Euro 2012 Championship Qualifying: Three Big Games to Watch – Part 1
For numerous players out there, playing for their country means a lot more than playing for their clubs. It is true that most club stars want to go down in football history and make a name for themselves while playing for their country rather the club.
Amongst the several European leagues that provide everyday headlines, rumours and storylines, many players will be playing for their national teams in the next few weeks.
The Euro 2012 qualifying rounds will be played till the end of October and the upcoming fixtures are scheduled to be played on the 8th, 9th and the 12th of October – the results from these games will dictate who will play in the group qualifiers.
With viewers tuning in from all over the world to watch these teams in action, bettor.com provides a list of the three matches that deserve a lot more attention than the others and are guaranteed to be a delight to watch.
Oct. 8, Group H – Denmark vs. Portugal
These are two very reputable squads that are going to go against each other in a Group H match on Friday.
Portugal at the moment is ranked at the fourth place in its group after their disappointing first two games where they managed to pull a draw against Cyprus with the score board reading 4-4 at the end of the match.
This was later followed by a disappointing 1-0 defeat against Norway.
One of the most important factors in the game for the Portuguese will be to find form in Denmark as they need to score at least three points to surge ahead.
Cristiano Ronaldo did not take part in the first two matches for his country and now it is up to the star player to decide if he is going to leave a mark on his national team’s performances and will he thrash the great Danes or not.
Cristiano is regarded by most to be the best player in the world – a complete package to say the least; Ronaldo can score goals, take penalties, free kicks and is an amazing dribbler.
Ronaldo has been performing well in Real Madrid and this 25-year-old is a Manchester United made star who plays as a forward or a winger and is thought to be a play maker that is going to take Portugal to the finals.
Denmark started their qualifying matches with a play against Iceland and the match seemed to be a 0-0 draw. But then, Denmark sneaked in a goal in the 19th minute to a 1-0 victory.
Denmark has an amazing starting line up this year and it includes stars like Dennis Rommedahl, Daniel Agger and Christian Poulsen. Portugal will need to counter with an amazing starting line against such an amazing team.
Oct. 12, Group C – Serbia vs. Italy
The Italians have played two games in the qualifying rounds and the Italians are on the top of the table right now. They have come out shinning in matches against Faroe Islands and Estonia.
The Italian national team had an embarrassing loss against the Azzurri in the World Cup and are now looking to continue their improved performances at Euro 2012.
At present, the Italians are trying to piece together a squad that is capable to take on the World Champions and the next qualifying match seems a difficult one as they are going against Serbia.
