Germany To Win?
Filed Under Euro 2008 |
Micheal Ballack may know something we don’t know but that is unlikely and I just think he is on a power trip. He has announced that he will be in top form after being able to play with Chelsea for the past couple of months. Now although playing will Chelsea did really help Ballack, it was nothing near enough to get him prepared to get Germany the trophy. He’s only 31 years old so he isn’t really that old compared to some of the other players we talked about who will be playing in the tournament, but Ballack has been dealing with an ankle injury that keeps coming back. Now with this constant injury a threat to end his tournament quickly I’m sure there will be some close calls. I don’t think he will become injured in the tournament but I also don’t believe his remarks of saying Germany is ready to win it all.
Germany has had some close calls in the past and although they’ve been close to glory before it was always cut short as it should have and I got a feeling it will again. The German squad is by no means a team that can’t compete with the world but there are definitely a few teams that won’t be able to keep up with. So depending on when they meet them in the tournament will determine when the Germans make an exit. Unless Ballack pulls off a miracle and can upset the favorites of this years tournament then don’t count on it German fans.
Qualifying was good for the Germans and they seem to be in good form right now to make it deep into the tournament but not win it. A lot of people have the Germans as the favorites to win the tournament but I think there wrong completey on this assumption and I think that Italy or Spain will win.
Spain never wins any tournament,it´s just like Portugal.
Italy,Germany,France are my favorites.
Russia,Spain and Portugal are directly after them.
This year will be the year of Romania! They are the most compact/united team in the championship and that will pay off. Key players like Mutu, Chivu, Lobont will make the difference. Germany hasn’t shown nothing, the Dutch had huge luck in their two matches so far, it seemed like every shot was a goal, every oponent was drunk or something…
The only one I see going the distance here is Croatia because they also have unity and they fight each game.
All in all it is probably the best EURO so far so let’s be happy that we can enjoy it!
Good luck to all and may the best win.
Germany and spain are both awesome. It will be exciting but I believe Germany will win. Probably because they have a height advantage.
