Just ordered my Germany shirt!
I ordered from World Soccer Shop and having it shipped to Canada, so I hope it won't take too long. The website said it takes 2-3 weeks LOL. Oh well, as long as I get it >
green or white?
man, it would be crazy if germany loses the first two games against netherlands and portugal. dont wanna know what would happen here then.
I haven't been impressed since Euro 2008.

Holland were defeated by Bulgaria during the preparation for Euro 1988 and they went on to win the championship, so this proves that Holland will be crowned the champions this year.
Spain final squad:
Goalkeepers: Casillas, Valdés y Reina.
Defenders: Arbeloa, Juanfran, Ramos, Piqué, Albiol, Javi Martínez y Jordi Alba.
Midfield: Busquets, Xabi Alonso, Xavi, Iniesta, Cazorla, Silva, Mata, Cesc, Pedro y Navas.
Strikers: Llorente, Torres y Negredo.
Negredo instead of Adrian? Albiol? Oh you Del Bosque...

no panic!
the entire team is in Monaco now for F1 and sponsors events. A perfect preparation for the tournament.
seriously? seems like a good idea after yesterday's game.
and rightly so.
Never before did a German coach have such a squad to choose from. (I am sure we all remember the dark days of Völler...)
Anyway, I don't think it's likely.
Where's Soldado?
I got myself the white one. I went to local sports stores here in Toronto to check both out and thought both were really nice, but the white one was a little nicer to me. I can't wait!
Yeah, that would suck so hard. Part of me is concerned with the fact that a lot of these players haven't had time to practice and play together domestic leagues and CL going the full distance. Add to that Low's love for testing out lineups and players... kind of takes away time from the first team. I hope 2 weeks is enough time

These are called "test matches" for a reason. Anyone who seriously thinks the performance in these matches is any indication of a team's actual tournament performance has no clue about football.

Pedro got in ?! Woooo ! those 2 Copa Del Rey final goals surely has something to do with it....but where is Soldado in all of this ?
So who's going to start next to Piqué? Albiol? Martinez? Not much to choose from. Puyol will be sorely missed. The midfield is incredible as always.
Also surprised that Negredo was selected ahead of Soldado.

Switzerland didn't qualify for the Euro 12 or unless I missed something
Neither did Denmark in 1992 and they went on to win the tournament.

it happened in 1982 and we won the world cup
it happened Calciopoli in 2006 and we won the world cup again
Italy winning Euro 2012 confirmed
Oh gosh it's true... Conspiracy alert.
Sergio Ramos with Arbeloa as RB. That defense without Puyol is very weak unless Pique improves his form.
Right, he's adapted... apparently... we'll see.
The conversation was about how the exhibitions were meaningless. Switzerland beat Germany 5-3 so I made a joke about how they're now favourites (despite not being in the tournament).

Last time Germany lost to Switzerland 3-5 was in 1908....expect a WORLD WAR in 5-6 years!

I'm going with Ireland for the surprise victory.
IRC Ramos was always a CB until Real Madrid put him at the right side of the defense. After the Carvalho injury, he played most of the year at CB so that will not be a problem. The problem is that he will not have Pepe to cover for his mistakes...
but we have to lose.
I don't want hear that popopopopopopo shit again.
Vu qu'il ne sera pas sélectionneur après l'euro, j'en doute
Sortie par la petite porte comme les dernières compétitions I'm rooting for France, as usual but we're going to be destroyed.

seems one of the italian defenders was sent home , to "clear his name".
