Thread: UEFA Euro 2016

Not long now, who you supporting?

Here's one team i'm not supporting..


Sterling and Henderson possibly should have been left out.

Be interesting to see how Vardy and Kane partner up.

England will face Russia in their Euro 2016 opener in Marseille before Roy Hodgson's side meet Wales in Lens.
Elsewhere, the Republic of Ireland will meet Sweden, Italy and Belgium

bladdy cheek of it. really.

Expecting Martin O'Neil to do well for the Republic. 100/1 immm.

I doubt I'll watch a single match, lost interest in these overpaid wankers decades ago. Good luck to Wales, Northern Island, Scotland and the Republic of Ireland, I hope one of them wins it.

I think were gonna do really well. Thats not a bad squad on paper.

Come on England

Shame Carroll couldn't make the 23 for England,
But fancy them to be in the final,

^ I know, it was humour, but I do wish Wales, Northern Island & the Republic of Ireland well (several Ipswich players in that squad, so I don't expect much!).

Sorry about that, must've been on crack, and the funny thing was that I was thinking about writing the Republic of Iceland as a little funny but decided against it lest I offend folks...

Totally agree there, ok we have Rashford, Sturridge, Vardy and Kane but he gives you something else. he'd be great to bring on when we're losing with 10 mins left.

Although he's as injury prone as that lazy black Chelski reject with the legs made of weetabix

Blimey dill, I'm all for positivity but do you have to post like nothing's changed since 1996?

Who on earth would you have left out of those strikers to make room for that giraffe with a man bun?

I disagree that Sterling could have been left out. He showed a good understanding with Rashford in the game against ...err...whoever that lot were that we played before Australia.

Henderson hasn't had a remotely good game for England and Barkley hasn't had a good game for anyone for over a year. Both of them can consider themselves rather fortunate and personally I would have taken Drinkwater ahead of either of them, if only because he clicks with vardy.

Other than that the squad pretty much picks itself imo.

Oh, and Bertrand ahead of Rose in the final eleven every day of the week.

Thats a very tough one to call but we cant play all 4 of those strikers. I will stick my neck out and say Vardy.

For me now it would be Rashford. Too many twinkle toes in the box and with Carroll there is another option where headed goals could make a difference.

Didn't he break the all british record for a signing at one time. £35 or £40 million.
Bad luck with injuries but when fit he can bang them in.

Bun or no bun.

Fuck me, no wonder you lot got pasted by the szs crew in fantasy league.

Dill would take Carrol ahead of Vardy and betty has some tit pics.

i hope theres not too many darkies in englands 11

that fantasy football is an IQ test, you start with 140 points and have 3 points deducted every week you keep playing ...

To be fair, I am an Ipswich fan so football viewing has been rather depressing for the last 15 years or so...

& England are still shite...

& you wouldn't fancy the Republic of Iceland's chances with their strikeforce:

I'm ignorant, but have always been biased towards Spain and Portugal.

I'll watch Franch also.

I won't watch many matches. If a team emerges that I like in the players and style of play I'll follow them.

I cannot root for England, under any circumstances, after watching games with Brits over the years.

20+ teams. I like the smaller nations and the underdogs.
