the second game in group A tomorrow is between Russian versus Czech republic
like i said in group A, 4 teams had same quality..they are equal i think
Both of team had ever met in group stage in Euro cup 1996 in England when both of team get draw 3-3 (czech in that time only need 1 point for qualifiying) and they did it...Czech republic and russia make euro cup 1996 as their first debut after leaving their main country (russia from USSR and czezh republic from Czechoslovakia). in this qualification of euro cup 2012, Russian performance is well, and Czech republic must pass the hard step for playing in euro cup 2012(they must play in play off and beat Montenegro 3-0 in playoff step)
Lets talk about their performance in previous euro cup...
Euro cup 2008 is eyewitness for the new player of Russian, Andrean Arshavin and Palyvuchenko...they are lost in semifinal 3-0 by Spain(which become winner in Euro cup 2012)..Russian make surprised because can beat The netherlands, Sweden, and Greece (the former of winner euro cup 2004)
Czech get their best performance in Euro cup 1996 with their star like Karel poborsky, pavel nedved, they reach final but they lost from Germany in final..
what about their preparation?
Russian make a good preparation before Euro cup 2012..they get 2 winning and 3 draw from 5 latest of their game..their last game, win 3-0 against Italy is really good for their morale..
Czech republic is not impression (in my opinion), they get 1 win, 1 draw and 1 lost..They only win against Israel 2-1..
Russian now sit in 11 th FIFA rank and Czech republic in 26th position..
is it enough??no..football is not only statistic and the rank..
prediction of starting line up
Rusian :
Malafeev, Ignashevich, Sharonov, Anyukov, Zhirkov, Shirokov, Zyryanov, Denisov, Arshavin, Dzagoev, Kerzhakov.
Coach : **** Advocaat (Belanda).
Czech Republic :
Cech, Sivok, Kadlec, Limbersky, Gebre Selassie, Plasil, Kolar, Pilar, Jiracek, Rosicky, Baros.
Coach : Michal Bilek (Rep. Ceko).
Czech depends on their experienced player like Petr Cech, Milan baros and Thomas Rosicky..Advocaat may use their rising star Dzagoev for getting 3 points in their first match..
It is for predicting..But i think Russian can win 1-0 or 2-1...
What about you guys??

I think it will be a draw, probably 1-1. I just feel that the Russians and the Czechs are destined to draw this game. With my unqualified analysis, and my less than perfect calculations, it is going to be a drawn game. Don't ask me why. Pre-match forecasts are notoriously inaccurate and full of errors. But when there are more than enough results are predicted, there will be one that fits nicely, just like a size 9 shoe. This one of mine may just be the one. Don't push me. Line up. First come first serve.

I think Russia and Czech republic are two teams that are most likely to go through this group. So that makes this match a very interesting one. I think both teams are well matched. Czech Republic has gone down a bit since the retirement of Pavel Nedved, while Russia has improved significantly better these days with stars such as Arshavin and Zhirkov.
But I still feel the Czech Republic are still a bit too strong for the Russians and I expect them to win this match 2-1.
Cheers!

My prediction was for Russia to win, but as the game approaches, it seems like Russia won't win it at all. I was wrong with my thinking but right with my initial prediction. Russia won and won by a good goal difference that could be costly since you mentioned all 4 teams are of same quality. Russia should do well for Euro since they have a good coach, not to mention some great players.
