Northern Ireland have met all requirements for the first run through.
How can it work?
Great inquiry - on the grounds that, interestingly, there
are 24 groups contending in the finals. That is an expansion from the 16 that
had joined in each release since it was facilitated in England in 1996.
With six gatherings of four groups, it implies the main two
will meet all requirements for the last 16, or more the four best third-set
finishers. At the end of the day, just eight groups will neglect to qualify

Who is going to win?
As Greece demonstrated by pulling off an incredible triumph
at Euro 2004, attempting to anticipate a victor is a troublesome diversion.
Title holders Germany are justifiably one of the top picks,
while holders Spain are additionally short chances with the bookmakers.
Germany completed top of their capability assemble however
reserving their place in France was not without its hiccups - with thrashings
by Poland and the Republic of Ireland. They have been beaten by France and
England since qualifying yet stay one to watch.
Spain overwhelmed universal football somewhere around 2008
and 2012 yet neglected to qualify from their gathering at the 2014 World Cup.
Would this be able to be a last hurrah for Vicente del Bosque's maturing yet
splendid side?

What are the odds of
a home triumph?
France won the World Cup as hosts in 1998 - would they be
able to rehash the well known achievement of the group drove by Didier
Deschamps, Zinedine Zidane and Laurent Blanc?
A keep running into the last stages by Les Bleus is prone to
reestablish national spirit in a country still recovering from last year's
deadly Paris attacks.
France are the bookmakers' top picks to win the entire
thing, yet their structure is precarious to gage since they didn't need to fit
the bill for this competition.
Quick on the counter and brought together following quite a
while of inward division, look out for skilled midfielders Paul Pogba and
Blaise Matuidi.
However, they can't call upon productive Real Madrid striker
Karim Benzema. The French Football Federation (FFF) said he would not be picked
in the wake of being researched as far as concerns him in a charged plot to
coerce Les Bleus buddy Mathieu Valbuena, who did not make the squad.
Apprehension, confidence and football - can the excellent
diversion join France?
Shouldn't something be said about the home countries?
All things considered, there are three of them in France -
just Scotland passed up a major opportunity - in addition to the Republic of
Ireland. It will get swarmed as well, since England and Wales are both in Group
B, alongside Russia and debutants Slovakia.
Try not to anticipate that much work will complete when
England and Wales play each other - that match in Lens will be indicated live
on BBC One, kick-off 14:00 BST, on Thursday, 16 June.

Chris Coleman's side achieved their first real competition in 57 years
subsequent to losing only once in capability.
Northern Ireland may have various players from England's
lower alliances yet they completed top of their qualifying bunch, losing only
one of their 10 matches.
Striker Kyle Lafferty couldn't get an amusement for club
side Norwich amid qualifying (he has following been advanced to Birmingham)
however he scored seven vital objectives in nine diversions for his nation.
Who will be the star
players?
Genuine Madrid whiz Cristiano Ronaldo, who was voted the
world's second best player behind Argentina's Lionel Messi in the 2015 Ballon
d'Or vote, heads an elegant cast.
Ronaldo will lead Portugal's test, while Wales trust his
club-mate Gareth Bale - the world's most costly player - can change his great
La Liga structure onto the universal stage.
World Cup victors Germany gloat a large group of stellar
names who have inspired in past competitions, most strikingly Bayern Munich
goalkeeper Manuel Neuer and forward Thomas Muller in addition to Real Madrid
midfielder Toni Kroos.
France's test is set to be driven by vivacious Juventus
midfielder Paul Pogba, who is still apparently pursuing the consideration of a
few English Premier League sides.
Belgium are not shy of star quality either. Head League pair
Eden Hazard and Kevin de Bruyne will lead their journey for a first significant
competition win, however the Red Devils are without harmed commander Vincent
Kompany.
Also, Sweden whiz Zlatan Ibrahimovic, 34, will would like to
light up a universal competition for what could be the last time.
The Netherlands' inability to qualify leaves Bayern Munich
winger Arjen Robben watching from home, while his club-mate Franck Ribery was
not named in the France squad, in spite of recommendations he was thinking
about consummation his universal retirement.
