Winners: Italy
Why? Because every time there is a major betting scandal in the country, the national team wins a major tournament (1982 and 2006). Besides, Italy is based mostly on Juventus players, which haven’t lost a league game this season. Italy will probably be more cohesive than other teams because of the Juve factor.
Surprise Package: Poland
Well, it won’t be a big surprise if the home team succeeds but I think that they could even go all the way to the final. With a coach that loves to be the underdog and three players from Bundesliga champions, Borussia Dortmund – Poland can do a “South Korea”.
Best player of the tournament: Giorgio Chiellini
Goalkeepers and Defenders are going to make the difference in an international tournament full of knackered players. Giorgio Chiellini of Italy is in the right age and position to lead his national team’s defence.
Golden Boot: Karim Benzema
Ukraine, England and Sweden will have to keep an eye on a very diverse French attack. Benzema, with the knowledge he gained playing for Jose Mourinho – can take full advantage of this. Besides, Since Laurent Blanc took over, Benzema has scored more goals & created more assists than anyone else in France.
The goal of the tournament: Mesut Özil
The German magician doesn’t score loads of goals but when he does they are usually a result of a great team play and his exceptional technique. So get ready for a 20 pass move that will end with a Messi-esque finish by Özil.
Embarrassing Moment of the Tournament: Roy Hodgson
Something embarrassing will happen to England. For sure.
Goal celebration of the tournament: Andy Caroll
The big striker will celebrate his only goal of the tournament with something crazy and stupid he pre-planned with the lads. You can put your money on that.
Meltdown of the Tournament: Cristiano Ronaldo
Frustrated by losses to Germany and Denmark, CR7 will throw a hissy fit against frustrating Holland.
Miss of the Tournament: Nicklas Bendtner
No further information needed.
Penalty miss of the Tournament: Arjen Robben
No further information needed.
4 out of the 5 worst referee mistakes of all time were against England, in favor of England or had an English referee involved in them. I bet that nothing will change. This time: Two clear penalties will not be given to England but a ghost-goal that came from an offside position will be scored against the Three Lions.
