Tournament Forecasts

Before Euro 2020 began, you were asked to make forecasts in answer to five questions:
  1. Which country do you think will win Euro 2020?
  2. Which country would you like to win Euro 2020? (excluding your own country)
  3. Which country is your tip for surprise success? (like Iceland at Euro 2016)
  4. Which country would you like to see crash and burn? (like Spain and England at Euro 2016)
  5. Which player do you think will win the Golden Boot? (score the most goals)
Here are the results of those Forecasts. There are no points awarded for this, it was just for fun....

Six people tipped France to win Euro 2020, and 3 people tipped Spain.
Only Paul and Simon tipped Italy to win Euro 2020. Nobody tipped England...
