France-ranked 2nd 5-1 odds. Euro record from 1960 when they came 4th out of 4! Did not qualify until 1984-when they WON, Semi-Final in 1996, WON in 2000, QFinal 2004,2012, Runners Up 2016. They would be Chelsea as an English Club; plenty of trophies despite a few squabbles. Eurovision 12 pts to Turkey and NUL to North Macedonia. In 1905, England beat France 15-0 in Paris. We were spreading the word of football across the Channel.
Germany- ranked as low as 12th odds 15-2. EURO: WON 1972, 1980, 1996: Runners Up 1976, 1992, 2008: Semi-final 1988, 2012, 2016...if they were an English club they might be Man Utd! Historic inevitability. They have LOST 7 international tournament finals. They would give Turkey 12 Eurovision pts and Belarus NUL. They have 6 Premier League players.
Spain-Ranked 6th odds 8-1...12 pts to Portugal (neighbours) in Eurovision; NUL to Albania. Spain is the second larget producer of cars in the EU behind Germany. If they were an English club? Arsenal-once a force, but still attractive. WON 1964, 2008, 2012.
Sweden-Ranked 18th Odds 80-1: Sweden is still owed £210 million by North Korea after defaulted payments on imported Volvos in the 1970s. If an English club? Capello's English team, outdated, hard to beat, never going to match the best. Norway gets 12 pts in Eurovision and NUL to the UK...bastards. Semi-final in 1992. EURO 1992 SF; 2004 QF.
Poland-Ranked 21st odds 66-1: The Bialowieza is Europe's last ancient forest, home to 800 European Bison. NUL pts to Bosnia and Herzegovina; 12pts to Ukraine.If they were an English club-Brentford..not a bad side, reliant on men up front....Lewandoski re-Ivan Toney. Euro: 2016 QF.
