Confident Germans are one of the pre-tournament favourites

Germany are going to win Euro 2012. Well that's certainly what their players think, especially new Arsenal forward Lukas Podolski who said it was their turn.

The Borussia Dortmund centre-back has just won his second successive title in the Bundesliga and his stylish displays have reportedly caught the attention of Real Madrid and Manchester United.

The 6"3' 23-year-old has locked down the problem central defensive berth alongside Holger Badstuber and has collected 13 caps since making his debut in 2010.
