EURO 2021

Not less interesting and who knows if not the most interesting in the second round will be the match between the Dutch and Germans. In their first match at Euro 2012 the Dutch have shown a very weak shape and were defeated by Danish team scoring 0-1. As you can see, the names don’t play and such stars as Robben or Van Persi weren’t able to cope with Danish squad, whose ranking standing is much lower. The Germans are traditionally in a good shape while playing in top rank tournaments. […]

Hardly anybody had expected that after the first match against Holland the Danes would have 3 points on their account. But they managed it! In duel with Oranje, the Olsen team’s defense played like during a concert; in consequence, they were rewarded by acquisition of complete set of points and their prospects to advance from their group are favorable. But can they really be sure of this? Let’s consider the next rival of Danish team, i.e. the squad of Portugal. They lost in turn their first match at Euro 2012 […]

In the second match in Group D, Ukraine, the co-host of European Championships will play in the stadium in Kiev against the Swedish team. It is both Poles and Ukrainian ambition to advance from their group. Although Ukraine is one of the strong teams, they will have to measure their strength with much more stronger rivals than our national team. Their first challenge will be the team of Sweden and their leader Zlatan Ibrahimovic will surely want them to achieve a major success. According to bookmakers, Ukraine has a slight […]

In Group D the fans will be watching a classical match between France and England. Les Bleus, the 16th team in FIFA ranking will measure their strength with Sons of Albion who in that ranking are on position seven. It is very difficult to foresee in what shape players of both teams will arrive at the tournament. At some of the previous events of this kind they accustomed their fans to very unstable play. Both French and English have won their elimination groups. The expectations of both teams’ fans are […]

In the second, definitely less interesting match in Group C, the teams of Ireland and Croatia will measure their strength. The 18th team in FIFA ranking secured themselves the right to participate in European Championships in Poland and Ukraine after victorious playoffs with the team of Estonia. Croatians had also to play an additional match, taking up the second place in their group just behind Greece, but they defeated the Turkish team and were decidedly better than their rivals. It will be an encounter of two very well matched teams […]

The first duel within Group C will be the encounter of the current European and World Champions with the team of Italy. The Spaniards started their last great tournament with defeat 0:1 against Switzerland in the first match in their group. During the tournament they mostly did not charm their fans with their play, but they managed to win the Champion’s title. Although the Spaniards are expected to repeat their success from four years ago, many football experts think that the best times of that team are already over. An […]

In the second match of Group B, Germans, the current European vice champions and one of the main candidates to the champions’ title will play the national team of Portugal, led by Paulo Bento. It will be an exceptionally fascinating duel. The Portuguese will be facing a collective with strong players on every position, starting with the gate defended by Manuel Neuer, through defense team consisting of Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund players, to the attack, where the duet Mario Gomez – Miroslav Klose will inspire terror among Portuguese. The […]

In the first match in Ukraine, one of the favorites of the whole tournament will meet the strong Danish team. The Danish can seriously endanger the Oranje national team; they take the 9th position in FIFA ranking, have won their elimination group by outrivaling Portugal and at Euro, they will surely be in very good condition. Morten Olsen’s team wasn’t lucky at group draw and was placed in the group of death. The Dutch, however, will play at Euro for the highest stakes and their goal is at least advancement […]

In second match of European Championships, as soon as the match between Poland and Greece finishes, two other teams from our group, i.e. Russia and Czech Republic will enter the stadium in Wrocław. The unquestionable favorites of this match will be Russians who surely will want to repeat the result from the previous European championships, when they advanced to the quarterfinal defeating on the way among others the Dutch. The first step to achieve that success will be defeating the world’s 26th team, i.e. the Czechs. There are no great […]

In the opening match at Euro 2012 in Poland and Ukraine, the Poles will pit themselves with the national team of Greece. The balance of matches with European Champions from 2004 is surprisingly positive for our team. Poland won 10 out of 15 matches, there were two draws and three times our team left the pitch defeated. Balance of goals is 29-11 to our benefit. For the last time, we had the chance to pit ourselves with Greeks in March last year, and the match ended with a goalless draw. […]
