Euro 2012 simulation of possible groups

The Euro 2012 group draw is upon us this week, with the draw taking place on Friday in Kiev. The Euro is always one of the toughest tournaments to win and this edition will be no different.

We decide to take a look at what the groups could look like through our own simulation and this is what we got.

First Simulation

Group A: Poland, Italy, Sweden, France

Group B: Netherlands, Russia, Greece, Ireland

Group C: Spain, Germany, PORTUGAL, Denmark

Group D: Ukraine, England, Croatia, Czech Republic

What we see in our first simulation is that Portugal has been place in the "Group of Death" facing the defending champs, the second favoured Germans and the country that defeated them in the Group Stage of qualifying.

Second Simulation

Group A: Poland, England, PORTUGAL, Denmark

Group B: Netherlands, Russia, Croatia, Ireland

Group C: Spain, Italy, Sweden, Czech Republic

Group D: Ukraine, Germany, Greece, France

The Portuguese avoid the group of death but barely but would find themselves in tough with the hosts, the English and a Danish side that just keeps joining us in group stages.

One thing is for certain, no matter where Portugal find themselves come Friday, the Euro 2012 will be one tough tournament.
