Wouldn't look too far beyond the usual suspects.

Spain are deserved favourites, Italians if they get out of the group will be dangerous as always. Germans despite loss to Austria are always tough to beat and if they get a game to Penalties they will win, they just have that mental toughness. Dutch play great football, but in the clutch games they lack the composure.

Would be surprised if anyone else is in the Semi Finals, forget England. Despite the SKY hype the key players in the Premiership are all foreign not English...

We'll be tough to beat, but Trapp is like Jack Charlton before him he will just send out his team set up to not embarrass him. So am not expecting any performances to set the heart racing. If we beat Croatia we have an outside chance of getting out of the group, anything less and we can forget it. You have to get something out of every game to survive.

who do you think will win.
i think holland but will go for france and benzema as top goal scorer

Believe me, France is still in rebuilding after Dommenech and Henry's hand malediction... even a quarter-final is unsure, a semi would be a surprise.. Far from the potential winners, Spain, Germany, Holland and Portugal

Ireland has an opportunity to be quarter finalist, Italy is in a moral crisis (twisted bets) and a performance crisis (0-3 against Russia last week). Croatia will compete without Olic and another key midfielder.. So, it's not a done deal at all, but there's a chancae to be 2nd of the group behind Spain..
