EURO 2012 is Heating up!!

As the end nears, the Euro 12 becomes more interesting and tougher. We saw some upsets of the Dutch and maybe France and Russia who had a point to proof. We saw some surprises by the Greece and new Spain whom not many thought would make it this far.  Spain was questionable due to many changes from the previous Euro and World cup winning squads. They also lacked some key guys who would pose a great threat to defenders upfront, for instance David Villa.

Portugal and Spain will be an interesting game!! The last time these two teams played, Portugal demolished the World Champions-Spain-by 4 goals to 1!! In that game each team had its best squad but Portugal outclassed Spain. In this tournament, Spain has been excellent so far playing relaxed and well crafted football. Unfortunately some people see it as Boring football. Really??? Portugal has hustled their way through into the semi finals and their best player seem to have picked up the pace and urgency. The Flashy and Menace Cristano Ronaldo might be a really tough task for Spain. Portugal just like Spain is playing really well as a team, ask the Dutch!! It'll be a really competitive match but I think Portugal wants it more than Spain, however, Spain seems to be on historical mission, defending the Euro trophy to keep company the World cup trophy in the cabinet.

Germany Vs Italy!!! Two great teams and whoever wins between these two will win it all!! Each team have some key players to rely on for big GOALS and plays!! Germany has Klose, Neuer and Podolski while Italy has Buffon, Pirlo and Balotelli. Both teams are well rounded, from defense through midfield to attacking. After beating England in the penalty shout-out, Italy looks the favorite to make it to the finals. Germany beat Greece but not without Greece fighting back. Germany better work on their defense because the Italian attackers are hungry for goals. Watch out for Mario because he wouldn't wanna ask "why me?", if he misses several scoring chances.  Germany would have more days of rest, so they might be ready to give it all!! Sorry to say they might be a little rusty. Another tough game but I think Italy is more prepared for it than Germany.
