Got Portugal in my work sweepstake. Quite pleased, good outsiders I reckon. And two Saints there of course.
Just don't get the fuss about Danny Rose. Decent left back but not that much better than Bertrand I'd say? I'd actually pick Bertrand becuase he can take the set pieces.....which means Kane doesn't have to.
Oh well, that makes Bertie decidedly mediocre then. Ryan Bertrand is far and away better than Rose. He's much more of a modern LB.
Incidentally, in Portugal's 7-0 win over Estonia in their Euro 2016 warm-up game, the Portugese line up was this: Patricio; Soares, Pepe, Fonte, Gurrier; Periera, Gomes; Mario,Moutinho; Quaresma, Ronaldo
I watched the first 30mins or so, got bored and turned off! I though Estonia were doing a decent job up to then.
Former Liverpool and Republic of Ireland defender Mark Lawrenson might not be welcome in Wales for a while. He says Chris Coleman's side have no chance of winning their Euro 2016 group which includes England, Russia and Slovakia. _______________________________________ In a group consisting of Eng, Rus & Slo I'd say they have a pretty decent chance. Hardly worth sticking it up in the dressing room though Coleman, Mark is pretty poor at predictions!
Mark Lawrenson along with Garth Crooks should be banned from having any football related opinions. Both of them are class A ****ers!!
And to be fair, he isn't that bad at predictions either. Though I gives Wales slightly more than no chance.
Could a team "succeed" by having ten players running around working their socks off, just waiting for a moment of magic from a genius? Mmmmmmmm *thinks*
