Can see France and England being held back by dressing room politics.

Feel as though a Holland-Spain final would be the perfect end to the recent cross-football narrative involving Total Football and Tiki-Taka.

Top goalscorer, Podolski, another romantic choice, owing to the fact that he’s Polish. Though I think there’s a big trend towards strikerless formations, with goals coming from midfield these days.

Someone like Van Der Vaart could be the player of the tournament. A creative set piece specialist. Him or Keith Andrews.
