Euro 2012 Qualifying Preview: All Predictions, One Post

Over the last day, the SB Nation Soccer Desk has had eleven posts dedicated to getting you up-to-speed on Euro 2012 qualifying, which started in earnest at 11:00 a.m. Eastern this morning. I took a brief look at all 51 nations and gave predictions for each group.

Yes, I was foolish enough to try and predict a result 14 months out. Please take them with a grain of salt.

But still take them. All the predictions in one place, plus links, after the jump:

Group A

1. Germany

2. Belgium

3. Turkey

4. Austria

5. Azerbaijan

6. Kazakhstan

Group B

1. Russia

2. Republic of Ireland

3. Slovakia

4. Republic of Macedonia

5. Armenia

6. Andorra

Group C

1. Serbia

2. Italy

3. Slovenia

4. Northern Ireland

5. Estonia

6. Faroe Islands

Group D

1. Bosnia and Herzegovina

2. France

3. Belarus

4. Romania

5. Albania

6. Luxembourg

Group E

1. Netherlands

2. Sweden

3. Finland

4. Hungary

5. Moldova

6. San Marino

Group F

1. Croatia

2. Israel

3. Greece

4. Latvia

5. Georgia

6. Malta

Group G

1. England

2. Switzerland

3. Bulgaria

4. Wales

5. Montenegro

Group H

1. Denmark

2. Portugal

3. Norway

4. Cyprus

5. Iceland

Group I

1. Spain

2. Czech Republic

3. Lithuania

4. Scotland

5. Liechtenstein

So much can change during a qualifying cycle, particularly during that huge gap between the November and March breaks. But with the picks being all in good fun, it will be interesting to look back on this post next October and ask "Bosnia and Herzegovina?"

Iran thought they had advanced to the 2026 FIFA World Cup knockout round. A less frequent aspect of the offside law disallowed the winning goal.
