LT has asked me who will win the Euro 2020 (now 2021) this year. I have no idea but I think Belgium, France, Italy and Germany are the favorites this year.
I have been a great fan of England since I was a tiny weeny kid but the English always love to disappoint at the end! The last time they won anything was back in 1966 on home ground. So, the next time, you expect England to win is if any major tournament goes back to London!
Well, England hosted the 1996 Euro but failed to make it to the finals. Denmark and Greece shocked the world with their victories in the Euro but it will take a while for a dark horse to win the Euro anytime soon!
Football really unites people. The World Cup is going to happen next year but today, let's focus on the Euro 2020 or shall we call it UEFA Euro 2020 Championship to be correct!
Belgium has a good team with brilliant strikers and so does France. Italians are always good at defending and scoring while Germans are Germans. Germany failed in the last World Cup due to the winners' curse hola but they are a great team.
The last great Euro Championship was probably in 1988 when Holland showed the world how to play beautiful football again. We expected them to win the World Cup later but it never happened.
Portugal got lucky during the last Euro and we don't expect Portugal to do wonders this time around. England will probably get to the quarterfinals and falter. They are a good, young team but something doesn't click when they perform out their in the field.
I am rooting for Belgium this year. The Germans, Italians and the French have won their share. Let's root for the Belgians this time! Let's see how it goes!
