Holland, Germany, are Favorites in Euro 2012 "Group of Death"

13:28, June 9, 2012

There are two Euro 2012 match-ups in Group B today: Holland v. Denmark and Germany v. Portugal.

Group B has been nicknamed the “group of death” and for good reason.  All four teams have excellent chances of winning the whole shebang.

One might have some reservations about the Danes, but we must not forget that Denmark won the tournament in 1992; and they weren’t even considered the favorites back then.

The Dutch have won a European championship jus the one time – in 1988. The Germans have walked away with 3 championships.

Bookmakers are giving the advantage to Holland ad Germany in today’s games.
