Euro 2012

Vicente del Bosque has turned some of this generation's greatest players into a gaggle of unstoppable dullards, and the onus is on someone else to stop them.

As much as defensive football frustrates fans, it's difficult to deny how effective it is in winning trophies

England and Italy could cancel each other out with conservative tactics, but it only takes one great goal to turn a boring draw into a wild match.

Spain spent most of their last match against Croatia keeping the ball without attacking the goal, then scoring with one great pass. Can France provide any more opposition?

The thigh injury that Helder Postiga suffered in Portugal's quarterfinal win will keep him out of the team's Euro 2012 semifinal contest.
