World Champions (France) - I'm scottish :mrgreen:
Scotsman in "Not supporting other home teams now we are knocked out SHOCKA !!" :D
LOL...
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.

As an Irishman I get a free hit here so I would probably say France but.... in a perfect world Germany would beat England on pens :P

Interesting read, but they have the Germans down as having a 5% chance of winning!

If they wish to lay me 20/1 on Germany, I'm in

To have any chance of it coming home there'll need to be a big improvement on the group stages.

Southgate might have to wear his magic waistcoat! :)

If I was an England fan, come the end of the tournament my fear would be he might be wearing clown shoes to go with his waistcoat and bowtie
