It is no surprise that the five favourites to win Euro 2016 – France, Germany, Spain, England and Belgium – are the five teams with the most valuable squads. England which have the youngest team in the tournament will face Russia as their first challenge while Wales takes on Slovakia and Northern Ireland has Poland. Meanwhile France is bracing itself for a major influx of football fans.
