I don't think you can rule the Germans out. But more of a worry for us is the French, 18 games unbeaten. Which means we may have to beat sweden and ukraine.....we are shite against the swedes
jesus chris ireland for the quaters id be delighted even tho saying that we bore teams so much in playing with our defense then we strike out of the blue like we did against serbia the weekend, i think italy and spain find us a boring nightmare to play against
Holland's defence isn't good enough to win a tournament I don't think. They may not even get out of the group - Ronaldo looks rejuvenated under Paulo Bento. Germany are my favourites, even above Spain.
If you want a real long-shot, go for Poland, with Robert Lewandowski to win the golden boot.
My money is on France at 12/1 - Although a slightly inexperienced squad on the big stage, they have some incredible talent which I feel could be lethal in the hands of an intelligent manager such as Laurent Blanc.
Spain or Portugal for me. Can't stand Portugal though, so I hope they don't win it. Went there for a holiday once - total shithole! (Funnily enough, it was in 2004 when they held the Euros!).......
Me and CUS were out there for the Euros and had a top crack and found the Portuguese sound.
Well apart from the baton happy Old Bill who gave me a perfect purple bruise straight across my arse the night it kicked off on the strip in Albufeira.
