Just checked the odds for this - England are the favs just ahead of Belgium and France.

With the form of Stones / Fogden / Kane and semifinals and final at home they have a fighting chance. 
The only question would be defence and do they have the bottle?

Lots of attacking options -
Sterling 
Kane
Foden
Sancho 
Rashford
Grealish

They are about 12/1 and have a better team than in 2016.
Ronnie is still knocking them in and Dias / Felix / Fernandez / Cancelo all in good form.

Would like to Spain or Belgium win it. Don’t fancy England against a real heavyweight. Don’t like France, find them boring to watch.

That’s a massive price! If only they could find a top quality CB to partner Dias in the next few months.

I fancy England against anyone apart from France. Attacking wise we have some of the best players in the world. Plus a plethora of top fullbacks.  Defensively we look stronger with stones back to his best. Hopefully gomez. Tomori playing for Milan. Young defenders playing well like konsa. I would say semi finals is realistic

Andre Silva has 18 in 20. Not quite lived up to his next CR7 tag but he's finally showing quality after his disastrous spell at Milan.

Not sure how they're gonna fit all 4 attacking players in a system but the 12/1 is seriously undervalued odds.

I’d like Belgium to win it but I’m not sure if their defence is good enough.

On current form I would go with this 11:

Rui Patricio
Cancelo 
Dias
Ruben Semedo
Guerreiro
Danilo Pereira
Ruben Neves
Bruno Fernandes
Bernardo Silva 
Joao Felix
Ronaldo

Bench isn’t bad either with the likes of Jota, Andre Silva, Trincao, Moutinho, Guedes and Ricardo Pereira to name a few.

Italy could be an outside bet. A decent squad, if they can keep Immobile fit he's lethal in front of goal. I like Belotti aswell. Probably not strong enough to win it but you never know.

Using the recent nations league as a guide I wouldn’t fancy them to win the tournament.

England failed to score in 3 of the 4 games against Denmark and Belgium (the standard of team theyll meet in the knockout stage) despite having all these best players in the world.

Semis is a possibility but that can be said about 10 teams.
Italy look good value.

We luckily get to play them in a few months! Hopefully they have a Euro hangover.

They're overdue a Keeper cock-up for the who world to see again also!

Pickford has been awful, Pope hasn't been great which hasn't been helped by his defence and Henderson doesn't play so another calamity at the back is inevitable

Would tend to agree with Coyner somewhat. Biggest weakness is probably at GK. Also if they win their group they the play the runner up of Group F likely to be one of Portugal, Germany or France (With all due respect to Hungary) in the last 16
