Lee Davy explains why he still backs England to win Euro 2016 after Poland, Portugal, Wales, Belgium, Germany and France all booked passage into the quarterfinals.

Germany is the favourite to win Euro 2016 after beating the Slovakians in Lille on Sunday. It’s the first time the French have been ousted from the top spot in the betting markets since the qualifying round ended.

The World Champions struck gold when pitted against a Slovakian side defeated against the Welsh in the opening group game, followed by a convincing win against the Russians, before the bore draw against England.

Nothing in those three games suggested Slovakia would pose much of a threat against Germany, and that included Marek Hamšík – the Napoli star who is always spoken of so highly but has largely failed to deliver – his wonder goal against Russia aside.
