Euro 2020: France and England are top favourites, says Belgium veteran Jan Vertonghen

Jan Vertonghen, who is Belgium’s record caps holder with 127, and Dris Mertens, who has made 98 appearances for the country, both named France and England as their top tips for the tournament, which kicks off on Friday.

Belgium veterans Jan Vertonghen and Dries Mertens believe their top-ranked team is not among the favourites for Euro 2020. Both Belgium veterans have backed France and England as their top favourites for the tournament. "I don't see us as the big favourites, but we are not far from it," Vertonghen told a news conference on Thursday. “The top favourites for me are France and England. “But I do know that we can beat any country. We have beaten England a few times in recent years and we can do the same with France.
