Hell, yeah I played safe this time, because whenever I thought there will be a dark horse of the tournament, one of favorite teams won. But nevertheless, I have a feeling Austria may be the one during Euro 2016 and Turkey could qualify from the group. I have also feeling that Portugal may be a disappointment of the event.
But then again, go Poles! Lewandowski for the Top Scorer!
Nearest games prediction (1st series): France - Romania: 1-0 (the first match is often boring. Alot of energy, but tight and defensive) Albania - Switzerland: 0-2 Wales - Slovakia: 0-1 England - Russia: 1-1 Poland - Northern Ireland: 2-0 Germany - Ukraine: 2-0 Turkey - Croatia: 1-1 Spain - Czech Republic: 1-0 Republic of Ireland - Sweden: 1-1 (Sweden is my team. I would love to vote for them, but they won't make it this year) Belgium - Italy: 1-1 Austria - Hungary: 1-0 Portugal - Iceland: 0-1 (Icelands super defense get the Portis all messed up and they start to lose their temper. Ronaldo starts acting out like the spoiled brat he is, causes a free kick and Iceland scores.)

My thoughts exactly Though they've crushed Estonia lately, it will only make them cocky. I wouldn't bet on Germany too much this time. Too many essential players are injured or not in top physical shape. And they don't have a world class shooter. Sure, Mueller is very good, but I don't think he'll be equally effective as Klose once was. It will be a splendid match with Poles.
I congratulate everyone - the Day has come! Today it begins!
I won't be able to watch all matches online and will watch some of them later. This is why I won't be checking this thread each and every day, not to get spoiled. Just as I did with the WC thread.
But as soon as I am able to, I'll come here and update the Excel table with prediction points.
Good luck to all the participants of this thread! Good luck to all the teams!
Russia - poor team, no pace England - why is Rooney playing? I'd play Milner and someone with pace like Sturridge as striker as Russia is so slow. Kane - not good enough.

I kinda agree. Rooney is setting up quite a lot of the attacking play...

If they'll play the way they did during qualifications, I'm confident they'll do good.

First round is often tactical so I expect most matches to be close.
I won't be able to watch all matches online and will watch some of them later. This is why I won't be checking this thread each and every day, not to get spoiled. Just as I did with the WC thread.

I need to say this now... I doubt I'll be able to say it again...
ALB - SUI 1-2
WAL - SVK 0-1
ENG - RUS 1-1
As the great gnome meatloaf once said... 2 out of 3 ain't bad!
Now, there's quite a match starting right now.
England - why is Rooney playing? I'd play Milner and someone with pace like Sturridge as striker as Russia is so slow. Kane - not good enough.
