Mattredrobin Posted June 10 Report Share Posted June 10 3 minutes ago, Bas's perfect hattrick said: I got a feeling Germany will win it. They've been terrible at recent tournaments, but the feeling has picked up again after their last international break. I can't help thinking that an extra option at centre back would have been more worthwhile than including both Toney and Watkins - both of whom are unlikely to play more than a few minutes. Either Branthwaite or if Southgate really doesn't think he's ready, Dier - who's had a reasonable season at Bayern. Yeah and being the hosts too will give them extra little bit push, I think him taking Toney and Watkins is the right call if we need a goal we can chuck one of them on with the hoe we can nick one, like you say though defence looks a little bare especially if we lose one of them.

42nite Posted June 11 Report Share Posted June 11 (edited) Think I caught a snippet on the news yesterday when the German hotel complex (where England are staying) man was being interviewed. He said along the lines of... England have requested that the grass on the hotel training pitch to be like Wembley. He informed them that they would be playing games on German grass! As the famous Fawlty Towers episode goes.... How did we ever win the war! Edited June 11 by 42nite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

England have a chance - Trent alongside Rice could be what England are missing Don't get the love in for Tomori He's been poor when selected and poor when I've seen him on TV, reports from Italy suggest he has had a so so season I can only assume you have watched him more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ska Junkie Posted June 11 Report Share Posted June 11 (edited) All our boys on the bench for Ireland, Smodics is starting though as is O'Brien, assuming that's the fella we were after last year. Pepe at 41 and Ronaldo at 39 are starting! Edited June 11 by Ska Junkie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenkibby. Posted June 11 Report Share Posted June 11 Us at 3/1 is a mental price. My punt is England to win with kane top scorer, as i cant see us winning without Harry being the top scorer. Portugal has to be the best outright winner punt at 7/1. If they win the group they dont play another group winner until the semis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petehinton Posted June 14 Report Share Posted June 14 Incredibly excited. Will be staying off social media as much as I can around England game days too, alleviates seeing all those who think Southgate should win every game, our squad is the best ever, but also Pickford isn’t good enough, Maguire isn’t good enough (but we really miss him), the defence is really week, if shaw can’t play we’re ****** bla bla bla 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listening to a podcast with Raph Honigstein earlier in the week, he said the mood music in Germany is extremely low, no confidence in the squad & just generally aren’t hopeful at all, and if anything are nervous about being embarrassed in their own country. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
