Friday Fisticuffs - Euro Predictions


Because when website ratings are low, you go to what draws the most attention. Therefore we bring you predictions of a soccer tournament that the U.S. isn't allowed to be in. Here are Mark and I's predictions for Euro 2012:

Mark


Group A

1st Russia
2nd Poland

Pained me to not pick my fellow Czech country men but hosts tend to overachieve and Russia is one of the best teams people hardly ever talk about. They made the semis in 2008 and lost to eventual champion, Spain.

Group B

1st Germany
2nd Netherlands

I found the Group of Death surprisingly easy to pick. Portugal's defense is incredibly suspect. Denmark will miss out due to goal differential.
