Euros: England, France make it to quarters from Group D in contrasting styles!!

Can England can get lucky and score first and hold on to beat Italy? Maybe? can France , playing the way they are now, beat Spain? Hell No! Spain is magical and they play All out All 90+ minutes. France has no chance. Am I correct? How am I doing teacher?

Watching England now is now watching Greece in 2004 and Chelsea in the just concluded Champions League. Defend with all their lives. Pretty boring to watch. Imagine Spain vs England. One side just pass and pass while the other park 10 men in their penalty area. A good solution to those who have problems sleeping.

Well..it seems this euro 2012 will have an ideal semi final..Meaning all the favorite will go through to big four. team like Spain, Portugal,Germany and Italy or England could be in the big four.. England has special touch and improvement under roy hodgson as a coach. he did good job to unit all the players and this seems first time for England.. Gerard is also showing good leadership with really hardworking and has incredible pass which proven his ability as England Captain. with Rooney back to the game..seems they have more confident level... Blanc, on the other side seems has difficulty to manage his player, some says France too relax and wanted to reserve their player since they expect England not win against Ukraine.. but this situation is really not good for France, against Spain they will haveless chance to win... Nice topics..keep it up..

England was lucky with the win over Ukraine as the match should have been a drawn match. But England's qualification to the quarter-finals was never in doubt especially after Sweden had scored their first goal against France. Rooney was not at his element last night. It could have been due to his lack of action for the past 2 weeks. But whenever he had the ball, he was still the menace that could do great damages. By playing Italy in the next match instead of Spain, England has a better chance now to qualify for the semis.

Finally England and France are moved on to the knock out matches from Group D . The winning goal of England was scored by Wayne Rooney and he mad a mark in Euro 2012 in his first match itself. In the second match Sweden played really well, but they are not qualified for the next round. May be due to the better luck of France there .

I really think that england have a chance against the italians. i'm a little more uncertain about france's chances against the spanish. spain haven't been playing at their best but they will certainly have something special lined up for france.

I am very glad that both teams have qualified. Though I did not see France's match against Sweden, I was very disappointed in France. I was expecting more of this team. But I guess that they have no chance against Spain. What do you think? And what about Italy and England? I really hope that England wins. Though, I must say that none of these three teams impressed me during the group stage...
