Which tactics will prevail at Euro 2012?

A goal-rich European soccer season suggests Euro 2012 could be a high-scoring tournament, despite the likely preponderance of apparently conservative single-striker formations.

The 2011-12 campaign was one of the most prolific in the modern history of the European game.

Barcelona and Real Madrid both smashed through the 100-goal barrier in La Liga, the Catalans amassing 114 goals and champion Madrid plundering 121 to obliterate the 107-goal season record set by John Toshack's Madrid side in 1989-90.
