Following my recent preview about Euro 2008, I’m trying to talk about group B in here. Group B is the weakest group and the debutante group because Poland & Austria will make a debut in Euro Cup since it’s been healed in 1960. The only team that ever won Euro Cup is Germany “The Panzer”. They accompanied by “England Conqueror” Croatia, “The Not So Good” Poland, & “The Unfavorable Co Host” Austria.
First, The Favorable Germany. Germany, led by Michael Ballack who’s having a great season with Chelsea will once again try to reach the top after a good performance in World Cup 2006. The squad is still the same minus Oliver Kahn who’s retiring. The coach is not the same. But Joachim Loew is having a great moment in the team with inheritance from Juergen Klinsmann. Germany is better known as a tournament team. They have a great mentality that will take them to glory. The only weakest link is in the back. Germany only has 2 great centres back which one of them is Christoph Metzelder who’s having a tough time with his injury.
Croatia, the team who makes people the entire world amazed when they beat England in Wembley will try to prove that they are becoming a great team now in Slaven Bilic’s hand. Croatia will become Germany main enemy. With Their players who have magnificent skills such as Luka Modric, Niko Kovac, & Niko Kranjcar, I think Croatia will make a surprise in this tournament. But unfortunately, Eduardo Da Silva,Croatian top scorer in the qualification is ruled out months ago with a horrible injury.
Next is the co-host who will make their first appearance in the Euro Cup, Austria. Austria is the most unfavorable team in Euro. It’s because they don’t have a star player who can lead them. They also don’t have a tournament mentality and in a lot of warm up matches, they fail to make a good impression. Now, they can only hope that the fans will give them a big spirit to get through this group.
Last is Poland. Another debutante team. They only have Ebi Smolarek to count on. Besides that they just an average team that get lucky in the qualification. Nothing special in this team. Leo Beenhakker, the veteran coach will have to do harder if he wants Poland to pass this group.
Who will get through?? My money is on Germany & Croatia.
