Still have a feeling about Italy.
Curious title 52 considering they are still unbeaten but I get your point.
I think France went into the game today thinking all they had to do was turn up. The performance smacked of arrogance.
Still strong favs for me.

True they didn't lose, but they didn't look great, or unbeatable
Germany (2012) were the only team to win all 3 group games in the last 2 Euros. No team managed it in 2016 despite the "weakening" of the group stage.
Italy look the best so far but they’ve played average opposition. So have England but they’ve not been very good so you can count them out.
Didn’t see the Portugal - Germany game but the score suggests you can’t rule Germany out despite them looking impotent against France.
I’ve not bothered to work out who could play who as there are so many permutations, but you’d have to say Italy, Belgium and probably France should have a good chance
I do like to see a one star early on, I have to check my spelling and try and up my game.

For pitys sake, nobody but Hungary were better. It's just a thingy, as I often say after partaking.
France, Italy, Germany still the favourites for me. Belgium lead the way for the chasing pack that also includes Spain, Portugal and perhaps even the Dutch.
England? Not a chance. We’re League 1 standard when you compare our approach to games with those mentioned above. Such a shame - with these players we could cause some real problems and almost enjoy being underdogs. Yet we have Southgate - overthinking, over-cautious, lacking purpose and ambition.
I was excited about England with the attacking talent we have in the squad but we just don't remotely play to our strengths.

100%
I can't get excited about England with this manager
No point in predicting it from group stage matches.
But I can still hope it's any team other than Spain or England. Bad for the game.

But guys, we're 2nd in the group.
Germany were very good today—them and Italy have been fluid with their passing and control games. They have players in form and systems which work; so I'll put these two as frontrunners.
I reckon Italy will win the whole thing.

They're unbeaten for almost 30 games, haven't conceded in the last 10. They'll be extremely hard to stop.
Who do you have winning it?

He doesn't fit the requirement of being a boring, mediocre English manager.

I can see someone who can counter at pace beating them. They have super cb’s but they are old and they move up the pitch a lot. Ironically if fancy England against them..with the right personal. They do look good though.
