Scotland v Germany in the tournament opening match. Fair enough group. Good one for England. Tough one for Wales if they get through the play offs.

And I'll bet there will be a few sighs of relief at UEFA that Israel have been knocked out.

BBC pundits on who they think will win the tournament.

It's a really tired trope and she's paid (I assume) to give considered opinions on footballing matters.
