Germany will definitely underperform, France are definite favorites of mine, I'd like Belgium to do well but they tend to play not really well in important matches.

i think this tournament is really interesting. every team has really clear strengths and flaws to me, i'm not expecting anyone to breeze through to the final. if i had to bet a sizeable amount of money i'd still go for germany tbh, but it's between them and france for me.

They'll just disappoint. And disappointment in this case means not getting to the final. But I think Germany won't even get to Semi-Finals.

This year is the least soccer I've watched in years, so I'll be honest that I don't have a great sense of where the teams are at going in to the tournament, but I'd be shocked if Germany didn't win their group and the round of 16 game vs. a 3rd place team. In all liklihood they will be playing either Belgium or Italy in the quarters.

i think italy are the true 'dark horses' in this tournament. i know their attack looks uninspiring but conte is great tactically/motivationally, that juve backline will be solid as hell and they usually find a way to make things work once they to the knockout stages. they're being very slept on this time around but i wouldn't back e.g. england to beat them. that said, in my predictions i do have germany beating them in the quarters.
i also have croatia getting to the semis, but that's a bit of a punt. they're a little like belgium in that they have a lot of talent but their manager is iffy and there's rumours of disharmony in the camp.

i expect you to get out of the group easily enough. i get the impression you're better offensively than defensively, so hopefully you'll be fun to watch!

Yeah, my country was bragging about that win over Germany for over a year. Still, it was an unbelievable achievement. They were fresh World Champions that time.

Hodgson is a joke. Subbing Wilshere in instead of Vardy...Also Lallana was fucking horrible minus that nice dribble. Kane was out of shape apparently. Sterling was also a jest today. What's the advantage of being lightning fast when you'll go into a dribble and lose the ball.

i have giroud, payet, dier, a swiss defender and the romanian who won the pen 
and yeah i agree with all of the above except i thought lallana was good first half. second half performance was really poor in general and the subs were fucking retarded. vardy was built for that exact situation. ugh.
quality win for wales though. they're gonna be awkward opponents for us, they have a weird ass style that i reckon we'll struggle with.
