Can't wait!!

We may see some group stage shockers. Being Portuguese, I know we're not expected to past the group stage, and we probably won't, but if we do, it'll be shocking to see Holland OR Germany go home after the group.
In group C, I think Italy may be in some trouble. They lost Barzagli and have only weak back up options such as Bonnuci who is set for mental mistake a game (although a 3-5-2 with Bonnuci, Barzagli & Chiellini was a valuable option before the injury). I wouldn't be shocked to see Croatia take 2nd place in this group.
In group D, I think England are in REAL trouble with Lampard & Cahill hurt, teamed with Rooney's suspension. France will take 1st place in this group, won't be surprised to see Ukraine or even Sweden grab 2nd.
I think we're in for some surprises in terms of group stage eliminations.

In Germany folks are irritated bout how our team was performing in the last 2 games but test games don't matter. It's gonna be difficult for Portugal but like them, Germany and Holland have to rely on a great offense. I'm hoping for a lotta goals in these games.
I would agree with you on your other points, England only goes on a short trip. Our group is by far the most exciting and I really hope for Holland to make it this time but damn, their defense is shit...

Well, Portugal did even worse in the friendlies (0-0 with Macedonia & 3-1 loss to Turkey) and Holland lost 2-1 to Bulgaria and won 7-0 over N. Ireland. It's going to be an exciting group for sure, I expect a ton of goals. Portugal are quite weak in defense this year too. Pepe is great at CB & Coentrao at LB, but our RB is just average and the other CB (Alves) is suffering from a serious lack of form and rustiness after a disappointing season at Zenit.
