Group E - the one everyone has been waiting for. Can the Republic of Ireland get out of the group?

Our Prophets for Profit - the Sunday Independent's and ESPN's Miguel Delaney and Nathan Murphy of Newstalk - continue their group by group preview with their €200 in charity bets from Ladbrokes.

How will the Republic get on? Will the heavyweights go far? Here's what they think:

After being careful with his money, Nathan goes all out by backing Belgium. Each way to win the tournament, and Eden Hazard as top goalscorer at 33/1 represent putting a lot of faith in Wilmots' men. Delaney was similarly confident that Italy would reach the final, sticking €20 on it at 8/1.

Ireland's fortunes were mentioned, Delaney expecting 1-1 draws against Sweden and either Italy or Belgium. There is optimism that Ireland could get out of the group - but the thought is that the last 16 will be as far as O'Neill's men will go. As for Ireland's top scorer - Ciaran Clark is the outside tip that both Delaney and Murphy agreed on - with no money on it.

Groups F is still to come over the weekend and if you missed Groups AB, C, and D over the last couple of days, you can find them here.
