With the 2012 Euro about to kick off, there has been a lot of questions about who are the favourites. There are a few teams who have been showing great form of late and pose a great challenge for the cup. The current holders and world cup winners Spain always pose a threat but with injuries to key players they might have a tough time. The Netherlands who have been in devastating form will be definite favourites. The usuals like France, Italy, Portugal, Germany and previous winners Greece all have a great chance of making the finals.
There may be some wild cards who could upset a lot of the big teams. Teams like hosts Ukraine, Sweden, The Czech Republic and Russia could pose more of a threat than the big teams give them credit. England hangs in the balance between favourite and a disappointment which they have been over recent years. With new coach Roy Hodgson at the helm, who is more concerned with having a clean sheet than scoring goals could cause problems for them. Going up against some of the most attacking minded teams in the world could be their downfall should they continue with their current strategy.
