Arsenals players in Euro 2008
1. Jens Lehmann – Although out of favour with Arsenal, Jens will be favourite to start between the sticks for Germany. The bookmakers have Germany as 4-1 favourites to win the full tournament. Its easy to see why, with almost a home advantage with playing their football games in Austria, as well as an easy group stage start.
2. Cesc Fabregas – The hugely influental midfielder will be gauranteed a starting slot in Spains midfield as they open their tournament campaign against Russia. Spain are rightly set as second favourites to lift the trophy.
3. Philippe Senderos – The popular defender will feel right at home in this tournament – he’ll be playing for the home nation, Switzerland. In an excellent performance in the 2006 World Cup, Senderos scored the goal to send them through to the knock-out stages.
4. Lukasz Fabianski – Barring injury to Artur Boruc, young Lukasz will most likely spend this tournament on the bench. It will be valuable experience though for the keeper widely tipped to take over from Boruc in the coming years.
5. William Gallas – The towering defender will take his position at the back for France, and will consider his team to be in with the best chance of Victory.
6. Robin Van Persie – The skillful Dutch forward will be looking to score yet more important goals in the “group of death” against Italy, Romania and France.
Lets wish all of our players a safe and successfull Euro 2008!

No one played well at last tournament. Lemann has made few mistakes, remember the one against Croatia and he was not solid vs. Turkey as well.
Van Persie failed quaterfinal match against Russia, Fabregas only played from time to time only..
