Football's coming home, it's coming home, it's coming home, it's coming. Football's coming home!
 
so anyway... forgive my not really caring but if there are 6 groups then a round of 16 is it not very hard not to qualify out of the groups.

the top 2 in each group get out then that means 4 others will so the first games are all about getting rid of 6 really bad teams.. thats about it right?

Andy King believes he can replicate his Leicester City fairytale and win Euro 2016 with Wales.
King, 27, played in 25 games on the way to helping the Foxes win the Premier League and is confident of a Gareth Bale-inspired Wales' chances in France.
"We've got the best player in the tournament so why can't we win it," he told BBC Wales Sport.
"They said we [Leicester] couldn't win the league at the start of the season so that's given us a bit of belief."
The midfielder is currently with Wales in a pre-tournament training camp in Portugal.
He has made 32 appearances for Wales since making his debut in 2009, and believes that Bale gives their side the edge over every other team in the tournament.
"If you want to name me another that might be better than him then go for it," he said.
"The way he can win a game on his own is something that not many players have the capability of doing."
Bale will play for Real Madrid in the Champions League final against Atletico Madrid on Saturday and will receive support from his compatriots.
"Gareth's played a lot of football in his career, it's just going to be another game for him. Obviously it's a massive game and one which we want his team to win," King added.
"We want him to arrive fit and ready to go but we're not nervous. We just hope he can get the win and that will bring him here buzzing."

I believed him right up until he stopped talking about the having the best player in the tournament playing and started on about some bloke called gareth.

Once he did that I felt his faith in the allen was lacking.

I did fancy us to win until Roy got lucky with Vardy and Kane playing themselves into the team, I still hope he reverts to type and benches Alli, Drinkwater, Dier, Barkley etc and plays the old fellas.

Rooney will be star striker so you've got nothing to worry about unless he gets injured.

I think there could be a scenario where rooney is CM. the only sensible approach for england is kane and vardy IMO. rooney behind that and the rest really allowing whatever full backs get forward and deep cover in the middle for CBs.

If england do with anyhting else i think we will get tonked.
 
Sky bet have an offer where you put £10 on a team and every game they win they will give you £3 as a free bet. Which team do we think will win the most? France look decent but they have Swiss so could be a draw and Germany have Poland in there.
