It starts next Saturday. I'm sure there will be other people on here with at least a small interest in it.
I'm picking Germany to win as they seem the most consistent of the top teams. Would like to see Spain win as they have underachieved badly at the Major tournaments in recent years. Greece aren't as good as Croatia and the fact they won the last tournament shows its more open than most think.
My outside bet is Croatia at 12/1. They totally dominated England in qualifying and they always overperform. Plus they have a fairly easy group outside on Germany. They shouldn't have many problems disposing of Poland and Austria.
Group A:
Switzerland
Turkey
Czech Republic
Portugal
Prediction: Czechs and Portugal to advance. However Turkey are a decent team and Switzerland have home advantage which ALWAYS helps
Group B:
Germany
Croatia
Poland
Austria
Prediction: Germany and Croatia advance without problems. Austria would definitely not have qualified if they didn't host it.
Group C:
Holland
Italy
France
Romania
Prediction: Italy and France through. I think there is the potential for a slip-up in this group though. France are inconsistent and Romania finished above Holland in the same qualifying group.
Group D:
Spain
Sweden
Russia
Greece
Prediction: Spain and Sweden through. I don't rate Russia or Greece a great deal.
