EURO2012 Lightening Storm

Euro 2012 Preperations

I am currently well into preparation for Euro 2012 which kicks off in Poland and Ukraine on Friday June 8th. International tournaments like this one are among the highlights of my working life. I have absorbed this month’s editions of both “World Soccer” magazine and “Four Four Two”, become familiar with Sweden’s new attacking approach, the Greek full backs and all manner of minutiae which might prove useful in covering the championship.
