Without England, who would have obviously??? walked Euro 2008, who do you think will end up winning the cup? Virtual pint on offer to whoever gets closest but I'm going to stick my neck out and say France.
They have the toughest group, with Italy and The Netherlands and Romania (who will be no walkovers) but I can see them squeezing through. France don't concede many goals and I can see this being a low-scoring tournament in general.
i'm not trying to sound too biased here but I honestly think the premier league is the best league in the world and about a third of their squad either play (or played - Henry!) in the premiership for one of the top 4 clubs.
At 9/1 best price but quite a lot of it available, you'll have a wonderful value bet on your hands if they survive the 'group of death'.
The other value bet is Sweden at 33/1 and slightly bigger on the exchanges. I can see their grit helping them advance with Spain in group D and again, huge value on offer.
Good luck with whoever you select!
