    Interesting that Holland have the (3rd) highest number of shots but the lowest number of goals.

    Do they normall play with one up front and lots of shots from midfield, this is portugals problem too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,643 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    Winners: Spain

    Top scorer: Fernando Torres

    Surprise package of the tournament: Croatia


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 589 ✭✭✭vincenzo1975


    Eduardo is a huge loss for Croatia, I dont think they can perform as well without him.

    I think it will be from Germany Portugal and France, the big shock will be Italy falling in the first round in my opinion.

    I just hope that Portugal have a striker that can score goals(the weakness in the past) and that Benzema and Torres get their fair share of games. Benzema could be pushed to the sidelines by the Anelka/Henry partnership.

    Spain ftw {like every competition before :/}

    Klose == Golden Boot.

    Is that because Dirk Kuyt plays for them :)

    I think Portugal might win this one.
    I would love Torres to be top scorer but i think it will be a French player....il go with Anelka, can see one or two of those matches involving Turkey or Poland being a crazy 4-3 or a 4-0 game or something. Theres usually some player who gets a hat full of goals in a game like that who wins.

    I'm a bit surprised that Germany are favourites, i'd go for Italy if they get out of the group, if not Spain.
    Klose to be top scorer


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,746 ✭✭✭Drag00n79


    Winner: Germany
    Top Scorer: Klose


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,778 ✭✭✭✭Kold


    Germany
    Torres

    Portugal

    Ronaldo

    Wouldn't be too surprised to see Romania get out of the Group of Death with Italy. I reckon France will be beaten by them in the first game.
