You can relive the Coral Euro 2016 preview night with highlights above!

21:31 That’s a wrap! Thanks for joining us. Enjoy Euro 2016, and be sure to have a bet with Coral!

21:30 Langdon weighs in:

21:29 Hamann has his say:

21:28 And Arry’s two pence:

21:27 Houghton hints:

21:25 Last of our offers! Cristiano Ronaldo to be top tournament scorer at an enhanced 10/1. Tasty, and available for next 10-20 minutes.

21:22 Euro 2016 panel’s fantasy five-a-side:

21:20 Citizen Kane! Houghton admires how Harry Kane shoots from any angle. Well you’ve got to, haven’t you?!

21:17 Panel on top scorers: Langdon thinks Mario Gomez a punt, Hamann likes Lewandowski!

21:15 On to the top scorer market: Muller, Ronaldo, Griezmann, Kane lead the way. Who do you fancy? Have a punt on the Euro 2016 Golden Boot.

21:13 Redknapp’s damning judgment: “Poor group”. Enough said then. Don’t mince words ‘Arry!

21:11 The Ronaldo show! It’s Group F at last. Portugal and Austria attractive:

21:09 Our penultimate offer: England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland to qualify for the last 16 at 14/1. Terrific value, and only there for the taking for a limited time only! Max bet €/£50 for online and mobile customers!

21:04 Euros one to watch?

21:00 No consensus… ‘Arry likes Belgium, Langdon doesn’t. Hamann interested in Italy:

20:58 Houghton upbeat on the Repbulic of Ireland! Likes Martin O’Neill and his man management. Thinks the Irish can get after the big boys in this pool.

20:55 Moving on to Group E… Are Sweden are one-man team like Langdon says? #DaretoZlatan Very critical of Belgian tactics to boot!

20:53 Houghton weighs in on Croatia: “They’re going to be hardy, they’re going to be tough!”

20:48 Can Spain reign again with a difficult Group D? Langdon concerned they’ve started slowly at previous tournaments! “I think Croatia have got an outstanding midfield.”

20:46 Offer alert! Germany to win Euro 2016 at 5/1 (enhanced from 4/1). Only available for the next 10-15 minutes! Online and mobile customers only, max stake €/£50.

20:40 Redknapp on Northern Ireland: “They might draw with Ukraine, but that’s the best Northern Ireland can hope for. They’re out of their depth in this group!” Ouch.

20:38 Down on the Germans… Panel are not optimistic:

 

20:34 Hamann on his homeland Germany: “They lost 400 caps in Klose, Mertesacker and captain Lahm after the World Cup.” Injury absences and fitness of skipper Schweinsteiger also a worry.

20:32 Group C misery for Northern Ireland… World Cup winners Germany, prolific Poland and Ukraine their opposition. Langdon likes the look of all three of those getting through!

20:30 Offer alert! A British or Irish player to be player of the tournament at 8/1! Get this special price while you can! Next 10-15 minutes.

20:27 No to WAGS! Houghton doesn’t like distractions. Who says romance is dead?

20:22 Are England a punt to reach the quarters or semis? Something for you to decide, dear punters. Where’s your money going on the Three Lions at Euro 2016?

‘Arry love the England/Wales straight forecast. It’s a real shout:

20:18 What about Slovakia? Langdon thinks they may have slipped under the radar: “[Marek] Hamsik makes them tick. They beat Germany the other day!”

20:15 Houghton evoking memories of his own… Ahead of England v Wales: “We played England in our opening game back in ’88. Nobody outside of Ireland gave us a prayer!

How do you stop Gareth Bale? Don’t ask me! One for Chris Smalling, and he better have an answer! Hamann’s advice: “Keep his back to goal!”

20:12 Russians too old? A 36-year-old and two that are 33 in Russia’s defence? Langdon doesn’t like their chances, and England can go out there and win this group!

20:09 Who made the England cut? Remind yourselves who Hodgson named in the final 23-man Three Lions squad for Euro 2016! Oh, and our experts have some defensive concerns about England…

20:07 Let’s talk tactics… What system would you use if you were Hodgson at Euro 2016? A midfield three, or the diamond, or something else? Tweet us @Coral with your views!

20:05 The Rooney question. The majority of our panel feel England skipper Wayne Rooney should be starting at the Euros. After all, he’s the record scorer for his country!

20:03 Best price guarantee! If you back any team in the Euro 2016 outright betting on mobile, Coral will match the top odds available. No questions asked.

mobile

20:01 Wilshere watch? If Arsenal’s ex-captain Jack mobile enough to play deep against the best in Europe? Houghton and Hamann have doubts about the Pirlo role suiting the injury-prone Gunner. As Redknapp points out: “Roy likes him there.”

19:58 Onto Group B then. England firm favourites to top this pool and qualify ahead of Russia, Wales and outsiders Slovakia.

Houghton thinks Roy Hodgson’s gamble on Marcus Rashford for Euro 2016 is exactly that. Could be be a Theo Walcott of 2006 World Cup fame? Redknapp would’ve taken Townsend!

19:56 Offer alert! Be patriotic! England at 12/1 (boosted from 10/1,already enhanced from 17/2) to win Euro 2016 outright! Tasty, and with those young Lions roaring, why not eh? Limited time only for mobile and online customers. Next 20 minutes, max bet €/£50.

19:52 Group A predictions: Our experts unanimous that France are worthy favourites to top the pool! Fancy a bet on Euro 2016? Head over to our sister site!

19:50 Old Guard? The panel are worried about that ageing France defence. Just so happens we wrote all about that recently!

19:48 A quick plug for our daily matchday specials, enhanced multiples and half-time pirce boosts. Right throughout the Euros:

19:46 Redknapp on hosts France: “It’s a good French squad and they’ve got home advantage. I see them going a long way; at least to the semi-finals.”

19:44 Mark Langdon thinks there’s value in backing Albania to reach the knockout phase… First-time qualifiers may know no fear on their tournament debut! Ray Houghton agrees!

19:42 Let’s start with Group A. Hosts France favourites of course.

19:40 Redknapp on the Home Nations: “England v Wales, what a game that’s going to be!” Absolutely, ‘Arry, but he says he’s at Royal Ascot that day!

19:37 Hamann hints… Former Germany midfielder Didi Hamann feels smaller nations must come into Euro 2016 with confidence they can overcome footballing heavyweights.
