I don’t know who’s going to win but it won’t be England. Germany are probably favourites having home advantage.

Just returned from Belgium and some people there think they have a decent chance this time.

England will blow out again and that hopefully will be the end of Southgate as manager.

Hard to look past France but Portugal have the second best squad on paper. Hard to tell how good an international manager Martinez is.

Having nightmares to Vlahovic and Mitrovic bullying whatever centre back pairing we put out there on Sunday. Going to miss Maguire a lot.

Its often been said that its 'Belgiums year', but they never achieve much.

What about Spain?

I expect Germany to bounce back, with home adv.

Really open tournament this year, more so than usual I think. All of the big hitters have issues or have had duff results in the run-up, maybe a Greece 04 situation for an outsider who just clicks at the right time.

I hope that I am proved wrong, but I have a feeling that England may struggle to meet expectations. We have seen it before.

Went to Euro 1988 - West Germany - saw all
three Republic of Ireland games including narrow defeat to Holland at Gelsemkirchen - where Englan play Serbia on Sunday.
I fancy the Dutch to emerge too of their group ahead of France and to go deep into the tournament.
Belgium are like England - deluded

First tournament I can remember where I can’t really be bothered and would like a break from watching football

Might watch if there’s nothing else on or when it gets to the knockouts

Do you think BBC News will have cameras at about a dozen English pubs watching fans jumping up and down when they score? Fabulous stuff which never grows old

I hope the cameras are there to capture the moment when Kane misses the penalty in the shoot out against Germany and England go home empty handed, AGAIN.

Quality player, but undoubtedly a jinx (as Bayern Munich discovered this season) England will need to drop him if they wish to win anything

Sad but necessary as we already know he will miss that vital penalty against the Jerries.

Bellingham has had a long hard season and is looking a bit jaded, probably needs benched too.

Photographic evidence of Kanes poor attitude but confirming that he too has seen the premonition of the missed penalty.
