I think one person said Spain were going to win.

I think France are the favourites, but it is a knockout competition, so anything can happen.

Bernard O'Shea is talking to us today.

He's a big fan of football.

I'll ask him what his predictions are.

There's a couple of dark horses been mentioned as well.

Norway and Morocco and other countries like that.

But it's a big distraction.

There's the wall chart.

I have the wall chart there.

How many of the 104 games will you be watching?

So if you're in a house that has Love Island fans and football fans, you're in trouble there, aren't you?

Yeah.

Here's the thing that we've been talking about in our house for a while.

It's the exemptions.

So there's a number of pieces on it today in the papers.

Another 1,600 did not.

Most of them were exempted because they received their primary education outside the state.
