Seems Croatia are going to stand while England take the knee.
Should make for a fruity atmosphere in matchday 1. |

Having seen our 2 friendly games recently and 2 or 3 other games played this week, I think we'll struggle to get out of our group, Croatia, could well beat us again and the Scotland game will be their Cup Final, so not expecting us to beat them either, while the Czech Republic will be no easy game either. I know we put out our b team in those friendlies, but the signs really aren't good. Spain, Portugal and Germany look very strong and would be far too good for us and thats before we even get to Belguim, Italy and whoever the surprise sides might be. but not expecting England to be one of those.

And I forget France who played far better than we are capable of.

the hypes already started if england are joint favorites. seen far better england teams over the years, this one has loads of individual quality to give the czechs and scotland a good beating, but come up short against quality opposition over the past few years. might be better coming second in the group and avoiding france/germany/portugal, and get a run into the semis

Tell you what, I'm no anorak and wouldn't be looking to analyze [ANY] team but, I hadn't realised the strength of Portugal's 1st eleven.
I know Ronaldo's knocking on now but all same ....... Was looking at the line-up last night when they played Israel. That group, F, it's one helluva group, fascinating. We shall see eh? |

I said exactly the same on another thread. Their team is almost like an all star eleven! Not one position where they don't have a really good player. Shame in a way that one of those three teams in group F won't go through as for me they should be three of the final four. |

By:
TARTAN B, either Germany or France are going to lose their opening game.
And then the loser is going have to play Portugal at some point. If I [HAD] to pick one for an early exit I go for Germany. Interesting, I think. |
|
By:
Of course France and German could DRAW their opening game?
I think it's very tight, you could make a claim for any of the three not making it through. I watched Germany the other night too, it was only Latvia I know but they won 7-1 with seven different scorers! |
|
By:
Of course, I was forgetting, there doesn't [have] to be a winner, it's points isn't it.
Would like to see an early goal in [that] one. |
|
By:
Just had a look at that Latvia game.
Six different goal-scorers, and [Werner] got one. |
|
By:
Yes I think the Germans brought two Subs on, Werner and Sane and they both scored!
Such a shame those three are in the same group when other groups are very one sided. Surely England for instance must be top two as paired with two poor teams. Same happened at World Cup, England beat a bunch of second raters and next thing you know they're in the Semi Final! Whereas Round of 16 FRANCE V ARGENTINA URUGUAY V PORTUGAL Then Quarter Finals URUGUAY V FRANCE BRAZIL V BELGIUM Shame it works out like that I'd like to see the best teams in the final 4 at least and ideally the final 8. |

Poor old Gareth will get slaugterd by the press if England don't make the semi's at least.....................

If Gareth fed the whole team on viagra they still wouldnt get to a semi .

If any of their players were fighting relegation though it would keep them Up wouldn't it? |

England have drifted from 7 to 7.8 in the last couple of days, quite a drift.
The great British (English) public finally coming to their senses? |

Lose to the first decent team they play in the knockouts

By:
We led an Average Croatia team 1-0 in the semi finals of the world cup and got beat , with probably a better Team than we have now .

I agree 100% with the guy who started this thread, Players from France, Germany and Portugal like Ronaldo, will be licking their lips at the thought of running at Maguire and Mings. Them pair 'll get fount out again.

England can only beat bums, Look at what happened in the 2nd half against Croatia. If it were a boxing match the ref would've stopped it.
