Euro 2008 Favourites Have Question Marks
Both the Italians and the French side can be excused for feeling a bit of trepidation as the opening round of Euro 2008 looms. Not only are the two matched up in the same group (Group C, along with the Netherlands and Romania) but each is dealing with key injuries.
Italy is without their captain and anchor on defense, Fabio Cannavaro, who has been sidelined due to torn ankle ligaments. France will not have the services of midfielder Patrick Vieira for their first match vs. Romania and he could miss more action than that.
It will not be an easy path for either side. Currently the Italians are 7.50 to win it all (behind Germany and Spain), while France is 9.00.
