Comparison

Spain are the well fancied second favourites and many peoples tip for the tournament at odds of 11/2. They have only won the the Championships once before and are known as being perenial under achievers in major competitions but heading in to Euro 2008, they have as good a squad as any other team in the tournament and if they hit form they will be hard to stop.

Many people will be looking towards Group C to provide the eventual winner with Italy, France, Holland and Romania making up the socalled 'group of death'. Current World Champions Italy, along with France, who they beat in the World Cup final two years ago are the two teams fancied to progress through to the last eight and are odds of 7/1 and 8/1 respectively to go on to win the final. That would mean Holland would be heading home early, but Marco van Basten's squad is packed with talent and cannot be ruled our of contention and at odds of 14/1 to win Euro 2008 they are sure to ave plenty of supporters.

Another team who will be a popular selection on many betting slips are Portugal. Beaten finalists in 2004, Felipe Scolari's side are sure to have a point to prove and with Cristiano Ronaldo in the team, they are capable of once again goign all the way at odds of 7/1. Ronaldo is in great form and heads to the tournament on the back of an English Premier League and Champions League double and can be backed to be the top Euro 2008 goalscorer at odds of 9/1. German striker Miroslav Klose and Fernando Torres of Spain are also 9/1 to win the golen boot.

With several teams holding decent chances of winning Euro 2008, the best way to enjoy all the action is to have bet. And whilst opinions on the eventual winner are sure to be split, the only certainty is that a thrilling tournament awaits.
