Forget about the octopus and elephant. Information technology has been brought into play to predict the winner of UEFA EURO 2012. Electronic Arts declared Germany the winner of UEFA EURO 2012 through a tournament simulation. Using its gameplay engine, EA SPORTS simulated the 2012 UEFA European Football Championship, testing all 16 teams in match conditions. It was determined that Germany will defeat Netherlands 2-1 at the Olympic Stadium in Kiev on July 1 to win The Henri Delaunay Trophy. Germany's path to the final included a 3-2 victory over Netherlands, a 3-1 victory over Poland and then a 1-0 defeat of Italy in the semi-final. EA SPORTS correctly predicted Chelsea would defeat Liverpool 2-1 to capture this year's FA Cup and Spain would win the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa. __
