Episode 2

Preview: Group A - Italy, Turkey, Switzerland, Wales

In the first of our preview episodes we're taking a long hard look at Group A!

Italy are favourites and spend 2 hours unveiling Roberto Mancini's squad on national tv that includes rap battles, frying pans as musical instruments and a healthy dose of national pride as the entire squad sing the national anthem as the credits role.

Turkey are one of Danny's dark horses but Neil and Charles are having none of it. There's not a chance in hell that a team with a 35 year old striker will make the semi's. Burak Yilmaz may have scored 16 times in Ligue 1 for champions, Lille but even Neil could score in Ligue 1!

Everybody's favourite neutrals, Switzerland are the least known to our intrepid podders. Roy Hodgson may have once managed them but our only memory of the Swiss is that 'calm before the storm' game at Euro '96.

Wales. Wales. Wales. What more can be said? Former Northampton manager Rob Page will probably try playing Gareth Bale at right back so the less said about them the better to be honest.
