Euro 2012 - Poland

Euro 2010 is quickly approaching and qualification is still going on with all the 'big' teams on course to qualify. England should avoid another embarrassing non qualification, but you never know with teams like England whos form seems to be constantly changing from game to game. These Euro's should be an exciting tournament for all to watch with current World Cup champions Spain looking to add to their dominance by adding a second successive European Champions title to their honours after winning it in 2008. Germany will prove to be tough resilient opposition for anyone who faces them as they can field a young yet experienced side with many Bayern Munich players on the team with other class players such as Bastian Schweinsteiger to dictate the midfield. Italy will surely bounce back from their dismal World Cup campaign and they are showing they are capable of doing this by beating Spain in a friendly. France also suffered a shocking World Cup and performed far below their expectations and will too bounce back and find form for the Euro's as they look to fight back under new manager Laurent Blanc. England will probably field their new found starlets Tom Cleverly and Chris Smalling with the lethal combination of Rooney up front with Ashley Young supporting and possibly Adam Johnson also, England are one to really watch out for and they will be looking to abolish their reputation as 'tournament bottlers' as the current FIFA ranked number 4 team in the world  seek their first major honours for a long time. The Netherlands with their dominant and physical style of play will test teams such as Spain who are not really equipped for a physical battle as we saw in the World Cup Final where Spain ended up victors, but nevertheless the Netherlands will look to continue playing as they did throughout the whole tournament and should impress.

Does anyone have any thoughts on who will win Euro 2012? Lets hear your voices please!
