Would a tenner on Portugal to win whole thing be stupid??

No not at all. They are the holders after all and have a better Squad then in 16. Dias, Bernardo Silva, Joao Felix, Bruno Fernandes have come into the Squad since then.

8/1 seems a decent bet

Jaysus they do have a strong squad. The in form CB in the world (Dias), the top scoring midfielder in Bruno, plus obviously Ronaldo still has magic in him. Is Pepe still in the squad?

Pepe and Dias will be the 2 CHs.  Bruno wont be hitting the pens. Cancelo has tested positive for Covid so that is a bit of a blow

They won't be easy beat, tough old group they're in though. Be some achievement to retain the Euros.

There are about 8 teams could realistically win it and they are one of them. It's the end of a long season, players are weary and fatigued physically and mentally but I would still expect the last 4 to be the elite in Europe. Any side can spring a surprise once but I can't see it happening 2 or 3 times in this tournament which is what is needed for an outsider to win it. France, Belguim, Portugal & Italy are the 4 most likely winners and whilst I think France have the best squad on paper, if I was backing anyone it would be Italy.

The thing about the euros is it has been won by total outsiders in the past. Denmark and Greece were not consided as contenders or even dark horses before they won. So the same could happen this year.

The world cup is different it seems to always be won by one of the top 2 or 3 teams.

Even Portugal wouldve been classed as a shock/somewhat a one man team four yrs ago no? Theyre deffo stronger all round than before but the statto in me says its rare for a team to retain the euros but shure fuckitt tear on its only a tenner and theyll give you a sweat for it hopefully

"When it really matters" is the translation of the Danish words at the top.

Turkey ran Germany close in 08 semi too so there is a chance we could see another Greece.

Full attendance in Budapest 67,000 which is giving Hungary a good lift.
