I know absolutely nothing about European soccer teams and normally only follow the WC.

I do however enjoy rooting for Germany and Sweden since that is where my ancestors lived, how are they looking this year?

Also is Slavdon Ibrahimovic* still on Swedens team? He was absolutely ridiculous in FIFA World Cup 2010!!!

germany should be the favorite, imo. they are just absolutely stacked with ozil, hummels, gotze, lahm, neuer, schweinsteiger, etc.

sweden has some good pieces with zlatan, rasmus elm, and seb larsson, but not too strong overall

I'd put USA's chances of winning at about 60%. I mean we've been sandbagging recently but I think we will turn it on in time to win this tournament. I'm only worried about our draw, we got a dousy!

Whats the bracket look like? Do I have to choose a winner in the title game between Sweden and Germany or can I just mark it down as a tie?

This is international play. It's like the World Cup. Only it's just sixteen European teams instead of 32 teams from around the world.

steve dave · « **Reply #20 on:** May 19, 2012, 11:39:53 PM »

So no USA? That's rough ridin' racist. Is Ireland its own team or is it all UK together?

sunny_cat · « **Reply #21 on:** May 19, 2012, 11:43:38 PM »

They know the US would win it every time so they didn't let us enter. And Ireland and England and everything are all their own teams. They both qualified. Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Wales all didn't.

steve dave · « **Reply #22 on:** May 19, 2012, 11:47:00 PM »

Ireland and northern ireland have separate teams? That's rough ridin' racist too. Their Protestants and Catholics need a third party evil religion to unite them like the mother rough ridin' USA has. USA, USA, USA!

Can we talk about how shitty group A is compared to B & D? C is a well balanced group the others are ridiculous.

B is clearly the toughest IMO. The groups are determined by a lottery aren't they? That's rough ridin' stupid. Germany, Holland, and Portugal should not be in the same group. The top four teams need to be in separate groups.

And D might not be as strong as it looks. There's no way to tell if England is going to get something going with their new manager. And France has been pretty shitty the past couple years. Still talented as crap though.

Russia and Czech Republic are pretty good but they are terrible compared to Spain, Germany, and Holland.
