The Euro 2008 has finally got underway.  It opened up on Saturday and it will last until the end of June.  There are a variety of different countries being represented in this year’s Euro 2008 odds.  Each nation has its strong points and weak points and many talented players.  There can only be one winner, and I think that it will be Germany this year.  They have one of the best squads out there and are one of the Euro 2008 odds favorites to take home the hardware this year. 

Germany opened up the tournament on Saturday with an impressive 2-0 win over Poland.  They looked to be a much stronger team as they scored early in the 20th minute to claim a 1-0 lead.  Youngster and rising star Lukas Podolski had the first goal and Germany never looked back.  Poldolski plays for FC Bayern Munchen and has a very impressive resume.  He also notched Germany’s second goal to give them the 2-0 win.  Germany had a solid performance as their offence had no problems scoring and their defense looked very good.  Currently Oddsmakers at BodogLife.com have Germany as a 5:1 favorite to win Euro 2008.

Germany is a very experienced squad this year.  They have won the Euro 2008 a total of 3 times.  They won it in 1972, 1980 and 1996.  They have 67 wins, 29 draws and only 14 losses in Euro 2008 action.  Germany also has 224 goals scored and only 77 conceded.  This year they look to better that total and win it all.  At the last World Cup they lost in the finals.  Striker Miroslav Klose ended the tournament as the leading goal scorer, winning the Golden Shoe with five goals.  He was very impressive in the game against Poland this year.  Germany has a stacked team this year and I believe that they will take home the European Cup.
