After Lupo's prompting on the International Football thread I thought it was worth starting a dedicated thread.
So, what we thinking?
Who are you supporting (if your home country's not there...)?
Who do you think will win?
Predictions for top scorer?
Breakout young star likely to be linked with a £100m move to Chelsea?
I'm just hoping Scotland can give a decent account of ourselves and still have something to play for come Matchday 3 against Hungary......
I think England have a chance this time around, especially as the performance in defeat to France at the World Cup was an improvement on previous tournaments.
I don't think Italy are as strong as at the last Euros but you never know.
Not ideal prep for England but think friendly results definitely need to be taken with a pinch of salt this close to the tournament. You could see in the Gibraltar and Finland games a few times when Scotland players basically pulled out of 50/50 challenges to preserve their health. Very sensible behaviour!
Aww, bless that must have been a great day for the wee ones. My nephews would love to have been there.
Steady, Duncan, we've only just started qualifying for tournaments again, lol.
Yeah, and Hungary are considerably better than most people realise....Switzerland might have a few players past their prime, but are still very decent as well....
Luckily Steve Clarke will ensure the players are more positive about their chances than some of us fans are....
On that subject here's more of Super John McGinn to brighten up your day
But Germany first game may work in Scotland's favour, sometimes the big teams take time to get their mojo on, with Germany being on home soil, they may be a bit nervy, also, this is not the greatest German team we've ever seen. Hopefully, we got at them, take our chances and defend well.

That's more like it Dels, with players like Robertson, Tierney, Gilmour, McGinn and International goal machine McTominay, there's no reason why we can't pose them plenty of problems!
