I think Germany and Italy have the best chance. They are playing the best football in Europe right now.

I said Italy because of patriotism, but historically Italy always did well when was completely out of consideration and failed when among the favorites...
Hopefully they will reverse the trend...

I think the Germans will win it because they have the easiest road to the finals (and the fact I live with Germans (and a Dutchman) atm). If not the Germans you can not discount the French, the Italians or the Dutch, Portuguese or the Spanish. Should be an interesting tournament (and perhaps a close one - particularly the group of death).
