Ray Posted November 22, 2023 Author Share Posted November 22, 2023 Not really any teams in Pot 1 that could be considered an easier option, but would prefer Germany because they are hosts, and being involved in the opening game could be good. Germany - Could potentially upset the odds against them, not done well in tournaments lately, but home advantage could change that. Portugal - Qualifiers: Played 10, Won 10. France - They are likely favourites to win the tournament. Can't see us getting anything against them. England - Could make for a great game, but rather not play them again. Belgium - Golden generation getting older, but class players such as Doku emerging. Wouldn't expect to get a result, but would prefer them to France / Portugal. Spain - Think we can't draw them due to qualifying together? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have shown we can get a result against them. Agree. Spain are eminently beatable, France look a different class. Portugal flying high. England, I don’t want the aggro. So that leaves Belgium, star is waning. Germany, get them first game, cause an upset. My pot 1 order is Belgium Spain Germany Portugal France England Thing is, pot one won’t be where we decide last 16 or not. It will be getting a decent 2 and 4. We have to avoid Italy in pot 4, that would be a disaster. J Edited November 24, 2023 by Bristolhibby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure with the group Portugal had in qualifying how good they are.I know you can only beat the teams in front of you but their group was one of the easiest i have seen.It really was.

They are pish. Had the easiest group in Euro qualification history. We skudded them 0-4 only a few years ago. Worse ranked team in pot 2.
