EPL predictions

European soccer is back. I have not had much success predicting standings, but here is how I think the EPL will stack up this year: 1)Manchester United, 2)Manchester City, 3)Chelsea, 4)Liverpool, 5)Tottenham, 6)Arsenal, 7)Newcastle

Euro 2012 picks are starting to come in. I haven't looked at anyone's picks yet, and I have posted mine above just so y'all know there is no funny business. I'm not too confident about Group A, but I still like my chances.

Euro 2012! Group B is a nightmare - I have no idea how that is going to shape up. I am once again rooting for La Furia Roja to win it all!

Champion's League Final

So once again my European league and Champion's League predictions have been way off, but I am fairly confident that Bayern will beat Chelsea tomorrow (my prediction: 2-0). I think I will be rooting for Chelsea for the first time in my life. On to the European Cup next! I will put together a betting pool for Euro 2012.

Champions League quarterfinals

Here are the quarterfinal matchups (and my picks in parentheses):

Real Madrid vs. APOEL (Real Madrid)
Olympique de Marseille vs. Bayern Munich (Bayern)
Benfica vs. Chelsea (Chelsea)
AC Milan vs. Barcelona (Barcelona)

My predictions for the semifinals:
Real Madrid over Bayern Munich
Barcelona over Chelsea

Championship:
Barcelona over Real Madrid

La Liga is the better than the Bundesliga, Serie A, and the EPL (for example, Athletic Club Bilboa just dominated Man United in Europa League). Barcelona one of the best all time (despite the fact that they are going to finish second in La Liga).
