We could already speculate who the title favorites are. What is certain is that France is the absolute favorite. Followed by Germany, England, Italy. Then come countries such as Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands and possibly Belgium. In Belgium it was known that a number of players are going to stop. I'm afraid you won't have much left of that world team from 2 years ago. Hazard will never be top again. De Bruijne can last a few more years. Germany has a huge advantage because all matches are played in Germany, but then they will have to play better. At the World Cup, they gave away the entire tournament against Japan in just 15 minutes. And they even trailed against Costa Rica. The glorious times seem to be over for this team that may be in need of rejuvenation/renewal.

I very much agree with you, France is the favourite
Germany plays well, but they don't have many people to put in the ball, if nobody scores a goal you don't win
Italy, let's leave it alone, it's been a broken team for years
they don't let young people who don't grow up play and therefore we have a broken team

It amazes me how no one mentions Croatia when they are talking about favorites. I know that Croatia usually doesn't play great in UEFA Euro tournaments, but they finished last two FIFA World Cups in second and third place. They have few players that are suppose to leave the national team, but I think they could be considered as a hidden favorite.

Well even Spain and Portugal are not to be underestimated and I agree with you, Croatia can give you a hard time
but also Holland, let's not forget, who play quite well
and how can we not forget little Switzerland
there are many difficult teams to face, we were only talking about who is slightly favourites

@babo Im kinda surprised as to why do people yet feel that Germany is the favourite to win this tournament, because even with the home advantage Im pretty sure that theyll be eliminated early because they no longer play the fearless football liked they used to play in the past. Furthermore for me its either France or England thatll be winning this tournament, because both have excellent squad of players who can help them win this tournament.
