For football fans it's like Christmas Eve, after a year-long wait, just one day to go until Euro 2020.
Sure the stadiums won't be full and yes, we'll need some luck that players avoid a dreaded positive test but with 51 matches ahead of us, featuring 24 teams, across 11 different countries we should be in for a brilliant four weeks.
France (9/2) will go off as favourites but there's seldom been a major international tournament where so many nations have a fighting chance to carry off the silverware. Seven teams are priced from 9/2 to 8/1 at Bet365, making any kind of pre-tournament predictions very difficult.
Of course, the European Championships is a tournament that has thrown up it's fair share of surprises – the most recent being Denmark's win in 1992 and Greece's surprise victory in 2004. The 24-team format arguably makes it more difficult for a dark horse to go all the way, however with 16 of 24 teams progressing from the group stages every nation will go in to the tournament full of hope.

Another free punt GIBH 4fold at Italy, Denmark, Holland & Austria 16/1+, had to add 1/8 virtual bet that came in aswell so probably around the 14/1+ mark
France and Portugal to qualify from the group of death then meet in the final.
Scotland to qualify from group 2-1 I think, Croatia to finish bottom of their group.
Wales group lowest goals total.
Match 1 Italy v turkey, red card very possible.
Scotland v Czech rep draw.
Continued with the winners last week with 2 place wins 16/1 Morikawa and 33/1 Reed, also had an outright winner with Morikawa at 33/1 for first round leader for a good profit
