Probably a good outside bet if you fancied a longer odds punt. With players like Benteke and Hazard, they've got the capabilities of beating anyone. Likewise Fellaini is a complete bastard to play against.

A good outside bet to get to the semis maybe, but when they come up against a Germany/Italy/Spain/Argentina etc. at that stage they will go out I think - at that stage its not just about having talented players.

One tournament too early for them, I reckon. If we were heading towards the euros now, with then a further two years til a world cup, perhaps. Maybe in five years they'll be unstoppable!

Can't see a European team winning the World Cup in South America. Colombia will win it.

I remember Leeds having thirty passes against Southampton in the 70s. Mind you they were taking the mick. Its probably on You Tube well worth a watch.

I remember that, as well.

I'm not watching it, though. I still hate Leeds, mainly because that was what you were meant to do when I was a kid.
