First of all, for those of you who fall into this category, Happy Father’s Day. No matter whether you’re a father or not, it’s going to be a wonderful Sunday with two massive matches today — Germany against Denmark, and Netherlands versus Portugal. Two nations will progress to the quarterfinals. Two will go home.

Everyone expects the Germans to win today against Denmark, so where’s the fun in that? But between Portugal and Netherlands, expect one of the two major soccer countries to exit Euro 2012 after today. Will it be Portugal, led by captain Cristiano Ronaldo? Or will it be the ego-driven Netherlands team who are filled with so much talent?

Before, during and after today’s matches, post your rants, raves, questions and observations in the comments section below.
