Euro 2016

[Supernaut]

Good luck to the Cymraeg - **** me they're gonna need it!

Well after the 1st game I thought my £20 on Belgium was a silly bet, I'm starting to believe again now though

 

[Beefy]

They've got Pogba and Greizmann.More than enough to take care of England.No chance Ireland will knock them out (outdrink them perhaps).

Pogba is crap. Smalling and Cahill are more than capable of dealing with Giroud and England have way too much pace for France's back four. If we get through tonight I don't see any reason to fear the French.

Spain, Germany and Italy on the other hand....

I don't want to get ahead of myself because Iceland will be tricky, but I do look forward to seeing how we get on against a decent team, because I think our attack will worry most defences, as long as ours can shut out the opposition (agree with you about France (plus Kante is suspended), and also agree about Spain and Germany) - I think Italy would sit back against us - they are limited in attack as well. I expect Spain to comfortably beat Italy later.

Thank God we'll only have to beat one of those to make the final :'(

Really? I can't call that one at all. Italy are exactly the kind of side to cause Spain trouble, they are happy with Spain dominating possession. Will be an interesting game I think

 

[Napster]

Hodgson will start with Sterling, Sturridge, Kane as the front three, with Alli, Rooney and Dier in the midfield, with Clyne and Walker coming back as full backs. 6 changes to the line up.

 

[Napster]

Spain/Italy will be 1-1 and Italy will win on penalties.

 

[Jim Levenstein]

Sterling! (shudders)

 

[londonblue]

Sterling! (shudders)

Indeed. It dropped another 3% this morning.

:winking:

 

[MK Shrimper]

Sterling! (shudders)

Indeed. His confidence level is shot, big big gamble by Woy.

I think the Italian defence at the moment is currently overhyped and I think Spain have the movement to open them up. Italy have very little going forward. They don't worry me on paper, but you can't write them off in a tournament.

Sterling!?! What the actual ****.

Do you mean Rose sir?

 

[Napster]

Do you mean Rose sir?

Yes, my apologies.

 

[RHB]

Sterling!?! What the actual ****.

The press expect that Raheem Sterling will start, it doesn't mean he will. I would be amazed if he does.

Could be Roy trying to get some confidence back into him. Let's hope it works because he's been crap since leaving L'pool

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

Out of a choice of Llanana or Sterling I would go Sterling. Llalana has never scored for England, hardly scored for Liverpool. He is similar to James Milner, cant question his attitude or work-rate but sympomatic of why England score so few goals at majour tournaments recently. Sterling can stick two fingers up to the critics tonight.

 

[BrettieAngell]

True, I hope that is the case because picking a guy so blatantly out of form and lacking confidence in such an important game would be crazy when you have other better options.

 

[Ricky Otto]

The press line ups have been spot on so far this tournament, they obviously have inside knowledge. Reckon it'll be exactly as reported
