    I thought you'd maybe see an Asensio or Isco. Maybe even Carvahal or Nacho. But granted I haven't seen much of these players the past year or 2.

    Could make a case for Nacho I suppose. He’s been pretty good this season. Asensio hasn’t been the same since that awful injury he had. Isco has never quite lived up it the hype imo. Carvajal, idk.

    I fancy Germany to bounce back and have a strong showing for Löw’s send off.

    Squad looks strong, with Hummels and Muller reinstated too.

    England going forward will be really dangerous with the option's they've got in attack..

    Centre mid they're just ok and defensively at the back and in goal I think they're pretty weak to be honest, apart from right back maybe..

    The last tournament they relied heavily in set pieces with that Scottish guy that's now at the sheep..

    I don't think they should be laughed off but I don't think they're good enough at both end's. I hope no anyway..

    Instinct is telling me it’s Belgium’s time. Front three of Hazard and De Bruyne playing behind Lukaku is exceptional. Also think they’d be pretty solid at the back with Courtois, Vertonghen, Meunier, Castagne etc.

    Portugal look class all over though. Obviously France too.

    England will do * all. The draw means that the winner of Group D (probably Engerlund) has to play the runner up of Group F (between France, Portugal or Germany) in the first knock-out tie.

    Same , I'm on the Belgians and a sneaky on Germany, even though they don't look as good they are always thereabouts.

    Hills doing a promo , stake at least £10 on a team to win or each way and get a free £5 for any group stage game they win , guessing if you do it each way it will 2.50 freebet

    Feels surreal looking to see a Scotland team boarding the plane, what squad numbers they are etc.

    Canny wait for this.

    Something keeps telling me a Denmark v Spain Final!!

    England,France,Belgium,Germany,Holland will NOT win it

    Portugal are dangerous of course,as are Spain,Denmark are strong Dark Horses who will win their Group,and in a knock out can beat anybody.

    Something else keeps telling me,England will not get out our Group,after 2 games they will be out,we will get out and we will beat their Overrated Arses as we do it,last 16 here we come,.uck it make it last 8!!:scotland:

    Don't want Portugal, France to win cause that's boring and obviously not England. Anyone else is fine.

    Mate this Portugal team will not need to do that. The gulf in talent between the 2016 team and this current one is huge. In 2016 there was no Días, Félix, Bernardo Silva, Neves, Fernandes, Cancelo. They’ll be putting a few teams to the slaughter if they play the right football.

    See the Czechs have decided to stay in Prague for the duration of the tournament and will fly to Glasgow and London for the games.

    Meant to be staying in Edinburgh but have cancelled those arrangements
