I think The Draw couldn't have gone better! :thumb:
excitment from the first day. it seems fixed in a way!
no doubt that group D is a killer with rivalries between each of the top 3 teams
Germany - Holland : no need to explain

Holland - Czech Rep. : the Czech have been kicking Dutch ass for a quite a while. They seem to meet in every competition and qualifying competitions.
Czech Rep. - Germany: The 1996 Finalists.
Poor Latvia.....they have no chance in their debut, but i think they will be VERY decisive in deciding who goes threw to the next round.
They're the group "FVcker-uper" if you will!

They are capable of pulling off a draw with ones of the teams. that team will be the one to crash out.
What's also interesting is that every team will try to score as many as they can against Latvia to increases chances of going threw in an equal points case.
.......
Group A: Spain- Portugal. Arch Rivals. Kinda like the European mini Argentina-Brazil.
Group B: France against England. the two nations have fought for a long time in wards on land, at sea, and now they'll go for it again on the field.
Group C:
Italy's group is not so different (on paper) than their Euro 2000 group.
Euro 2004 ----> Euro 2000
Denmark ---> Belgium
Sweden ---> Sweden
Bulgaria ---> Turkey
