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.
