SM001 Even as an Irishman i’d like to see this iteration of England win something. England and France are favourites with Portugal and Germany with an outside chance. Scotland to balls up their good work in the qualifiers and go out in the group stages.
alistair SM001 All those teams you mention plus Belgium have got a chance, but I have got a hunch the Dutch could be a surprise winner.
loopdokter Millsy England out on penalties. Germany out in the quarters to who else… Italy - not because Italy deserve it but because Germany are consistently shit against Italy.
SM001 alistair Belgium are weaker now than they were in past tournaments. They were woeful at the at World Cup IIRC.
loopdokter alistair After the absolute shellacking they gave to (in my opinion a rather good) Canada (who then later drew the French in France yesterday), I concur.
ScottBailey Shitegate to be an absolute whopper and do something typically stupid like bring on 3 defenders when we desperately need a goal.
SM001 alistair They should but Belgium never show up to these tournaments. It would good for the tournament if they do this time around. What you reckon about Spain and Italy?
alistair SM001 Spain lack a proper striker. The likes of Morata and Ferran Torres don’t cut it. Italy are not the team they were three years ago.
alistair The Dutch are blessed with great defenders. Virgil, de Vrij, Ake, Van der Wen, de Ligt, Dumfries and Botman. Pity Memphis is carrying the attack
Smallman1 Kane, Saka, Foden and Bellingham up top. With the likes of Cole Palmer coming off the Dame Judi. It’s coming home lads!
