Portugal is such a crappy team filled with great players... I can't understand why they play so badly ?
Maybe not if they play as bad as they did yesterday...
You'd better wait to have seen all teams -and particulary Spain- before saying such things.
Spain 1-1 Italy
Fernando Torres was guilty of spurning two golden chances as Italy unearthed a performance of real character to hold Spain to a 1-1 draw at the PGE Arena in Gdansk.

If Robben learns to play in a team and Van Persie just learns to play (or stays on te bench while Huntelaar is the striker), Netherlands may have a chance against Germany
Coentrao and Pepe did quite good. Everytyone else didn't
Portugal is easy to neutralise : Don't let the ball reach Ronaldo's feet. Once you did that, Portugal isn't dangerous anymore. Only Ronaldo can score all the other strikers (Postiga, Almeida, Nelson) are crap
About Germany, Hummels and Neuer did pretty good job. Khedira, Gomez and Boateng were quite good. Ozil was terrible. Muller was invisible. Everyone else was decent.
Germany won't win the Euro if they play this way, they won't win the Euro without Muller, Schweinstiger or Ozil playing better than they did against Portugal. Gotze could also be on the pitch. Anyway, Germany needs one of its offensive mdfielders to rule the midfield.
Next game : France VS England. I don't think France could win this game, even without Rooney for England. France's attack is good but the defense is terrible...
You can't be serious !

Republic of Ireland face an uphill battle to reach the Euro 2012 quarter-finals after being outclassed 3-1 by Croatia in their Group C opener at the Stadion Miejski in Poznan.
Ireland where always going to struggle, there best chance was against Croatia but they gave away 2 sloppy goals, the third was extremely unlucky. England are also going to struggle I think, I'm hoping for a win obviously, but I feel a draw would be a good result. Either way the one team England have to beat is Sweden which will be tough.
Also I would like to point out that in most major tournaments the first games are often boring and pretty stale. Teams normally pick there games up in the 2nd and 3rd matches, So while no teams ( apart from Russia ) have looked very good, I don't think we should read to much into it.

Is somewhere outhere.
I thought England had a decent game today considering they were the underdogs,and kind of felt happy for them
that they had some success.But I think they badly missed Rooney up front,as they didn't look like scoring.Hopefully
they will be a bit more adventurous against Sweden,and go for the jugular as the goals they lossed against Ukraine
tonight were sloppy.
As for tommorrows games I'm going for a Greece & Russia win.

The Czech Republic got their Euro 2012 campaign back on track with a 2-1 victory over Greece in Wroclaw.
Poland 1 - 1 Russia with 10 minutes to go.
Spirited Poland hold Russia
A wonder goal from Jakub Blaszczykowski gave Euro 2012 co-hosts Poland a 1-1 Group A draw with Russia in a feisty, entertaining clash at Stadion Narodowy in Warsaw.
