    Insane, what was he doing?

    I do like this side, playing at maybe 60% but this is the side I'd go with.

    I'm a bit worried about how many times Milner is giving the ball away though..

    Ye, I am glad he's gone Walker and Alli, they are key.

    I really do like Kane, some player the lad even in a not much game like this you can see his hunger.

    Best since Poppins.

    Fairly dull game, red card tackle was crazy, don't know what he was thinking. Think englands front 3 aren't working that well together as a unit, we're looking better when rooney drops deeper. Milner looks the weak link to me but don't think any of the alternatives would be much better.

    Wilshere, were he ever fully fit, would finish off the midfield.

    He's a lovely footballer just always ****ed/

    Agree, on his day looks a lovely player but like you say he's never fit and when he is fit he goes missing in games too often for my liking.

    Booting Renato Sanchez twice? <laugh>

    Tidy turn from him too mind.

    Can't believe Woy is still experimenting.

    On another day Ronaldo plays and we get spanked in that game. We were absolutely crap.

    Aye but on no level was anyone pushing themselves, same as the last 2.

    I think we are in good shape personally, we will have a good tournament.

    Looking at that Spain squad, ****ing hell they will take some beating. Still sticking with France like.

    I don't think either look amazing tbh. Strong for sure, but not unstoppable like the Spain teams of old (being 5 years or so ago...)

    I'm not worried, we can beat any team in a one off match.

    France for me as well, if Deschamps was a top manager they'd probably walk it.

    I agree nobody looks unbeatable, just the Spain squad looks most solidly formed, the French has the most match winners.

    Croatia, Poland and Belgium all look like teams who could surprise as well, it should be an entertaining tournament.
