Almost here finally.

I'm not for one minute thinking we will win it but anything less than the semi is a disaster and then anything can happen....

Certainly can't see anyone breaking us down down the left given the four men waiting there - but anyone with a right footed striker could cause us issues.......

[smashup]

Rashford and Sterling have been out of form for months now so fuck knows why he's picked both, plus Southgates included too many injured players, we've got decent uninjured players who have been on fire in the last few months who have been totally overlooked.
We'll do well to even get 2nd place in our group i think, def need a flying start against Croatia. (45-1 to win tournament at some bookies)
France are massive favourites for me, Belgium have gotta be in the mix too, and as usual Ze Germans will be there or there abouts.

Mbappe, Kane (if England can progress) and Lukaku are the 3 likely Golden boot winners but don't write of the other 2 French forwards Griezmann and Benzema.

Who will win

Finalist

Semi finalist

Golden Boot

Kane for the boot

Us, France, Spain Belgium (no idea if that can actually work out with the permutations). Can't actually believe I'm predicting us for a semi ffs

Germany, Portugal outside chance of getting there

Final - fuck knows so I'm going to say us v France.

I think we'll make hard work of qualifying and need a bit of luck if se do get to the semis but no one will want to play us either

[Mark TKO]

agreed re Rashford needs to get his focus back

England won a nervy match yesterday against Austria. Trent’s injury looks bad but we have 3 other right backs.

Jack Grealish is a quality player and should come as a super sub for the start of the early matches. Then start when we get through to the latter stages.

[erics44]

England will win it

italy will go out in the groups

[Primo Carnera]

England will win it

italy will go out in the groups

You deliberately trying to wind me up? It won’t work.

[Denilson3.0]

England will win it

italy will go out in the groups

You think think ? Let's say England get through their group. Have you seen what awaits them in the last 16 ?

• France (Current World Champions)
• Portugal (Current Euro Champions)
• Germany (Well they don't need any intro)

Good luck lol

And it's get's worse

England have not beaten a top flight nation in knockout football since 1966.

What makes you think England will win ? You did see England at the last Euro's right ?

As for the World Cup. They had a kind draw and even then they only scapped past Columbia on pens and beat an average side in Sweden. The only decent teams they faced were Belgium and Croatia and we know what happened there.

I mean England could have got to world cup final and their route meant that they did not have to play a Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Spain, Germany, Belgium, France, Portugal, Italy or Holland

And they still could not do it.

England are not winning the Euro's

I think you might be being a bit harsh on old England, as a bitter Scotsman I hope they don't win it but they're really starting to churn out a high standard of player, I think the foreign managers they've brought in(pep and so on) have really helped them modernise the tactics and smarten the players up(la liga has had less famous names but have won a lot of uefa cups and champions league for example) ... Foreign teams are scouting around picking up young British guys(bayern and dortmund the most obvious).... I think it's only a matter of time before England win something big...

Although I agree the English media really do overrate team and probably add to the pressure.

I too was also not amazed by Englands performance in the world cup, it was a pretty similar situation to Germany in 2002(except they actually made it to the final)... But still they beat the guys they needed to to make it to the semis and you can't knock it too much and it was three years ago. The media and fans still seem to be stuck in a bit of old fashioned football mindset (not as bad as the scots though) but once they work that out the gits could end up like Spain :S..... The spainards were also pretty big underachievers until 2008(bar a win in the 60s) at the national level...

Another good sign for England is that none of the big teams have looked great at all, Portugal were looking really good but haven't been that convincing v guys like Ukraine. Germany and the Dutch have been straight up bad recently. France might be coming into some form but you really can't trust the French not to do something stupid. Spain haven't been great either...




Anyway as for who will win I'm going with Belgium although de bruyne suffered a pretty bad injury and I've got no idea if he'll play, he'd be a massive loss for them.

I think Italy will surprise a few people, they won't win it because they're not that good but they've got a few talented and determined players(midget barella I think is good and insigne).. Italy to struggle in the groups then make the semis!

[palmerq]

Did a predictor game to see the permutations for the knockout rounds so as for masters questions.

Winners belgium

Semis
Belgium
Italy
Germany
England.

Top scorer Lyndon Dykes
Second top scorer lukaku.

[smashup]

Unless players like Mount and Fodel seriously step up and make a massive impact England will be lucky to get out of the group
Team looked fucking clueless against Austria the other night.

France will piss this

[Mark TKO]

Imagine if it did end up going out the group stages...christ

Let's not forget a poor Portugal team somehow won the tournament last time - they only won one match in 90 minutes the whole tournament against Wales and were very lucky to scrape through the group stages with 3 points.
