Euro 2012 - Group D - Preview

Group D






1. England
2. Sweden
3. France
4. Ukraine


England - FIFA Ranking - 6


  If they can get good performances out of keeper Joe Hart and starlet Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain they should advance.  I pick this year as the first time they do not disappoint, with Hodgson at the helm we may see better form.


Sweden - FIFA Ranking - 17


   The keys for Sweden's success lies within the player of star man Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Sunderland playmaker Sebastian Larsson.  I give them my vote of confidence to progress over France.  Somewhat of a bold call, yet the Euro's hold many twists and turns.

France - FIFA Ranking - 14

  France is very good.  This time around I believe they can't win.  I have not seen enough to make me really think this squad has the power to take the group by storm.

Ukraine - FIFA Ranking - 52 


  Co-hosts, they will play extremely motivated.  With national greats Andriy Shevchenko and Andriy Voronin, can they produce shock results?  I say nope.

Stoke City v Arsenal - Prediction Arsenal 2 - 1 Stoke City Liverpool v Manchester City *Pitch-360 Game of the Week* Liverpool - The Red's will look to defy the odds tomorrow.  With a young team, Brendon Rogers will hope Steven Gerrard will lead them to glory and a top 4 finish.  Look for Suarez to a massive piece of the puzzle going forward. Manchester City - It has been a quiet summer for City.  Adding Jack Rodwell from Everton will add more depth to the already stacked midfield.  David Silva, last years standout player, will once again be poised to guide City to the title.  This should be a great match.
