Who do you think are the dark horses of the tournament? Since the golden run of Greece a couple of Euros ago, sanity seems to have returned back to the Euros. Do you fancy any dark horses for this Euro? Cheers! Ram

For me, the dark horses are France and Italy. While they are traditionally the soccer superpower, no one actually give them much hope. So labeling them as one is fine? Else, the next would be Russia.

If Italy goes by history of scandals, then they should be favorites. Two times before they have been in scandals and both times they won the world cup. This is the third time they are caught in a scandal, so can they make it three in a row. Cheers! Ram

Considering that in Group A there isn't a superpower team both teams that they'll advance from there have the chance to become the darkhorses of the tournament since it's just 2 matches after the group stage to reach the final. I hope we can be one of the two teams qualifying from the group, who knows, maybe if Karagounis can send another wonder-strike for the hosts as he did 8 years ago we start with a win :) Other than Group A teams I think Croatia has players that if they manage to perform well together they can go well in the tournament.

Ukraine has not had a good run in the friendlies building up to the game. Do you still feel they have a good chance at the Euros? Cheers! Ram

Yes, I also do not see England definitely. :) But what do you say about Italy. Given the past whenever there is a corruption scandal, Italy are the favorites. :) Cheers! Ram

Portugal have been overshadowed for this Euro! There is immense training in the Poland camp as well...

Yes, Portugal seems to be a one man team. So people are not having big hopes of them. Cheers! Ram
