    1. Who will win the tournament?
    My gut feeling is Spain. They have some very good players replacing the old boys including De Gea and Morata. The Spaniards will have a point to prove after the World Cup in Brazil.

    2. How will the home nations do?
    Vardy + Kane to fire us to the Semis where we will lose on Penalties. Wales to just sneak through and go out in the round of 16. N.Ireland + Ireland to go home without a win. Scotland to dream of what might have been while Gordon Strachan cries into his deep fried mars bar.

    3. Who will be the surprise package?
    Sweden. Zlatan will be up for his last tournament. I fancy them to get at least a draw against Italy.

    4. Top Scorer?
    Thomas Muller. Most reliable and consistent player on the international stage.

    1. I'm fancying Belgium. Yes, they had a fairly average World Cup but they've experienced it on the big stage now. The squad they have is quality but they also have a 'no fear' attitude

    2. England - quarters
    Wales + Northern Ireland - second round
    Ireland - Groups

    3. Austria. Very underrated side. A side not to be messed with and the only unfashionable side I fancy doing something of note

    I've fancied France to beat us in the final all along.

    As for the other home nations, can't see any getting beyond round 2, with Northern Ireland being the potential surprise of the pack I reckon.

    Iceland are dark horses for me. At one stage in the qualifiers they had the 2nd best record behind England and wobbled late on when others needed results, in a group which included the Czech Republic, Turkey and the Dutch. And they were only narrowly beaten in the World Cup play-offs by Croatia.

    Harry Kane I reckon can carry on his league form if we play the right way.
