Odds are here.  Most likely winners are France I’d say despite not being favourites. England worst value going. I will be supporting England first and Germany second (family reasons) and a flutter on Portugal. I think it’s hard to say how Portugal will do. Good squad but on the older side. They will either bomb or overachieve I reckon so potentially good value at 7s.  Similar to Germany. Could win it but could easily bomb out early.  Just so inconsistent and not confident of their goal scoring potential. 
England
3/1
France
4/1

5/1
Portugal
7/1
Spain

Italy
14/1
Netherlands
18/1

France, Germany, Portugal are scary. Italy, Spain, Belgium all good but we should beat if we play to our level. All others we should be beating. Hoping this is the Summer we can lift a trophy, 58 years on!

Germany or Portugal I reckon. England out in Quarters. Defence is a huge issue for England. Even with Maguire it wouldn't have been good enough against the top nations. And I also worry that Kane isn't fully fit, and without him at his best then we've got no chance!

Has anyone got a link to a predictor to see who would play who at what stage? 

France to win for me on the face of it, but kay change subject to studying who they'd play and who others would get along the way.

The romantic in me would always like Italy to win it. Beautiful country, classic winners.

What about the football fan in you? 😄Beautiful country, repulsive attitude to sportsmanship though.

Thanks, that was fun and also a bit worrying. I agree about a France vs Germany final with the French winning. It would be great to see England do it after 58 years of hurt but think we go out in the Quarters to Spain or Italy.

If England had a back line we would be in with a very good chance. With what we’ve got we either need Pickford to be keeper of the tournament or we literally have to rely on outscoring teams. Generally though winners keep clean sheets when it counts and it only needs one decent side to have us under control tactically and we’re out.

I think the group will prove more difficult to top than some think. The chance for a team in third to go through just incentivises the other teams to play for a draw versus us, then try to pick up wins against the others.

This happened at Euro 2016 and led to us drawing 0-0 with the 11 goalposts of Slovakia in the final group game, dropping us below Wales.

France will win it I feel, Always optimistic that England can win it (say they will everytime) This time however I feel it is going to be a struggle.  

I got a feeling Germany will win it. They've been terrible at recent tournaments, but the feeling has picked up again after their last international break.

I can't help thinking that an extra option at centre back would have been more worthwhile than including both Toney and Watkins - both of whom are unlikely to play more than a few minutes.

Either Branthwaite or if Southgate really doesn't think he's ready, Dier - who's had a reasonable season at Bayern.

Yeah and being the hosts too will give them extra little bit push, I think him taking Toney and Watkins is the right call if we need a goal we can chuck one of them on with the hoe we can nick one, like you say though defence looks a little bare especially if we lose one of them.

Lack of a left back costs Engerlund. Out in quarters to Germany. France win the big pot

You could be right, but Germany won the world cup in 2014 with Howedes at left back

Think I caught a snippet on the news yesterday when the German hotel complex (where England are staying) man was being interviewed. He said along the lines of... England have requested that the grass on the hotel training pitch to be like Wembley. He informed them that they would be playing games on German grass!

 

As the famous Fawlty Towers episode goes.... How did we ever win the war!

Tomori not being in the squad is just bonkers.

France have to be favourites.

England have a chance - Trent alongside Rice could be what England are missing

Don't get the love in for Tomori

He's been poor when selected and poor when I've seen him on TV, reports from Italy suggest he has had a so so season

I can only assume you have watched him more

All our boys on the bench for Ireland, Smodics is starting though as is O'Brien, assuming that's the fella we were after last year.

Pepe at 41 and Ronaldo at 39 are starting!

Us at 3/1 is a mental price. My punt is England to win with kane top scorer, as i cant see us winning without Harry being the top scorer.

Portugal has to be the   best outright winner                  punt at 7/1. If they win the group they dont play another group winner until the semis.

Incredibly excited.
 

Will be staying off social media as much as I can around England game days too, alleviates seeing all those who think Southgate should win every game, our squad is the best ever, but also Pickford isn’t good enough, Maguire isn’t good enough (but we really miss him), the defence is really week, if shaw can’t play we’re ****** bla bla bla

I was thinking the exact opposite looking at the German line-up. They'll certainly be relying on being greater than the sum of their parts if they are to do well. 

I agree they’ve probably had a lot more quality in the past. That’s the type of team that usually wins this competition though. Host nation too.

England have their best ever opportunity to win a tournament imo. I think Germany  will win it though. 

Listening to a podcast with Raph Honigstein earlier in the week, he said the mood music in Germany is extremely low, no confidence in the squad & just generally aren’t hopeful at all, and if anything are nervous about being embarrassed in their own country.

Lulling us into a false sense of security... 

They did lose 4-1 at home to Japan last year tbf. But recent performances have been better.

They have been better but apparently they have lost their opening game in the last 3 tournaments! Can’t see a repeat of that myself.
