With only four teams left in Euro 2012, there are two clear favourites for the Golden Boot award of top goalscorer – Mario Gomez of Germany and Cristiano Ronaldo of Portugal. Gomez and Ronaldo both have three goals, but Gomez is marginally favourite to end up top goalscorer at a top price of 2/1 (bet £1 to win £2) with Boylesports and Blue Square. Mario Gomez’s chances were weakened by being rotated against Greece in the quarter-final, along with Thomas Muller and Lukasz Podolski, but it is though that that […]

Not less interesting and who knows if not the most interesting in the second round will be the match between the Dutch and Germans. In their first match at Euro 2012 the Dutch have shown a very weak shape and were defeated by Danish team scoring 0-1. As you can see, the names don’t play and such stars as Robben or Van Persi weren’t able to cope with Danish squad, whose ranking standing is much lower. The Germans are traditionally in a good shape while playing in top rank tournaments. […]

Hardly anybody had expected that after the first match against Holland the Danes would have 3 points on their account. But they managed it! In duel with Oranje, the Olsen team’s defense played like during a concert; in consequence, they were rewarded by acquisition of complete set of points and their prospects to advance from their group are favorable. But can they really be sure of this? Let’s consider the next rival of Danish team, i.e. the squad of Portugal. They lost in turn their first match at Euro 2012 […]

Those who had expected a hit, must be disappointed. After a weak game in Donetsk the French achieved a draw against England scoring 1:1 and it is difficult to believe, that those teams will be able to reach the European championships semifinal. If somebody considered the French medal candidates, after the yesterday’s match he knows that he was wrong. The coach Laurent Blanc was right while asking after eliminations not to expect wonders from him. There were moments when his players didn’t seem to be a football team at all. […]

In Group D the fans will be watching a classical match between France and England. Les Bleus, the 16th team in FIFA ranking will measure their strength with Sons of Albion who in that ranking are on position seven. It is very difficult to foresee in what shape players of both teams will arrive at the tournament. At some of the previous events of this kind they accustomed their fans to very unstable play. Both French and English have won their elimination groups. The expectations of both teams’ fans are […]

Stuart Lancaster insists he is looking forward to his England side taking on the might of the South Africans in the upcoming three-match Test series.

England have lost their last seven Tests against the Springboks and are 9/4 with bookmaker to win the f…

Co-hosts are hoping Borussia Dortmund’s Lukasz Piszczek, Jakub Blaszczykowski and Robert Lewandowsk can reproduce their club success on the international stage It is a paradox of football that the hosts of a tournament can enjoy a low profile. Attention will, of course, soar when Poland take the field against Greece in the opening match of Euro 2012, but Franciszek Smuda’s side can be pleased that they have only provided meagre information for their opponents. The same can be said of the co-hosts Ukraine, yet it is Poland who could be […]

Wayne Rooney insists England can surprise everyone and win Euro 2012, despite low expectations heading into the tournament.

England, who are 14/1 with bookmaker to triumph on 1st July, head into the European Championships with a new boss and without a l…

Fernando Santos claims that at Euro he would have the best defense from all teams participating in the tournament. The ill-considered statement of „Hellas” head coach has already caused a lot of confusion below the Acropolis. Fernando Santos blurted out that during Euro he would have at his disposal the best defense from all teams taking part in the tournament. Pictures with his silhouette immediately appeared on all colorful covers of the country’s largest magazines. Even the Greeks, who are considered to be excessively optimistic, didn’t believe in the declarations […]
