David Silva (Euro 2012 Bet)

That does sound like a good price, but what does 'player of the tournament' mean? Like, is that an official UEFA prize?
(Sorry if I'm being a div.)

Xavi won it in 2008.

I think the one before that was Theo Zagarakis.

Always a bit hit and miss with these tournaments, sometimes they are true to form but there's always potential for shocks like Greece in 2004 and Denmark in 1992. It could be someone really obscure that's why I hate doing prediction leagues for these types of things.

Spain might get exposed defensively without Puyol. As great a team as Barcelona are they haven't managed to retain the CL and with Spain winning the Euros and last WC like France in 98 and 2000 it could be someone else's turn now.

Who that may be is anyone's bloody guess though! I'm probably gonna wait until after a round of games or 2 before placing anything or do largely in play bets.

That being said it's not a bad price at all for that bet.
