As hosts, they won't play a competitive match until the tournament starts. Form will bj difficult to gauge as will the harmony in the camp. Granted, they have some truly world-class players but they do like the odd argument or 20! It's a surprise they'ri favourites. And a best price of 4-1 (Hill's/Tote/Coral) is unlikely to get anzonj excited. ——————————————————————————————————2/6—— PREMIERSHIP Check out your top team 170 20-1 WJNNE GUINEASPUNT p568/3P593 Teletext 593 May02 03:57:32 ———— —————————————————— WHERE WJRJ THE GERMANS? Germany, despite their problems, are still being widely tipped to retain the trophy. You can get 9-1 (Tote/Ladbrokjs Coral) on the European champions. Qualification appears a citt in a group containing the heavyweight nations of Turkey, Finland, N Ireland and Moldova. But don't bj tempted by what might seem great odds. This is a team which bears little of no relation to the great German teams of the past.
