European Championship 2016

[Master]

The 2000 France squad was pretty loaded.



It should be a pretty intense competition this summer, every time I think "Well Belgium shoul dbe the team to beat" I remember that Germany is still extremely good, Spain is still good although the window is closing on their Golden Era as guys like: Ramos, Busquets, Iniesta, and Cesc age out. France has major talent, Portugal still have Ronaldo doing great things, England has talent but they have Woy running the show so I doubt things go well for them although I certainly hope they do well and the Republic of Ireland do well.

Yeah and forget the Welsh and Bale.

And don't forget the "Welsh Pirlo" Joe Allen haha

My people are from England, Ireland, Scotland, and France and not Wales.....so that explains my hoping for certain teams to do well.

So, Marcus Rashford scores within three minutes on his debut. Surely he's got himself a spot on the ferry?

Also, Ryan Bertrand. I don't understand how he keeps finding himself in England squads.

Rashford looks like a very strong player, he's in great form at the moment.


Bertrand is a difficult one to assess, he's certainly not at Leighton Baines' level IMO but he's a solid player, never going to be mistaken as the best on the pitch, but who else could you put there? Ashley Cole is a bit old, Danny Rose has his moments, Clyne can play on the left but is better on the right, Gibbs is alright but typical Gooner he's always injured, Chillwell will eventually be the man there.

If I was to manage England and everyone was healthy I'd run out this team:

ST: Sturridge
LW: Sterling RW: Vardy
CAM: Barkley
LM: Alli RM: Henderson
LB: Rose CB: Cahill, Stones RB: Clyne
GK: Hart

Subs: Forster, Walker, Smalling, Delph, Lallana, Wilshire, Rooney


But that's a very Football Manager kind of lineup....too attacking I guess. I would even think playing Rooney as the CAM and moving Barkley back to where Hendo is and Hendo to the bench would work well too, in theory

I think Sturridge will not go.
