With the European championships just 10 days to go it's only right to create a thread discussing this tournament.

World champions Germany go in as the favourites, with Spain, Belgium, Italy and France seen as the most likely to challenge them.

Seems like Italy will be our biggest threat this year. Although I think Ireland can be quite good.

Well you're not the only one that was shocked, everyone expected them to qualify.

Looking forward to seeing how this plays out.

I remember now my family and I made a betting pool on which team we think is going to win. Because I was uninterested I said Iceland as a joke. Hope they prove me wrong.

I doubt that iceland will win but it would be a miracle if they won

The Isis can make all the threats they want but that won't stop the tournament from being cancelled

LoL Thats a good one

Germany has been shite in the buildup but I still fancy them to win it. Belgium obvious to cause some troubles. Jinxing it but I think England will also manage to do fairly well given the form of most of their lot.

[YOLOwag]

Belgium. The World Cup was a tournament too early. Hazard player of the tournament.

Germany Belgium and England are all pretty good teams we will just have to wait and see on how will they perform.

In group A, Albania and Switzerland can surprise France.

In group E, Italy can find themselves out of the qualification round.

Stay tuned

Well France and Italy aren't as good now as they were back in 06 but we just have to wait and see

It's a soccer tournament kind of like the world cup but with European teams.

[Radaketor]

The "F" in Group F stands for "Fuck we're not winning anything this year again".
Well whatevs, gives us a chance to parade our little whipping-boy around, perhaps gets some tourists for the summer and whatnot.

Which is only a step bellow the quality of the Champions League.

Yeah but I feel like Portugal got in a easy group

True but every other group has at least one (some even two!) nation that can probably easily defeat Portugal and knowing our luck we'll maybe get a round or two but then face the future champion.

It was won by a team that no one expected them to win (Greece)

>mfw that was the closest we'll ever get to winning the damn thing

Portugal will win it someday

>why live?

If it wasn't live then the internet would put up spoilers people would look It up on the internet instead of watching it on TV.

Actually technically, the cup is already at home because the tournament is in France, so I guess France keeps the cup?

We just have to wait and see

Well hopefully Spain has recovered from the thrashing they got at the world cup

They actually did recover from it.

Only four days away this is so exciting

[Batista333]

The Belgium team looks ridiculously good this year. It's just a question of whether they can play as a team and pull it out of the bag, the way England cannot

France vs Germany final

Best outsiders: Russia, Austria, Poland

England to make semi final
Wales to make 2nd Rd
Ireland to get knocked out at group stage

That's a good prediction
