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.
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.
All signs point to it coming home.
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.
alistair Belgium are weaker now than they were in past tournaments. They were woeful at the at World Cup IIRC.

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.
Shitegate to be an absolute whopper and do something typically stupid like bring on 3 defenders when we desperately need a goal.
That was a painful 45 mins of football
SM001 That front 4 of Doku, Trossard, De Bruyne and Big Rom would still trouble most teams.
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?
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.
Ze Germans to win the Fallen Madonna with the Big Boobies
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
alistair The Dutch are blessed with great defenders. Virgil
England won’t win. Save your energy
Along_the_Wire hold on! Whaaaat?
Millsy it ain’t the players, it’s the manager
Along_the_Wire it ain’t the players, it’s the manager
right answer
Is Shithatecuntgate going to prevent it coming home?
Nigel Farage would bring it home. Give him a bloody chance!
All that attacking talent and we have a defender in charge
Kane, Saka, Foden and Bellingham up top.
With the likes of Cole Palmer coming off the Dame Judi.
It’s coming home lads!
