Spain are still favourites but they've been in shakey form of late so Germany are my favourites. I don't know enough about the Holland team to judge their chances but Germany tend to do well even with an average side, and that squad looks far better than average. I still can't look at the England squad as being potential finalists, never mind trophy winners. Semis at best, for me (and it's by no means a given that we'll even get past the group stage). The teams I'm most curious about (without necessarily thinking they'll win) are post-Domenech France and what looks like a more attack-minded Italy.
EDIT: Glad to see the English media giving both barrels to John Terry for his participation in Chelsea's post match celebration, in his kit, and shin pads, ffs!!! He was suspended. He didn't participate. The man has no class.
TRIVIA EDIT: FA Cup, Premier League, Serie A, Coppa Italia, Champions League, all won with Italian managers this year. Almost makes me wish Capello had stayed at England ... almost.
