well to me, you have very strong teams for sure : Germany, Spain, Italy and England.
I really think that the winner is one of those four.

And not the host nation or Belgium?

very honestly, as a French man, I don't see France as a winner. Our team is too fragile. Benzema, Valbuena are out.
Some others like Ben Harfa who has been very good in Nice will probably not play.
Of course, I know we have Giroud, Griezmann but they're not as comfortable in the national team as they are in England and Spain.

I don't think that Belgium is strong enough to compete with the Great Four !

If you think England can win this then you need your head testing.

Congratulations to Real Madrid but I find their brand of football unexciting. Athletico deserved to win it tonight.

Just saw the match, AM deserved to win.
RM were bad and of course Ronaldo played "his games", like he won the cup to RM.
It was Juanfran that missed his penalty and not Ronaldo making his goal.
Sick and tired of Ronaldo's ego and "over exposure".
He will lose big times with Portugal in the Euro.

one never knows !
with a few referee mistakes and some kind of misunderstanding, everything can happen !

i know it was just a friendly game but it sounds surprising that Germany lost against Slovaquia 1-3 in Augsburg.
Did anyone watch this game ? was it the A team ?

No - the B team. Neuer, Muller, Schweinsteiger and several other key players were missing. So an experimental team.

Donr forget hummels--özil---reus- kroos. Nobody played

obviously Deutschland is taking this.

OK - update. We now have 11 members taking part. Roll up roll up - any more for any more - for the greatest fun you can have with your clothes on. Apart from listening to the Rolling Stones that is!

Time for the ol' Lineker quote:

LOL, in the rules it says "You can predict each fixture right up until the match kicks off, so no need to predict everything now". I read that a little bit too late

But you can still change your predictions Hansie.

Same here

Belgium's defence is not good enough for them to do well in Euro 2016!

France has the same weakness
that's the reason why I think we can't do it up to the final.

first game, tomorrow with France vs Romania in SDF (stade de France in Saint-Denis).

as you probably know, the situation in France is fragile because of strikes (transport and garbage men)
So, don't be surprised if you see around or inside some stadiums of France a big collection of dustbins of all kinds and colors !
another real threat is a plague of frogs in the stadiums ! I easily imagine English fans horrified by the vision of an army of howling frogs.
As a Frenchman, it reminds me of the name people called me when I went to London :
the frog in the fog ! ><

Good luck for those who come to France for the Euro.
soccer is also rock'n'roll and we like it !

Maybe the transport- and garbage women will work double shifts?

My favourites, Belgium first, I think they have a good chance.

Then, Germany would be my second choice.

Dark Horse: Quiet team but Northern Ireland, they have not lost in a number of matches.

France is playing well. I will be for them and Ingerlund.

[us.soccerway.com] Here is the tournament set up.

Wales were doing very well; I think they are winless in 4 matches.

------------------


Not sure if a Copa America thread is set up here.

I think Iceland can be a big surprise.
The beat The Netherlands twice. Strong players with great endurance.

Just as long as the guitar plays, let it steal your heart away

The way our (Norway) crap strikers had fun with the belgium defenders lately makes me very skeptical to them going a long way.

It was the same with Iceland, who has lost most of their games since the Euro qualifying games.

Then again, many teams don't give 100 percent in the pre-Euro games..
