Like a lot of people predicted I think you’ll find. We’re all very aware that Portugal are infinitely better than they were 5 years ago in terms of quality names. I’d be more concerned that it took 80 mins to break down a poor Hungary team. Portugal will be hard to beat but they won’t win the tournament. There are better teams out there.
Ronaldo setting more records tonight. Beating Platini's record of most goals in European Championships.
His 5th!!
36 years old😵
Absolute Beast of an athlete with unparalleled drive. We'll never see his like again.
Portugal should have had the game sorted by half time. Missed some great chances.
The double DMs in Carvalho and Danilo is a bit conservative. But that’s what you get with Santos as coach. Neves or Palhinha should probably replace Carvalho. Deep lying mid but more offensive with big passing range.
They’re a hell of a team. Andre Silva hit 27 goals for Frankfurt this season and is on the bench. Other game breakers there too. Nice mix of youth, form and experience. Probably only France is an obviously better team than Portugal.
Portugal and Spain coming good like you predicted

Are Hungary poor? Unbeaten in 11 games before today and playing at home in front of 65,000 of their fans

They're the team to beat and are incredibly scattered talents in every position!
With speed and craft in there armoury and a defense that is hard to unlock.

Well, it's early doors but Portugal isn't a reliable bet tbh. They tend to flatter to deceive but I think in this tournament they might just do it. Spain is probably also in the same mould. The current Spanish team isn't really in the same category of that Iniesta/Xavi one.
Can you write off the Germans? Not if you look at their track record, but this was a cagey German performance tbh. The French did the minimum with the maximum effect!

Morespurs covering most possibilities here- mentions Spain, Portugal, France and of course can never write off Germany.
Anyone else Morespurs?

Hardly the way things work out though once or twice mate. Greece won it when they were thought of as one the candidates to get eliminated in the first round? So, yes plenty of potentials, not least the likes of England, being at home, Italy who can have enough to go all the way, along with the Netherlands and of course, Belgium.
Plenty there.

Makes you sick right? Some teams are so good they don't have to perform at peak levels, and yet win trophies at this level. Look at that squad, the French have! littered with talented individuals!
However, Germany imo, won't sustain it. They have weaknesses in couple of critical positions, one being at CB. Think the likes of Belgium/Italy would be too good for Germany if they met.

I think the implication was you’re pretty much suggesting every major nation can win it - you’ve gone for Spain, Portugal, France, Germany and now England, Italy, Netherlands and Belgium. Its like analysing the Premier League for next season and saying that any one of City, Utd, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs or Leicester will win it.
Here’s a question for you Morespurs - which one nation do you predict will win the tournament?!
No Idea who will win this ...except I'll bet England won't!
France has talent all over the pitch.....Belgium, even without KdB looked pretty good.
Netherlands?
Germany looked off the pace against France, loads of possession second half, and hardly a shot.
Perhaps over the hill now...like Joachim Low.
Right now, my ordering is
1. France
2. Belgium, Germany, Netherlands
3. Spain, Italy, Russia
Have not seen Portugal play.

Yes I did understand the underlying reason for the comment but what I was trying to say that I picked only 2 nations which I fancied for the tournament. My counter argument was that I could’ve chosen more than the 2, Portugal and Spain.
Now to your question, which I think will win it. This comes down to the luck of the draw as much as to the strength of the side. So far, the French look tenacious at the back though you could argue the Germans were lacking imagination to unlock the defense?
The most impressive performance so far for me is from the Italians! First game of the Euro, potential banana slip against the unfancied Turkey and having fired blanks in the first half, they stuffed Turkey with 3 goals!!
I need to look at that draw but Italy is the dark horse right now. Sorry can’t be specific!

Yes Morespurs does seem to have picked the first seven or eight favourites as his winner. I thnk perhaps he just needs to narrow it down a bit.
I predicted France from the off. And I think Italy will do quite well.

Portugal should have had the game sorted by half time. Missed some great chances.
The double DMs in Carvalho and Danilo is a bit conservative. But that’s what you get with Santos as coach. Neves or Palhinha should probably replace Carvalho. Deep lying mid but more offensive with big passing range.
They’re a hell of a team. Andre Silva hit 27 goals for Frankfurt this season and is on the bench. Other game breakers there too. Nice mix of youth, form and experience. Probably only France is an obviously better team than Portugal.
