France is not the only one rubbing their hands at the prospect of adding to their World Cup trophy, a handful of teams, such as Belgium, will be looking to make their make in June when the tournament kicks off in Rome.
Who are the favourites?
After going through the entire qualifying stage unbeaten, Roberto Martinez’s side scored 40 goals and only conceded 3. They’re overwhelming favourites and will look to finish better than their third place position in the World Cup.
Defending champions, Portugal, will look to fight tooth and nail to defend their title, however with an aging squad and not much in the way of young talent, they’ll find it hard to compete to keep up with younger and more resilient teams such as Italy.
Roberto Mancini will look to rally the Azzuri at the Euro’s when they face Turkey in their opening match on 12 June. Germany’s early exit at the World Cup should be motivation enough for them to come back stronger at the Euro’s, their team is littered with young talent however it’ll take it’ll take more than just talent if they have any ambitions of lifting this prestigious trophy.
