Now is time for Legends to be created

For the team, or the player who rises above, a timeless hero will be born. I can almost feel how badly each of these teams want to give their nations something to celebrate wildly about, as many of these nation's people are struggling through a European economic crisis.

Mike's Picks

(The second photo at top of article shows the visual version of my picks).  

I love underdogs and hope for surprises ahead, but Germany and Spain are the favorites.

QUARTERFINALS

• Portugal v. Czech Republic
  Very tough call, I think Christiano Ronaldo and Portugal will win.
  
• Spain v France
  Spain definitely favored.   France has not been consistent.
   
• Germany v Greece
  Germany could blow Greece out.  Greek victory would be biggest upset of Quarterfinals.
   
• England v Italy
  Should be tight.  England playing well, though. England advances.

SEMIFINALS

• Portugal v Spain
  Spain as a "team" system are so tough.  Sorry Christiano Ronaldo.
• Germany v England.
  This could be a classic match.  I have to give the nod to Germany.

CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH:  July 1st

Germany v Spain

This would be a repeat of 2008 Euro final, which Spain won (see short Youtube video of 2008 winning goal).  I have to go with SPAIN, which would make them the first team ever to win the three-peat: Euro 2008, World Cup 2010, and Euro 2012!  Uno, Dos, Tres!

July 1st Forecast for Madrid:  Mucho Celebrando! El campeones de futbol :)

How about you?  

Whom would you pick?  Whom would you *like* to see win?
