Front to back, on paper at the moment; Belgium, France, Portugal, Netherlands and England have the best looking teams for Euro 2020.

At full strength, most complete is between France and Belgium with Portugal following.

I gotta give the edge to Belgium. Just as defensively sound but just clicking better on the offensive end.

If Giroud is still in the starting 11 come the start of the competition, I'd say it's Belgium's to lose at that point.

I honestly think France should run a 4-2-3-1. Have Griezmann on the RW, Mbappe at No. 9, Pogba at the 10 and Matuidi or Coman on the LW (swap out depending on the opponent). Ndombele and Kante can hold the midfield. Sissoko or Tolisso are also options.

If true, the football Gods have truly blessed us with an abundance of fukkery :blessed:

Anything that excludes Giroud is younger, more dynamic, and a bigger threat. Hell, a front three of Dembele(or Coman), Griezmann, Mbappe would be scary.
