For those who fancy a flutter or those like me who will probably make their first bet ever, this is the odds we have in the UK

France 3/1
Italy 5/1
Portugal 13/2
Spain 7/1
England 15/2
Holland 8/1
Czech Republic 12/1
Germany 20/1
Sweden 25/1
Denmark 33/1
Bulgaria 50/1
Russia 50/1
Croatia 80/1
Greece 80/1
Switzerland 125/1
Latvia 300/1


As much as it hurts me tho, 20/1 for germany is odds i like the look of, tho i'm going to wait until i see the squads first, if not Holland or Spain will get my money, I Honestly don't see much in france or italy like some ppl seem to, but we'll see

I can see Italy or Spain winning it. If Czech odds lengthen then they will be a good bet. Germany is prob the best odds but there aint a cat in hells chance i would put money on them

yeah that's how I feel about it, but I think it's a good bet at those odds to stick a fiver on, pretty torn really between trying to make some much needed cash or being loyal and not betting on the enemy

I like England, but i for some reason think Spain should win it. It will be interesting to see who wins between France and Brazil and the centinal game, that will probably decide if i go with france.

It surprises me that the Czech Republic is below The Netherlands, the Czechs qualified ahead of the Netherlands in the qualification poule.

And England on 5th place... The team of England is rubbish

Spain and Portugal don't have a "winners team""

France will win the European Championship, Henry will be the top striker with 6 goals

(Holland will reach semi-finals, although there is a big chance that they will have to play against Italy in the qurter-finals)

The one thing working in our favour is that nobody is expecting us to do anything, so while people expect france, holland, even spain & portugal, we have nothing to lose, which might work for us

Old rivalry renewed

Games do not come much bigger this and it arrives as early as day four on the Portuguese timetable.

Final repeat
Whether you best remember the 1974 FIFA World Cup final or the 1988 UEFA European Championship semi-final, any meeting of these nations is usually a classic. With Germany having reached the last World Cup final, and the current Dutch side capable, on their day, of the sort of brilliant football that destroyed Scotland 6-0 in the play-offs, this ought to be something very special indeed.

Orange future?
When the Netherlands won their 1988 encounter 2-1 in Hamburg, a third of the Dutch nation celebrated in the streets, and a special book of poetry, containing contributions from all the victorious players, was published in celebration.

Classic encounter
Germany, on the other hand, will look back to their thrilling victory as West Germany in the 1974 World Cup final and the tense win in 1990 on their way to regaining their global crown. Porto will already have staged the opening game involving Portugal when this match occurs, but the temperature will be just as high for this one, and if Germany can recapture their Korea/Japan form, and the mercurial Dutch click, this will be a classic.

Biggest match in the tournament for sure

if you look back 2 years ago, no1 expected us to do much @ the wc, but we lost only to the eventual winners, I think without the pressure on, we might play better like
