@tazmantasik Italy’s form went down the drain and if you see their last few matches their performance was really bad, hence I’m not at all surprised to see those odds for them. Also for me France and England are the obvious favourites, but as I have seen in the past that the favourites don’t always win so there’s yet hope for Italy to win and impress us like they used to do in the past.
That's the problem and the beauty of football competitions. To win the title a team needs to have luck, not only quality. Because in knockout games one red card or one penalty can make all the difference and otherwise inferior team can win. That's why I actually don't like to say that some team will probably win a competition because you never know. Look at Croatia and how they played at the last two World Cups. They finished as second and third team and I honestly can't say (even though I'm from Croatia) that Croatia is one of the top three teams in the world.
