Sweden Euro 2012 profile: Review of Sweden’s team, coach and more

Sweden have not failed to feature in any of the last three European Championships. However, they have a point to prove. Will they suffer yet another disappointing tournament in 2012?

How Sweden qualified for Euro 2012

Sweden could not quite match the Netherlands during the 2012 European Championship qualifiers. They suffered a total demolition against the Dutch when both sides met in Amsterdam in October 2010. A double from Huntelaar and Afellay forced Sweden to a miserable 4-1 loss. However, with wins against Moldova, Finland and San Marino, Sweden gathered enough points to make it to Euro 2012.
They finished with 24 points from 10 games, 3 points behind group winners Holland. Consequently, Sweden reached Poland-Ukraine as best runners-up in the qualification phase.

Who is Sweden’s coach?

Former Swedish international Erik Hamren will experience his first European Championship as Sweden coach. The 54-year-old manager, who was appointed in 2009, has a few honours in his cabinet. In the late 1990s, he led AIK to clinch the Svenska Cupen at two occasions. He emulated this feat in 2000 with Orgryte IS.
During his time at AaB Fodbold, Erik Hamren won the 2008 Danish Superliga Championship. He later joined Rosenborg BK and offered the club two Norwegian Premiere League Championship titles.
During Euro 2012, the 2008 Danish Football Manager of the Year and 2009 Norwegian Football Manager of the Year is biggest challenge in his coaching career.

Who is Sweden’s key player?

Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Ibrahimovic will shoulder Sweden’s responsibilities during Euro 2012 as the captain of his country’s national team. Possibilities are that he will crumble under too much pressure as football is not supposed to be a one-man team. Whether he flops or impresses, Zlatan Ibrahimovic will likely make the headlines in every match involving Sweden.

Goalkeepers: Par Hansson, Andreas Isaksson, Johan Wiland
Defenders: Mikael Antonsson, Andreas Granqvist, Mikael Lustig, Olof Mellberg, Jonas Olsson, Martin Olsson, Behrang Safari
Midfielders: Emir Bajrami, Rasmus Elm, Samuel Holmen, Kim Kallstrom, Sebastian Larsson, Anders Svensson, Pontus Wernbloom, Christian Wilhelmsson
Forwards: Johan Elmander, Tobias Hysen, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Markus Rosenberg, Ola Toivonen

Who are Sweden’s Euro 2012 group opponents?

Sweden qualified for the knock-out stages of the European Championship only once in their last three appearances. They enter their fourth straight UEFA Euro tournament with a little chance of surviving in Group D. France, England and even Ukraine could prove too hot to handle. However, football is a game of surprises.

“We are well, we are ready” - confident Spain boss Vicente del Bosque

The 2010 World Cup winning coach is convinced that his team find themselves in perfect shape to confront their group C blockbuster against Italy .

Vicente del Bosque affirmed to the press that he has already decided which eleven players will make up Spain´s starting eleven for their Euro 2012 opening fixture against Italy on Sunday. However, the coach has yet to make his squad or the public aware of this.
“We know the team, but the players don´t know it,“ stated Del Bosque, the coach who led Spain to their first World Cup triumph in 2010.
“We are well, we are ready to start the competition. We haven´t noticed that we are at the end of the season. We arrive at a good moment, we are looking forward to seeing what happens on the field.“

The coach then switched his attention to rivals Italy, a team which he highly respects: “Italy have changed, whether you look at their players or the ideas of their coach, and it will be a very hotly contested match. We will try to take the initiative, but it won´t be easy. Not too long ago they beat us in Bari, and because of this we have to play the match with everything that we´ve got.“
Del Bosque admitted that the game could have various scenarios, and he referred to what he expects come Sunday.
“We can talk about everything that we know from the national team up until now, and of their game style. We can´t predict what could happen. We will have to prepare ourselves in the best possible manner, in all aspects, tactically, to make the most of all of our virtues. It is a team based on Juventus and with players of great experience and quality,“ he explained.
Finally, the tactician stated that midfielder Andres Iniesta finds himself in “ideal form“ and that Spain will miss David Villa, who he refers to as being “the best striker of our history.“
European and world champions Spain come into Euro 2012 as the main candidates to win the competition, even if they will have to be at their very best to overcome Sunday´s opponents Italy, as well as the likes of Germany, England, France and the Netherlands further down the track.

Russia Euro 2012 profile: Review of Russia’s team, coach and more

After a successful UEFA Euro 2012 qualification campaign, the Sbornaya of Russia will be looking to conquer Europe in Poland and Ukraine.

 

How Russia qualified for Euro 2012

Russia played in the Euro 2012 qualifiers with open wounds from the agony of narrowly missing out on South Africa 2010. A couple of years ago, the Russians surprisingly lost to minnows Slovenia in the play-offs ahead of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. They vowed to bounce back by securing automatic qualification for Euro 2012.
Their resilience paid off. Russia fell in Group B with minnows like Andorra and Armenia. Macedonia, Slovakia and the Republic of Ireland completed the 6-team table. The Sbornaya conceded only 4 goals in 10 matches and lost only once; that was against Slovakia on the second day of the qualification campaign.
Russia’s 3-2 victory away to the Republic of Ireland on Matchday 3 proved vital. In the return leg in September 2011, the Russians only managed a goalless draw. However, that was more than enough to ensure they qualify above the Irish.
Russia terminated their UEFA Euro 2012 qualification road with a glorious 6-0 victory over Andorra on October 11 last year.

