The expectations for the Spanish selection, could not be higher: after winning the 2010 World Cup and Euro 2008, is expected that Sapin continues here to show an excellent performance.
But of course not all good news: Puyol's injury, makes the selection lose one of the líders the resort which brings a major dilemma for the coach, who now has Sergio Ramos as the best choice to occupy the central defense, and an unknown to the right of the field.
As for the players available, they include some of the best players in the world, which were already familiar with these wanderings: not to mention that Del Bosque, is the coach who led the Spanish team to the title in 2010, and has the same philosophy and technique, to repeat this feat.
As for the group to which it belongs, despite the qualities of their opponents, the probabilities playing in favor of Spain.
Unfortunately, the league made by most players are signs of wear physical, which can greatly benefit the opponents.
The quality of players and the experience and respect for the coach, are factors which indicate that Spain will be able to get far in this championship.
Italy:
Italy is another team that are always expected to get far in these championships.
Unfortunately, the Italian national team has players with little experience in international competitions (two players on the list of pre-guests were from Division II), in addition to the lack of one-goal man - literally, always check a lot of goals - and highlighting only Di Natale 10 goals, and Cassano with 9.
It also remains in memory of all the disaster in the 2010 World Cup, which may overshadow the performance of players.
As for the physical problems of the players, there is nothing to worry about to pointing. In relation to Cesare Prandelli, the coach, despite never having won a title of relief, did a reasonably good job at Fiorentina, and after being chosen as the Italian coach, passed a strict code of conduct that allowed the selection to qualify without major problems.
Other positive aspects to highlight are the capacity that the Italian national team has to manage different situations (whether favorable or adverse) and defensive solidity - the main asset of the Italian national team - with just two goals suffered in ten meetings.
Croatia:
Croatia is another team that has surprised at the European Championships.
As for the players, the injuries of Dejan Lovren (the great figure of the defense) and Niko Kranjcar (a great asset in midfield), prevented them from being in top physical condition.
In the attack, after the departure of the great figure of Davor Suker, the team still needs a replacement for that position.
Despite the great experience of many of their players, which is allied to the ambition and enthusiasm of the younger players, the truth is that the croatian selection not have any player who is able to highlight and allow the public to believe that in a successful performance on the croatian team.
The great point in favor of the Croatian selection, is their team spirit, which can maintain the level and concentration even when things start going badly for the team.
Republic of Ireland:
According to the historical background of the team of Ireland, this is the selection with less chance of success of this group.
The great Irish selection problem is even the poor quality of the midfield, led by Giovanni Trapattoni, who can not keep up the quality of defense and attack.
This is the second time that Ireland is present in the European championships: in 1988, narrowly failing to qualify from the group stage.
Despite having made a good qualifying round because of the strong team spirit, willpower will not be enough, so that Ireland continues to have success. The great problem of selection is the lack of flexibility of the team, to play successfully with other tactical models that which is familiar for them.
Poor adaptation to new game situations, it may be a weakness that players can enjoy fine.
The coach, Giovanni Trapattoni, has a history of good results, worthy of note. As for the route with fewer goals suffered, shows that score against Ireland will certainly not be easy
