Wouldn't be surprised to see Kane do similar at the group stage, but England's inability to score more than once in tournament play & Woy's approach will hamper him.

Muller for me simply because he always turns up in the tournaments & the Germans go deep.

Lots of talk of it being a defensive tournament though apparently

Overall winners? die mannschaft

Player of the Tournament? Martial
How far will England get? First knockout stage
Utd scapegoat? I'm sorry to say again it's moyseh

Overall winners? France
Top scorer? Ronnie
Player of the Tournament? Griezmann

Group D should be good, Spain, Turkey, Czech Republic and Croatia, plenty of needle, compare that to what France and Portugal have

Nani and Renato Sanchez to rip up their group prompting much wailing.

Winners : Germany.
Top Scorer : Griezmann.
Best player : Pogba.
England go out : QF.
United scapegoat: Mourinho.

Belgium in the work sweep! have that!

Think we should have a 'terror' sweepstake as well.

How many, what locations....etc etc

There's no way this competition is going off without some muslamic ray gams doing something.
