every englishman underrating italy as always, never seen the english think Italy is going to win anything, they always bet for spain or another country, I like it
That's the worst prediction I've ever seen like unironically what's wrong with you? Do you not remember the world cup just gone? Have you payed no attention to qualifying? They've been scraping results against some of the lowest quality nations in Europe along with some really bad losses and draws and even nearly lost to San Marino. You need help.
Eze goes, no need for grealish and even if that you don’t need 3 out and out strikers espically when half the wingers can also play there, eze can play all across the front line and midfield, Toney plays st that is it
While Portugal have managed their chemistry and mixed in youth with mature players, I believe that have been hyped a bit too much and come tournament time that might all change. This stems from their fairly easy EURO qualifying group that made every game look like a cake walk. Still just my prediction and I could be totally wrong who knows 🤷♂️
This is really tough because they do have quality at many positions but, assuming they’re fit and in form, I would go with a 4-3-2-1 formation and a starting 11 of… Kepa (GK) Cucurella (LB) , Colwill (CB), Fofana (CB), James (RB) Caicedo (CDM), Enzo (CAM), Lavia (M) Mudryk (LW), Palmer (RW) Nkuku (ST) I’m meeting this lineup with the assumption that CG is gonna get sold. If he doesn’t he would be in Lavia’s position
really surprised at how pragmatic all the england fans are being about their predictions. surely if portugal have it in them to win the final against france england can pull it off in the semi?
By predicting England v Denmark draw (which could happen) it puts the possibility of England not winning their group, hence a different last 16 draw !!!!
Why is everyone bigging up ukraine so much. Slovakia finish 2nd in that group and Romania finish bottom and theyll be the ones getting spanked by everyone
Spain to top their group comfortably with Spaletti's Italy in their group? You're worried about Italy's attack when Spain uses Morata and 16-year old Yamal? From my pov Spain have a higher chance of finishing 3rd than 1st in their group.
@@EvieWillNotDie Come with some reasoning please, prove me otherwise. I have Italy as group winners in my company's betting pool so I could use some insights from someone who claims to know ball.
Dont sleep on romania. I understand why you would think this of romania but they did face a really inform colombia and had a result of 3:2, which since the start of 2023 only 3 other country's has done, no other country scoring more than 2 against colombia since 2020. Since the start of 2023 ,Germany, Brazil, and the USA all failed to score, not scoring a single goal. so romania had a better performance than than Germany and brazil against colombia in the last year. Romania obviously went undefeated in their qualifying group, but also, since the start of 2022, out of the 22 games they played during that time ,they only lost 6 games. They scream of dark horse. BTW I'm not romanian. I'm mexican.

Hey James, just wanted to say that I first started watching your videos during the last Euros -- it feels like a full circle moment to be back here for another tournament. Love the channel and appreciate all of your efforts!
Portugal - overrated as always If Portugal performed as people always expected them to do, they would have had won atleast 3 international trophies in the last 10 years
Hungary are shit I expect them to come last place. Don’t get what people are seeing. John Mcgin and mctominay > szboblai. If he didn’t have a sexy name people would say he’s mid
Hungary are the opposite of that like what's wrong with you? They're easily top 2 in the group? They're unbeaten in years? Football isn't played on paper? This is basic?
