5 teams that could cause a surprise at Euro 2016

Poland

A look at Poland’s roster would tell everyone that the squad is one full of intriguing prospects and there isn’t a limit to what they could possibly achieve at the Euros.

For starters, they have Robert Lewandowski. Regardless of how many superlatives one uses to describe the abilities of the Poland captain, they will fall short of truly representing him. With 34 international goals in 76 games, he is the one on whose shoulders the hopes of Poland progressing rest on.

However, he is not alone. With players like Jakub Blaszczykowski, Lukasz Piszczek and Grzegorz Krychowiak, Poland have a good core that could take them really far in the tournament.

Tactically, the most important player is Krychowiak. The Sevilla midfielder had his best season as a player, protecting the backline with grace while guiding Sevilla to Europa League glory. His incredible ability to read the game and avert danger before it arises remains his greatest skill.

A lot will depend on him if Poland are to make it far in the tournament—and they most definitely have the team to do so.
