Euro 2012 Teams

Defending champions Spain head into the tournament looking to retain the title they won back in 2008. Managed by Vicente del Bosque, Spain are widely considered the best team in the world, and it comes as no surprise that they were most people's ante-post favourites to win Euro 2012. However, they will face stiff competition from Germany who are always a threat in major tournaments, France, England and Italy will also be gunning for glory.

England, so often underachievers in major tournaments, will be looking to prove that they can at last channel the huge expectation and pressure into positive energy. The Three Lions have assembled a decent combination of youth and experience but the absence of star player Wayne Rooney for the first two matches could ultimately prove costly.

European Championship Odds

Euro 2012 will be the 14th European Championships since the tournament was first played in 1960 in France. Spain head into into the tournament as the warm favourites in the Euro 2012 Odds to retain their title and win what would be their third major tournament in succession.

As always Germany feature strongly in the betting as do rivals Holland. Both countries have fallen victim to Spain in major tournament finals of late and will be desperate to go one step better this time round. France and Italy are also in contention, while England and Portugal will be hoping to add their name to the list of European Championship Winners.
