There are only traditional first-class football powers, such as Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Hoba, as well as traditional quasi-first-class powers. In recent years, Spain is the European champion of the golden generation.
The peaks of France and Italy have passed and come out. The remaining six countries:
England has Rooney, Shuangde and other big names and famous coach Capello. Who is the favorite to win the championship? Weaknesses are poor goalkeeper, poor central defender Terry, Rio Ferdinand injured, Kim injured, and lack of world-class arrow figures.
There are many young talents in Germany, but the disadvantage is that the coach does not pay enough attention to defense and lacks experienced old players.
The Netherlands has defeated the World Cup champion and the runner-up in the European Championship for two consecutive years, and its strength can be seen. This year is half a family (most white people in South Africa are Dutch). Top star Robben is in the limelight this season, and the coach has adopted pragmatic tactics focusing on defense, which has a very good prospect.
Spain is in the golden generation, with the strongest card, but not strong enough to win the European Cup and the World Cup in a row. The Swiss team has shown how to beat them.
Brazil is a big country with the richest football talent resources, but on the whole, this Brazilian team is too civilian, lacking world-class big names except Kaka and Robinho. However, Kaka's strength after moving to Real Madrid due to injury is not as good as when he was in Milan, and Robinho is also half red and not purple.
Argentine striker is the strongest, but the staffing in the center and backcourt is average. The central defender has to rely on a big colander like Demichelis, and the command level of head coach Diego Maradona is also average.
Judging from the group stage, Britain and Germany 16 will meet at 8 o'clock, which is bound to be a fierce battle between sworn enemies. Whoever wins will be greatly weakened, and the chance of touching Argentina at four o'clock is even smaller. Even if we can beat Argentina again, it is almost impossible for us to win against Spain in the semi-final.
Argentina will encounter one of Britain and Germany in the fourth quarter of August, and these two are also Argentina's old enemies, which will also be a fierce battle. Even if Argentina can win, it will be greatly weakened, and it is even less likely to meet Spain in the semi-final. Even if we can beat Spain again, everyone will die in the final and it is almost impossible to win.
For Spain, it will be a fierce battle to meet one of Britain, Germany and Afghanistan in the semi-final. Even if Spain wins, it will be greatly weakened.
Holland and Brazil will meet at 8 and 4. The winner will face one of South Korea, Uruguay or Ghana in the semi-final (it is not optimistic that the United States will enter the semi-final), so it should be easy to win. In the final, you will face Spain or Argentina, which has been badly hurt, and the possibility of winning is very high.
Therefore, as long as the Netherlands can beat Brazil 8-4, beat Spain in the final and lose the hat of the uncrowned king, there is still great hope.
