Warspite wanted to use the European Championships thread instead but in my opinion this event deserves its own thread. After all, all the other 2008, 2010 and 2012 Cups had their own independent threads.
Needless to say, NO politics here as we don’t want it locked. This is about football. I guess some Mourinho or parking-the-bus or [insert here the tactics, players you dislike] baitings are most welcome though

Whatever. I start.
I only see 3 teams bagging the title. Brazil (at home and Brazil is always Brazil), Argentina and Germany. I would even add it’s going to be between Brazil and Germany.
Positive surprises: Portugal, they could even get to the final, who knows; and Belgium: small country but with a very talented generation, let’s see if they manage to put them to good use.
