Ask most people for their views about the likely outcome of a football match and the answers you receive will most probably carry a high degree of confidence.

As Euro 2012 comes to a close, today on the blog our tournament correspondent Adam Hurrey delivers his awards for the best of this year's tournament in Poland and the Ukraine.
Best Player of Euro 2012: Andres Iniesta
It's hard to argue with UEFA's decision to mark Iniesta's contribution to Spain's historic title triumph. Amidst the absurd backlash towards Spain's style of play, he always seems to produce a positive, forward-thinking touch or pass. Arguably more important to Spain as a pote...

As the final curtain comes down on Euro 2012, today on the blog Matt Wallace delivers the first of his new match analysis pieces, today detailing Spain's 4-0 win over Italy in the final.

The two teams met just a couple of weeks ago in the opening round of fixtures, a tight draw that showed Italy were a team to be considered and Spain might not be at their best. Since then you’ve had...

As we wait for Spain and Italy to face off in the Final of Euro 2012, today on the blog our Euro correspondent Adam Hurrey shares his thoughts on the exapnsion to 24 teams for Euro 2016.
This is the last time you will see Europe’s best sixteen nations compete. From 2016, held in France, the European Championship will have a field of 24 national teams.
The motivation for the change is clear and indisputable – money. UEFA’s approach to revenue generation is not a new bug-be...
