Having watched Scotland recently they are my underdog bet to go quite far in the competition, maybe even semi-finals.


England isn't close to being a favorite...they're second tier in this tournament.
France and Belgium are the clear favorites.
England, Italy and Portugal a big step behind.
Netherlands has the talent, and can be a threat if they put things together.


It is a home tournament for England, and they are either favorite or second favorite in the betting.

Netherlands are dreadful

How can you say Portugal is a big step behind Belgium? As much talent as any club in the tourney other than France. Dias, Cancelo, Fernandes, B Silva, Felix, Jota, Ronaldo? You can say Ronaldo is old, but Belgium as an entire team is not young.


Agree, Portugal clearly has a more talented squad...their draw, though, could leave them on the outside looking in.

Northern Europeans all the way.

England
Netherlands
Belgium

Portugal does have a ton of young talent so it is hard to disagree there. France has more but whether they coalesce is always la question.


Netherlands are horrible right now.
Belgium is missing KDB.
Maybe England, but not sold on their defense.
Would like to see Portugal again. They have an even better team than they had in last Euros.


How much longer is KDB out? One of my faves. I’m going with France.


Last I heard he might be able to play after the group stage.

Kiss of death saying this as they do seem to find a way to lose, but I am going with England. I do think traditionally Italy does well in these tourneys due to their staunch defense and counter attacking style. If Mbappe stays healthy it is hard to pick against France but if he gets dinged up after a long club season I don’t think they make the semis.

So who has the coolest kit for this Euro? I like the French training kit and the Dutch uniform this go round.

trolling for a job?

Speaking to The Sun, Mourinho said: "I cannot see any weakness. If I had to say one team to win it, I will say them -- because the group of players is fantastic.

"They have to win it. If not, it is an unsuccessful Euros."

When Deschamps was asked to respond to Mourinho's comments on Telefoot, he replied: "I thought the same thing about his Tottenham team, but it did not end up happening like that.
