EURO 2008 Group C

France, Italy, Netherlands, Romania

France

Although some key players haven\'t marked an impressive season, injuries and weak form has spared them from playing in many games which can be crucial. Interestingly, the bookies don\'t include France among four favourites; even Spain is ahead so we get the impression that they have been underestimated. Odds of 11.00 are too high for Domenech side\'s quality Read complete France preview

Italy

We believe that there is no middle ground for Italy; they will either reach to the very finish or be the biggest disappointment. Although the bookies claim differently we still think that Azzurri are weaker than the French but better and more experienced than Netherlands so they should make it to the next round. After that they will be one of the biggest favourites for the crown.Read complete Italy preview

Netherlands

Clearly the Dutch won\'t have it easy, the expectations are high but the rivals in group C are excellent. We don\'t believe that there are big favourites in group C because Romanians won’t give up that easily. Some initial estimates show that Netherlands are weaker than Italy and French but this doesn’t mean anything. If they remain unbeaten against the World champions, Italy their chances could be higher.

Romania

Romania will have the most difficult job against Azzurri since they are traditionally tough rivals. They beat the Dutch in the qualifications but final tournament is certainly something else. As for the French, Romanians will have the chance to get well acquainted with them because they will be their rivals in World Cup 2010 qualifications. Perhaps Romania could surprise some of the favourites and get hold of the third place in the group. Any place higher than that would be a sensation. Read complete Romania preview
