Group C - Spain, Italy
Group D - England, France

Winner - Spain
Worst Team - Denmark (Will finish euro 2012 with 0 points and worst Goals Against for euro 2012)

[Razor King]

Group A: Russia and Czech
Group B: Germany and Holland
Group C: Italy and Spain
Group D: France and England

Winner: It's very tough to predict. Spain is the pre tournament favorites, but I feel it's going to be Holland or Germany. I'll go ahead and predict Holland to win it.
Worst team: Can't say
Dark Horse: Russia

[Magsimus]

Group A: Greece
Russia

Group B: Netherlands
Germany

Group C: Spain
Ireland

Group D: France
Ukraine

Winner: Germany
Worst team: England. We're awful normally, but no manager and no Rooney for 2 games means we'll be even worse. Yikes.
Dark Horse: France. Not as renowned these days so think they'd pass as a dark horse. Farcical in the last tournament, but with Cabaye and hopefully Ben Arfa they'll have my support when England go out.

Group A

Russia
Czech republic

Group B

Netherlands
Portugal

Group C

Italy
Ireland

Group D

England
France

Winner - England
Worst Team - Germany (slow players, all Klose can do is goal hang and he's past it. Podolski will keep blasting the ball over the bar and won't even get to play up front he will be played on the wing. And the bastard bandwagonning traitor isn't even German he is POLISH so he will get booed out of the country. Thomas Muller is an idiot with no skill who can only score tap ins.)
Dark Horse - Spain (very boring to watch, but could cause a shock if they don't lose to Switzerland or a similar team along the way)
Biggest foulers - Netherlands
Worst referee - Howard Webb

England defeat Spain just a few months ago (as pictured).

Spain completely owned (as pictured) the last time England and Spain met at the European Championships.

MY PREDICTIONS

Group A - Czech republic, Russia
Group B - Germany, Netherlands
Group C - Spain, Italy
Group D - England, France

Winner - Germany
Worst Team - Greece - They're a really really shit team
Dark Horse - France - After their terrible WC run I expect them to bounce back. I think they'll be the third best team behind Spain and Germany.

England without Wilshere for EUROs

Arsene Wenger has confirmed that Jack Wilshere has been ruled out for the rest of Arsenal FC's season and will not be fit to represent England at UEFA EURO 2012 this summer.

The midfielder, 20, has been out of competitive action since first sustaining a stress fracture to his right ankle during England's 2-2 UEFA EURO 2012 qualifying draw with Switzerland on 4 June. He further aggravated the situation during a friendly in July, and although he has since had surgery, Wenger admitted that Wilshere is making slow progress in his recovery.

Speaking after Arsenal's 2-1 home defeat by Wigan Athletic FC on Monday night, the Gunners' manager said: "He is not ready to practise today or next week. He makes progress, but slow progress. He will not be ready for the end of the season and not for the EUROs. He is devastated, and you can understand that."

England kick off their EURO 2012 campaign against France in Donetsk on 11 June. They will also come up against Sweden and co-hosts Ukraine in Group D.
