Tbh......I don't fancy us to beat any of them

We didn't have a single shot in the 2nd half against the Czechs!!

That's not the kind of football that will beat a decent side

Hungary :D

But in reality, Portugal. I think they are the more beatable of the 3. Germany always seem to turn it on in tournaments, regardless of the run in.

My scottish brother-in-law alerted me to the Auld Alliance between France and Scotland.

He also liked Germany because they have a habit of beating the English.

I'll go for Portugal though. They huffed and puffed against Hungary until the breakthough, France are too good and Germany are...well....Germany.
