Game 1: Wales v Denmark – Amsterdam We’ve got eight games to get through so I’ll try to be short, sharp, and to the point. Denmark will win this. They have the momentum, a team full of excellent players who all play for each other, and have Christian Eriksen cheering them on from the sidelines….
France The World Cup Winners, if you exclude the English media, are rightly favourites for the tournament.

They perhaps don’t have the same level of household names but it’s still a very good squad. There’s experience with the likes of…
