Britain will lead the Euro in 2012 with expectations that are not usually due to a number of factors, such as a new figure of Roy Hodgson was appointed to handle the UK May 14 last, or the fact that Wayne Rooney who became a mainstay striker will miss the first two games.

Finally, when asked who is going to be a star in the European Cup in England later, Parlour of Arsenal's famous for defending the 1992-2004 period, to choose the figure of Steven Gerrard. Why? "Gerrard will be key players as well as British stars. By adopting the position of captain, he will be more responsible and I'm sure Hodgson would put him in right midfield position (which is his best position). Not like the time in the last World Cup where he played in the left side, "he concluded.

In every tournament we attended, bahasannya always about the players that we have to win the tournament and we will be champions. (Current situation) It can help we are. " "But Britain is in a tough group. France seems to be rising. They will perform better than the previous tournament.

At Euro (Euro) in 2012, British citizens prepared to give full support. In fact, many who have set up a special savings to support "The Three Lions" appears in the Ukraine and Poland. However, it turns out most did not expect too much, given that the UK is considered not to have a special team. A supporter of Tottenham Hotspur, Jack, to assess the current England team supported the players that are less remarkable that he did not get your hopes England will win the European Cup. "Yes, we've never won this championship. However, even this year it has not won too," he said. "England did not have the players that are strong enough to win. It's a mistake that too many of our league to buy foreign players, while the lack of local talent a chance," he said. Even so, there is little hope that England will make a miracle. "You remember Euro 2004? Who would have thought Greece would win? Hopefully this is the case for Britain," he hoped. Chelsea supporter, Steve, also believes the same.

According to him, Britain would not have stepped up to the final. Then he gave the analysis. In addition to the material that is less complete, he said, Wayne Rooney could not perform in three games early because of the punishment from UEFA. "You need a Rooney. He can make a big difference. Hence, it is difficult for England without him at the beginning of the competition," he said. Sjah Muhammad, a resident of Bangladesh descent who claimed a fan of West Ham United, more cynical again. He said the UK will not reach the group stage. "English is very weak team. They only talk, but do not have the ability to win. They will be satisfied only won once or twice, as if he had won. Then, they would easily think of a party, then lost his concentration," he protested. Even so, he would support Britain. "It's nice if the English champions, but I do not believe it happened," he continued.

Meanwhile, Jack adds his analysis, the UK has the best team in the 1966 World Cup champion and they appear. Then in 1990, he said, Britain also has a team again have the ability to win, although ultimately failed. "After that, the UK has decreased. In addition to lack of local talent a chance and football academies are no longer productive star birth, the UK now as a celebrity player. That's the difference now and before. We have hope in the 1990 World Cup champion since Paul Gascoigne et al time it was convincing. If we finally fail, then it is more by luck not take sides, "he said. Meanwhile, a hotel employee, Martin, frustrated with the England team. "I love football, but would not expect anything against the English team. They have always failed, and failed in every tournament," he regrets.