Who is Russia’s coach?

Dick Advocaat will spend his last moments with Russia’s national team during Euro 2012. Despite signing a 4-year contract with the Russians in May 2010, Advocaat is set to resign this summer. He has already signed a 1-year contract with PSV Eindhoven. He will officially join the Dutch club on July 1.
For now, the Russia coach must focus on getting his team as far as possible during Euro 2012. Dick Advocaat is popular in Russia for leading Zenit Saint Petersburg to Russian Premier League, Russian Super Cup and UEFA Super Cup glory between 2007 and 2008.
In 2008, he became the first foreigner since 1866 to be awarded the Honorary Citizen of St Petersburg. The national team players of Russia will try to offer Dick Advocaat a memorable farewell.

Who are Russia’s key players?

Andrei Arshavin
Andre Arshavin rose to fame 4 years ago when Russia enjoyed a remarkable Euro 2008 campaign. The competition triggered the midfielder’s move into the spotlight in the 2008 summer transfer window.
His stint with Arsenal on the domestic and European fronts has offered him huge experience.
With is loan move back to Zenith this year, Arshavin was able to increase his match fitness with 3 goals and 4 assists in 11 games. He will captain the Russian national team during Euro 2012.

Russia’s Euro 2012 squad

Goalkeepers: Igor Akinfeyev, Vyacheslav Malafeyev, Anton Shunin
Defenders: Alexander Anyukov, Alexei Berezutsky, Sergei Ignashevich, Roman Sharonov, Vladimir Granat, Kirill Nababkin

Greece Euro 2012 profile: Review of Greece’s team, coach and more

Euro 2004 surprise champions Greece will be looking to prove a point to the continent’s giants when Euro 2012 kicks off in June.

 

How Greece qualified for Euro 2012

Match by match, Greece played to prove that they deserve a spot in this year’s UEFA European Championship in Poland and Ukraine. They are one of the few teams to have qualified with an unbeaten record.
Group F runners-up Croatia pushed the Greeks to the wall. In 10 matches, the latter snatched 7 victories and drew thrice. With this formidable record during the qualifiers, Greece cruised to a top spot finish.
The defining moment was on Matchday 9 when they clinched a vital 2-0 win at home to Croatia. Georgios Samaras and Theofanis Gekas scored within the last 20 minutes of the match. The Greeks maintained their 2-point lead in the final round of matches with a 2-1 win away to Georgia.

Who is Greece’s coach?

Portuguese manager Fernando Santos will guide the nation that inflicted sorrow on his home country back in 2004. The former FC Porto, Sporting Lisbon and Benfica coach has huge experience in Greek football. Fernando Santos managed AEK Athens during the 2001/02 season then moved to Panathinaikos the following year. He returned to AEK Athens in 2004 and left a couple of years later.
Just before getting the Greece job in 2010, the 57-year-old coach was at PAOK. The 2002 Greek Cup is Fernando Santos’ only piece of silverware in Greece. However, the two-time Portuguese SuperCup winning manager has the confidence of Greek fans. Ahead of Euro 2012, Fernando Santos is entrusted to build the best squad and continue what he started in the qualifiers.

Who are Greece’s key players?

Greece do not centre their game on one player but in the absence of APOEL’s Dionisis Chiotis, any goalkeeper will come under pressure to perform during Euro 2012. Chiotis did not make the cut in Fernando Santos’ provisional man squad at the surprise of many.
Meanwhile, Samaras played an important role during the qualifiers and should receive help in attack from Atromitos’ Kostas Mitroglou.

Greece’s Euro 2012 squad

Goalkeeepers: Kostas Chalkias, Michalis Sifakis, Alexis Tzorvas

Forwards: Georgios Samaras, Dimitris Salpigidis, Costas Mitroglou, Nikos Liberopoulos, Theofanis Gekas

Who are Greece’s Euro 2012 group opponents?

Greece will compete against co-hosts Poland, Russia and the Czech Republic. Group A looks like a section where each participating nation has an equal chance of qualifying for the knock-out stages.

This summer’s event will mark Poland’s first ever hosting of the European Championship.

Who is Poland’s coach?

Only a few football fans may know of Franciszek Smuda but the 63-year-old is actually one of the most experienced managers alive.

Smuda spent part of his life in the USA where he represented Vistula Garfield, Oakland Stompers, Los Angeles Aztecs and San Jose Earthquakes.

The illustrious Polish man had long been linked with the Poland national team job. In October 2009, Franciszek Smuda finally became Poland’s coach.

What does Poland’s Euro 2012 history say?

Poland did not qualify for European Championship football until 2008 when Austria and Switzerland co-hosted the competition. They suffered disappoint in their debut as they crashed out in the first round.
Euro 2012 will see Poland participate in their second consecutive European Championship. Having qualified as co-hosts, they will be out to upset giants with the help of their home supporters. In the 1970s and in the 1980s, Poland were a bigger force in world football.
During that period, they won a couple of FIFA World Cup bronze medals, 1 Summer Olympics gold medal and 1 Summer Olympics silver medal. The current generation of players could make their nation proud again during Euro 2012.
