The new FIFA world rankings have been released ahead of Euro 2012 and Portugals five place drop from fifth to tenth now makes them the lowest ranked team in their group, the group of death.Group B is undoubtedly the most difficult group in the tournament with four strong teams who have enough quality to qualify for the knock-out stages. The strength of the teams have been recognised by the bookies and Group B has been named Yan Gomes Jersey the favourite group to produce the eventual trophy winner at 5/4 (all odds included are from bet365.com). Heres an in-depth look at all four teamsenmark FIFA ranking: 9thOdds to qualify: 4/1Odds to win: 80/1Style of play: Coach Morten Olsen favours a flexible 4-3-3- formation, although hes also been known to use 4-2-3-1. Regardle s of the setup, Denmark makes as much use out of the flanks. The fullbacks get forward as much as po sible, and Dennis Rommedahl provides the attack width down the right, while Michael Krohn-Dehli on the left serves as the link between midfield and the front man. Both will try to use their speed before cutting into the box, or serving up cro ses for striker Nicklas Bendtner. Operating in the hole behind Bendtner is Christian Eriksen, who pulls the creative strings in the centre of midfield, backed up by two defensive midfielders, William Kvist and Niki Zimling. Probable starting formation (4-3-3): (GK) Lindegaard (D) S Poulsen, Kjaer, Agger, Jacobsen (M) Kvist, Eriksen, Zimling (F) Krohn-Dehli, Bendtner, RommedahlStrengthsefence Led by Daniel Agger, Denmark boasts a very stingy and tough defence. The Danes conceded just six goals in eight qualifying games; itll be tough for opponents to break them down.Best of both worlds The Danish team is a physical side that has several players, such as Christian Poulsen, who arent afraid to mix it up. At the same time, Dennis Rommedahl and others provide the Danes with great technical ability.Coaching Morten Olsen has been in charge of the national team for the past 12 years. Hes an astute tactician that has the overwhelming respect of his players. He also has vast international experience, having led Denmark to two World Cups. This is his third Brandon Kintzler Jersey European championship.Weakne sesepth Denmark have a solid starting lineup, but once you get past the first eleven, the quality drops off rather drastically. The Danes arent ble sed with great depth, as most of their bench players are not regular starters for their pro clubs.The curse of 92 The spectre of Euro 92 and the Danes miracle run to the title looms large over the current Danish team, with fans expecting the current side to duplicate the feat and pull off another upset. Constantly being judged against the 92 team cant be easy on the players.Players to watch:Christian Eriksen The 20-year-old central midfielder is one of the brightest prospects in Europe, making up for his slight build with his imaginative and creative play in the centre of midfield.Nicklas Bendtner Often derided for his lack of composure in front of goal in the Premiership, Bendtner is much more for prolific for his country, and has international experience.Daniel Agger The Liverpool star and Danish captain is vital to his countrys chances for succe s, providing a sturdy and stabilizing presence in the centre of defence.Squad: GK: Stephan Andersen, Anders Lindegaard, Kasper Schmeichel, DF: Lars Jacobsen, Michael Silberbauer, Simon Busk Poulsen, Daniel Wa s, Simon Kjaer, Daniel Agger, Andreas Bjelland, Jores Okore, MF: William Kvist, Christian Poulsen, Niki Zimling, Jakob Poulsen, La se Schone, Christian Eriksen, FW: Dennis Rommedahl, Tobias Mikkelsen, Michael Krohn-Dehli, Thomas Kahlenberg, Nicklas Bendtner, Nicklas Pedersen.Coach: Morten OlsenGermany FIFA ranking: Sean Doolittle Jersey 3rdOdds to qualify: 1/4Odds to win: 3/1Style of play: Coach Joachim Low employs a fluid 4-2-3-1 formation that often morphs into 4-3-3. Regradle s of the setup, Germany plays a high-tempo, pre sing game when not in po se sion. At the 2010 World Cup they relied on the counter-attack for scoring chances. Now they are much more a sertive, using short 1-2 pa ses and quick ball movement. Fullbacks Philipp Lahm and Jerome Shawn Kelley Jersey Boateng give the attack width and pace down the wings. In the middle, Sami Khedira shields the back four, while partner Bastian Schweinsteiger directs traffic. In front of them, Mesut Ozil serves as the midfield conductor, flanked by Lukas Podolski and Thomas Muller. Up top, Miroslav Klose is the target man, relying on service from the midfield trio.Probable starting formation (4-2-3-1): (GK) Neuer (D) Lahm, Badstuber, Hummels, Boateng (M) Schweinsteiger, Khedira (M) Podolski, Ozil, Muller (F) KloseStrengths:Midfield With the exception of Spain, no other team at this tournament is as strong or deep in the middle of the park than Germany. Coach Joachim Low can rely on such world-cla s talents as Bastian Schweinsteiger and Mesut Ozil, and a strong supporting cast that includes Toni Kroos and Sami Khedira.Youth and experience Low has picked a roster that has a nice balance of youth (Marco Reus, Thomas Muller, Mario Gotze and Mesut Ozil) and experience (Per Mertesacker, Bastian Schweinsteiger and Miroslav Klose).Hunger Germany is one of the most succe sful teams in international soccer, winning the tournament three times and finishing runner-up another three times. But they havent won a major tournament Kyle McGowin Jersey since Euro 96 and they are eager to prove they are on par with Spain as the best team in the world.Weakne sesefensive i sues Captain Philip Lahm is one of the best left fullbacks in the game, but Germany are a bit soft in the middle of defence, and coach Joachim Low is far from settled on what his best back four is.Set pieces The Germans are far from prolific and proficient from dead ball situations, as they dont have someone who can deliver a killer free kick into the box.Players to watch:Bastian Schweinsteiger The Bayern Munich star is the archetypal German midfielder: superb on the ball, physical and tough, creative and visionary. An excellent two-way player, Schweinsteiger is one of the best midfielders in the world, capable of dictating the pace of the game on his own thanks to his wide array of skills.Mesut Ozil The Real Madrid playmaker conducts the German attack with a brilliant mix of po se sion, sublime pa sing and probi
