After winning the World Cup in dominant fashion in 2014, many will be expecting Joachim Loew's Germany side to go on and win this summer's European Championship in France. In all honesty, their 23-man squad for the Euros probably won't differ too much from their World Cup winning side, however it would be foolish to think that Germany will have everything their own way.

Host nation France may be Germany's main contenders this summer, and with good reason. Didier Deschamps' men are in tremendous form and will be full of confidence, especially with the full backing of their home fans. France have an incredibly young yet talented squad and their psychological qualities will face a major test this summer. Can they cope with the added pressure of winning the competition on home soil?

Meanwhile, Spain must also be regarded as one of the leading candidates despite a disappointing performance at the Brazil World Cup. At the time of writing, Betway are offering 5/1 on Vicente del Bosque's men to win another major tournament and it would take a brave man to back against them. On their day, Spain are as good as anybody in international football and both Germany and France will be very wary of the 2008 winners.

While both of these nations stand a great chance of winning the tournament, it's certainly Germany's trophy to lose. If there's one advantage that the Germans have over both France and Spain, it's consistency. Their team will be more or less the same group of players who won in Brazil whilst France are still very young and Spain are going through a transition period right now.

Although the competition will be televised, most people won't have the luxury of being able to watch every match. Fortunately, you can follow the scorelines at a betting site like Betway throughout the entire tournament. Whether you're interested in Germany's results, England's upcoming fixtures or Belgium's latest team news, they can keep you up to date on everything-Euro 2016.

So, who's it to be? Will it be Deschamps' youthful French side who win it in emotional fashion on home soil or can Spain earn yet another major tournament victory for the legendary Del Bosque? Both teams are capable of winning the trophy this summer but right now, it's hard to see past Germany. Joachim Loew's men are just too strong and continuity could well be the key to their success this summer.
