As Spain were crowned World Champions in Johannesburg, the curtain fell on the first World Cup Tournament to be staged in Africa. European sides obtained a 1-2-3 with Spain beating Netherlands in the final in addition to Germany getting 3rd place with a 3-2 victory over Uruguay.

This just reinforces the argument that European football is the most effective globally and that the European Championships are a superb tournament. Qualifiers for the Euro 2012 finals starts out in Sept and although finishing 3rd, Germany are likely to be amongst the favourites to lift the trophy. Their young squad provided some amazing football through the World Cup Tournament with Thomas Muller winning lifting the Golden Boot with 5 goals and 3 assists. With additional young stars like Ozil, Boateng and Kediera, Germany will be without doubt one of the ones to look out for.

As current World and European champions, Spain will undoubtedly be yet another really difficult adversary. Almost all of their players will still be young enough in 2012 to give tough opposition and they should be eager to defend their title.At last the Netherlands was able to leave their personal egos behind at the World Cup tournament and as a result, they got to their third World Cup final conquering a lot of peoples favourite, Brazil, on the way. With better finishing from Robben, Holland might possibly have won the match as opposed to Spain and they will hope to keep going in the same vein throughout Euro 2012.

The typically strong teams of France, England and Italy all failed miserably in South Africa and thus, the curtain will certainly come down on a good number of of the older footballers careers. England have quite a few exceptional young players to bring to the international stage and if they can copy Germany, there will be considerable hopes among the English fans.

The Euro 2012 host nations of Poland and Ukraine will both have great support but in due course, they most probably accomplish not have the quality to seriously challenge for the title.
