The AzKicksIt Euro 2012 Predictions – Group D

Here we go with day 4 of our Euro 2012 predictions. In my mind this group can be won by anyone except Ukraine. Many polarizing figures in this group. Rooney, Benzema, Ibra, Terry, Ribéry, Nasri. Any of these players can win the group, but can also crush their countries dreams at the same time. Once again I am regretting my decision to allow Ben to make predictions with us. Of course he picks Sweden….yes Sweden to win the group.

Jon – Would’ve picked Yann M’Vila of France, but he’s an injury doubt for at least the first group match. People have heard of England’s Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, right? I’ll just pretend I know of some wiz kid who plays for Dynamo Kiev or Shakhtar Donetsk and take credit if anyone on the Ukraine side has a standout performance.
