Nah, just joking. 
It's a tough group. First priority is to make it out. After that, anything can happen, but the good thing about facing Germany in the group stage is that you can't meet them again until the final.

Re: Euro 2012
I don't often agree with balotelli, but appreciate the stance
http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/footba...acially-852987
It needs more than just a player walking out, other teams should do same. it would embarrass the football hierarchy

Re: Euro 2012
I appreciate the stance as well, but I can't help thinking he's just substantially increased the odds of racist chants should Italy meet Poland or Ukraine.

Re: Euro 2012
yeah agreed, nations as 1 should walk out not just players.
Fifa and UEFA are a joke. Why England gets shafted is beyond me. All to do with the national squad underachieving? so they give Wembley a go because English clubs do very well in Europe. What about selected national hosts, are they all winners or squads that have gone far?

Ideally then they get punished, more fool them. But probably nothing happens to them except a minor fine, that Blatter and Co use for their next christmas party.

Yeah, but they'd see it as a result if Balotelli were to walk. Why give them another incentive?

Re: Euro 2012
Did anyone watch Panorama last night about the racism in Poland and Ukraine? If you didn't it is worth a watch. I will be very suprised if the tournament goes without incident and i am not suprised in the slightest that the families of Walcott and Oxlade-Chamberlain have said they will be staying at home. It seems that the Polish and Ukranian FA's have turned a blind eye to the racism in league matches in recent years, but have started to impose bans and fines on clubs recently as the tournament approaches, as they have realised they may come out looking very bad. Looking at some of the stuff that goes on in and around the stadiums, it would put me off going, i can't imagine any black or asian fans wanting to go if they saw the programme. The thing that suprised me the most was that it wasn't a minority of fans being racist, it was large number of them at the matches shown in the programme...

Re: Euro 2012
Yeah, I saw part of it, and it was pretty scary stuff. Stewards didn't seem very interested in intervening when thugs turned on people supporting the same side but sporting the wrong skin colour.

We will be lucky if we win match out of the three the way it is going.
