It may be better just to play it on a game by game basis. I hate France. But they have the best team, and probably the best chemistry. They won the world cup 3 years ago when Mbappe was 19. Now he's just entering his prime. Griezman is in his prime. And the player 3 years ago that no one was talking about on the French team -- Kante -- is now considered one of the best 5 players in the world. 3 years ago it was all about Pogba, and now he's not even one of France's top 5 players, that's how deep they are. With Lloris in net, I don't see how you can stop this team, but in soccer, in one game elimination games, literally anything can happen.
3 years ago I bet on Belgium to win the world cup. That was a near miss, and the first time I've missed on international soccer since being here. In 2010 I picked Spain to win the World Cup, and picked them to win the euro. In 2015 I called the exact matchup of Argentina vs. Germany. Of course i was rooting for Messi to win, but Germany had star players all across the pitch. These guys even had star players for other clubs coming OFF THE BENCH. Still barely beat Messi.
But yeah. Belgium obviously has a nice squad. England, I can't remember the last time they won anything big. There could be a dark horse that comes in. Spain, Germany, and Italy look like they're entering a new era of soccer and they haven't found those next legendary stars yet, but books seem to be thinking they could go far.
Portugal has the best player in the world and Ronaldo has won a Euro Cup before, getting injured mid way into the last final. I'm sure he'll be hungry seeing as this will be his last Euro Cup.
