European Football Champion 2012 will…

Joachim Degasperi has not yet dealt with the European Championship, “but by the time the ball rolls in Poland and Ukraine, I too will be glued to the television,” said the Serie B-tested professional footballer. When it comes to his assessment of the outcome of the tournament, the fan in him speaks: “I’m betting on the classic Germany – Italy as the final. I hope that Pirlo and Co. will win the title. Even before the 2006 World Cup, Italian football was plagued by endless scandals and in the end they were at the top. I definitely see parallels to this year’s European Championships.”

Ice hockey player Ingemar Gruber However, gives Italian football a bad report: “Due to the ongoing scandals, this sport has lost a lot of credibility in Italy. I have to say that I've only been following football on the sidelines for some time now." But the Ritten Sport player still has one tip ready: "For me, Spain is also the big favorite in this tournament. In my opinion, the Iberian class will prevail in the end, especially since they have played at a consistently high level over the years and their hunger for success is far from being satisfied.”

Exceptional triathlete sees things similarly daniel hofer the situation, who got a first-hand impression of the Spaniards' enthusiasm for football: “I was only recently in Madrid and I have to say that the euphoria there captivates everyone. Driven by support at home, the Spaniards will defend their European title. In any case, I’m keeping my fingers crossed for them from our training camp in St. Moritz.”

FCS Managing Director Dietmar Pfeifer “will definitely watch the games that will be played in the evening. I'll probably miss the ones that kick off at 18 p.m. because the work isn't going well." The football expert sees Germany as the absolute favorite for the World Cup. “Germany has made the best of its crisis and has done a great job over the past ten years. They have trained young players who play at Real Madrid, Arsenal London or Bayern Munich – top international names. I rate the Dutch as co-favorites.” The White-Red manager, however, has little confidence in World and European champions Spain.

The handball player has a completely different favorite Mario Sporcic on his list. The playmaker from Croatia believes that the footballers from his country will be celebrating on July 1st. “If we win the first game against Ireland then we can go very far. A win would give the team a lot of self-confidence and we Croatians are dangerous for any team if we believe in ourselves. The group with Ireland, Spain and Italy is of course very difficult. My second title contender is Holland.”

According to a football professional Michael Ci The future European champions will also come from Group C: “I’m betting on Italy. The betting scandal may have a negative impact on the players, but in my opinion this gives the players a very special boost of motivation and even more will to prove themselves as European champions.”

“I have to admit that I'm really not a football expert and I'm only seriously interested in it at the big tournaments. That's why I can only agree with the experts who are mainly betting on Spain as the new and old European champions," says South Tyrol's best cross-country skier Roland Clara on the record when asked who will lift the European Championship trophy in the end.

Bari midfielder Manuel Scavone However, he is certain: “Germany will be European champions!” The DFB team is the best team in terms of quality and is also a true tournament team that can improve from game to game.
