In Poland we have like the whole menagerie of score-predicting beasts.

We should have a pool

I bet five languish bucks on Poland getting through the group stage.

I think the Polish team has a lot of talent, is playing in a weak group on home turf.  They should make it through group phase, maybe even finish first, but it is hard to predict how their lack of experience will play out on the big stage.  Will they be able to live up to their potential or crumble under pressure?

Lot of talent? Besides Lewandowski, which Polish player would you put as first rate currently?

I mean, I also think that they have a shot, mostly due to the utter weakness of their group, but they'd be out in the knockout stage whoever they meet.

Martinus

I have serious hots for the captain of the Polish team.

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

I was thinking Jakub Błaszczykowski and Łukasz Piszczek in particular.

France, really? Can't see it. Though the Euros is the tournament of upsets.

I can't see France winning out, but getting to the semis is possible. They have a very talented team but I haven't seen a really great performance from them, just a series of somewhat decent ones.
