Five stories in the 2012 European Championship

Jeff Carroll broke a big story, in the 2012 European Championship.

World Cup may be the world's largest international football party, but the most difficult? This honor is awarded the European Football Championship, affectionately known as the 2012 European Championship with the current version.
Yes, the game has their favorite among the powers, Spain, Germany, the Netherlands and Italy. However, this quality, in-depth in this competition, the euro is not above outliers sneak into and steal the trophy. This is the title eight years ago, all the way to the upstart Greek road maintenance and coping strategies. 12 years ago, Denmark, a team of players known as Yugoslavia was expelled from their summer vacation, after the civil war, shocked Germany's favorite to win the crown.
This version, complete the death of an end to all the Group of death Group - Germany, the Netherlands, Portugal and Denmark - will no doubt provide the share of drama and quality. With this in mind, here is carried out in accordance with the game story.
A. Spain will enter the history books?
Shares more than the opportunity to become the first repeat of the European championship. Spain - the defending World Cup champion - may also become the first team in three consecutive international competitions require.
Is not it?Much depends on the form and health of its strike force. Villa is still racing, and his recovery time in December sustained a leg fracture. Torres' struggles have been well documented in the Champions League semi-final, despite Chelsea clinched the target. This may force the manager Bosque rely on untested Valencia striker Soldado or Athletic Bilbao striker Fernando Llorente - Height 6 feet 4, will give the team attack elements - Spain unparalleled work is completed.
The crew claimed that the two European World Cup in 2008 and 2010, Xavi, Alonso, Iniesta, Puyol, Casillas hand more. Group C also includes the path of the semi-finals in Italy, Ireland, Croatia, the team appeared to navigation. There is no doubt at this point, the goal of creating history will become more difficult.
Two. Ronaldo to shine on the international stage last?
The Portuguese star, finishing off a brilliant season, the club, one could see him add another gold medal of the European Champions League, he is almost certain that the Real Madrid won the La Liga crown. His 54 goals - and counting - point to a player in his power peak.
Rare moments when he has been on the international stage performance, however. His only goal in the 2010 World Cup in North Korea 7-0 romp. The rest of that game is disappointing.
Of course, experienced similar criticism of Ronaldo, Real Madrid face Barcelona, but the game winner in the Super Derby April 21 slayed Finally, the devil. His two goals in a 6-2 postseason play, maybe Ronaldo is his power, as well as at the international level, to eliminate the vestiges of Bosnia - Herzegovina.
The more important question is whether Ronaldo's team have enough quality to make him shine. The defense looks solid enough, and Nani on the opposite flank of Portugal's attack to provide some much-needed balance. But again, the Portuguese seem short of forward options. This weakness, along Germany, Denmark and the Group B into the brutal resettlement combination of the Netherlands may also prevent replication in major international competition, he was electric club form of Ronaldo.
3. Speaking of death group
Opinion, as long as the draw of major events after the announcement, a group of slap in the face with the death of the label group. In this case, the label unfair Unfortunately, four in Group B, although in the FIFA world rankings should pinch your favorite seasoning, in this case, they directed. All four teams currently ranked the top ten. Denmark, it is assumed in the weak group participants, currently ranked ninth and Portugal, the Netherlands, fourth, fifth and Germany's second.
For reasons beyond the rankings, Germany and the Netherlands are the favorites to go through. Germany, the young genius of attack stability, including Mesut Ozil, Thomas Muller and Toni Kroos, should progress. But this kind of talent, not available elsewhere is nothing that can be taken for granted group. Netherlands just enjoy that can win the 2010 World Cup final, its own form of the game and Arsenal striker Robin van Persie. Above Ronaldo for Portugal reason to believe that it can survive, Denmark has been greater than it is an integral part of a team.
Then, once the group stage after the end of the emergence of the team for their trial or tension encountered weaken the energy at the beginning of their knockout stage? It will make compelling viewing, no matter what happens.

“Spain – the reigning World Cup champions – can also become the first team to claim three international tournaments in a row.”

4.IL trap ", the country of his birth
Early in the sweepstakes before December, the Ireland manager Giovanni Trapattoni no secret of his desire to avoid Italy, he managed in the 2002 World Cup and Euro 2004. So, of course, the God of football decided the two countries in the possible significance of the existence of group C with Spain, Italy, Ireland, Croatia, playing second, Trapattoni will need to come up with his former team, in the third and final The group stage to reach the knockout stage.
This is not the first time the two countries squared been, Italy in 2008 to take over Ireland. Team twice drew during the 2010 World Cup qualifiers, although it should be pointed out that Italy eventually punched their ticket in South Africa, while Ireland does not. Trapattoni now have the opportunity to return the favor.
5 The host to do proud of themselves?
Be said that Poland and Ukraine can not be compared to co-host in the previous game to do any deterioration - Switzerland and Austria - there is any one person has made the group stage, and their record is just a victory and a draw. Of course, the good people in the UEFA has done everything in their power to ensure that does not happen again this embarrassment. Along Greece, Russia, Czech Republic, Poland, have been drawn into a ridiculously easy. Ukraine has a little more work to do, France, Britain, Sweden, they will face up to.
Will it be enough? Poland will have hope, Dortmund striker Robert Lewandowski and midfielder Jakub Blaszczykowski flowers have enough left in the tank by the desired target. (Reporter spelling and pronunciation of his name, will not be sharp.) Ukraine will need to aging, 33-year-old midfielder Anatoly Tymoshchuk and iconic striker Andriy Shevchenko, 35, two in the next few The years roll.

An impressive reason, in any sense, it is a stadium, the grid but the son of Sike's leading football striker Andre 1974 Szarmach World Cup was proud to take center stage. Stadium, a country's energy suppliers named, is the best to reach the main railway station by tram 92 or 94.
