tymoshchuk!

My impression:
Group A: Russia, Greece
Group B: Germany, Portugal
Group C: Spain, Croatia
Group D: Ukraine, Sweden

I think
Group A: Russia, Poland
Group B: Germany, Denmark
Group C: Spain, Italy
Group D: England, Ukraine
Flops and comments
Sweden - No team spirit and egoistic Ibra (sure he scores with luck) but I don't See Sweden winning any matches
Portugal - Egoistic team without any team spirit and I think they will flop
France - I think they will flop too and lose to Ukraine and tie with Sweden.
My Dark horses are almost the same.
Russia, Poland and now Denmark (due to their luck and team spirit)
For the matches tonight.
Rus - Pol 2-1
Gre - Cze 0-1

Tonight I think we will see the biggest flop so far in the EC, with Portugal losing to Denmark by 2-0 and thus be out of the EC. They don't deserve to go through with their egoistic players.
The same can be said for Netherlands, I think Germany will crush them. so I will vote a 3-1. Sure I follow my heart half and mind half, but this will happen I think. to put it in a easy form
Den - Por 2:0
Ned - Ger 1:3
Good luck to all and lets hope the matches wont be dull.

If Portugal manages to play like in the last 20 mins against Germany, I think they can beat Denmark. Then again, Denmark has their numbers. If Denmark scores early, CR and the rest will whine again and be full of frustration.
DEN-POR 1:0
For the evening game I expect some surprises from Germany. I think Löw will change the lineup and again it will be the right choice.
NED-GER 2:3

I wouldn't say that right now. All the greater teams (GER, NED, POR, ESP, ENG, FRA) were quite disappointing, with the exception of Italy, which had some interesting tactics. ENG-FRA even stopped playing after the first half. Most of the teams aren't so much fun to watch because of their defensive and cautious behaviour.
What I think is positive: No team looks unbeatable and with the exception of maybe Ireland and probably Greece, all could still win the tournament.
Which do you think are the weakest teams so far?
I'd say: Ireland, Greece, England, France. I don't see them winning any game.

I would not consider Por a "greater team" they are medicore.
I think Germany did ok and Italy was very nice. England was cleaver im0.
Ned, Fra and Esp did disappoint abit, but still good matches im0.
Weakest teams so far ? Portugal, Greece, Ireland and Sweden, if I had to pick 4 and yes the EC is very open, teams are much more equal in Tournaments and its more about their current form and luck, even team spirit is super important, something a few teams lack thus my dull predictions for them
