Germany, Portugal and Holland have to battle it out in the a tough group for a place in the quarterfinals in Euro 2012 at Poland and Ukraine.

The draw has Poland, Czech Republic, Russia, and Greece in Group A. For Group B Germany, Netherlands, Portugal, and Denmark have to compete. it out while in Group C,
champions and World Champions Spain will have Italy, Ireland, and Croatia for company.

Group D comprises, France and England also joined by Sweden plus co-hosts Ukraine.

Ireland will open the tournament with a match against Croatia at Poznan for Group C.

Many of the best sports books will discuss this in detail however here here is a summary look at the teams that we fancy in order of preference to life next year’s trophy.
Germany – Joachim Loew’s young Germany should be the team to beat next June. They have the best goalkeeper in the world in the form of Manuel Neuer while
the defence is pretty balanced with Mats Hummels, Jerome Boateng, Philipp Lahm, and Per Mertesacker in the team.

The midfield has some of the most gifted youngsters like Mesut Ozil, Sami Khedira, Mario Goetze, and Toni Kroos
along with the experience of Bastian Schweinsteiger and Simon Rolfes.

In attack, Mario Gomez is one of the best in the business today and he will have the likes of Thomas Muller, Miroslav Klose, and Lukas Podolski to keep him company.

Spain – The defending champions are still recognized as the number one team by FIFA. However, some of their results in the past few months have not been encouraging.

Netherlands – They will love to get one over Spain after giving them a run for their money in the World Cup final last summer. They certainly have enough talent
in the team, but their defence is of concern, Expect the likes of Arjen Robben, Wesley Sneijder, Klaas Jan Huntelaar, and Robin van Persie to set the tournament on fire.

Fernando Torres looks faded as a strike force and David Villa celebrated his 30th birthday alreadyy. Carles Puyol and Xavi are not getting any younger either, but there is still
enough talent in this team to reclaim their crown – although it does not look to be certain at this moment in time

The bookmakers’ choices have also been coming out after the draw was announced with Russia and Czech Republic expected to go through from Group A.
Germany and Holland are fancied to qualify ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo led Portugal in a tight Group B which should produce some fine games. Spain and Italy are
favored to qualify from Group C while England and France should have it easy in Group D, although Ukraine can spring a surprise especially at home conditions.

This looks like a great matchup and should be as good as aSoccer worldcup.
