England are pre tournament favourites and have probably the best squad of players they have had for a major tournament since the golden generation under Sven Goran Erikssen. However we have seen them overhyped before and fail to deliver. There are weaknesses at centre back and Pickford is a potential liability if he starts in goals but it is a wide open tournament and any one of about 8 teams could win it.

In fairness, at International Level, despite the clangers he drops at Club Level....he doesn't really let England down.

I think Henderson or Pope are probably better keepers. Southgate doesn't really strike me as a manager willing to plunge the knife in ruthlessly though.

Giggs not being given a place in the hall of fame due to an allegation.  Ronaldo better watch out, be a lot of awards to be taken off him if the same treatment is applied to him.

He's been charged with the assault of two women.

Goalkeepers Dean Henderson, Sam Johnstone, Jordan Pickford, Aaron Ramsdale

Defenders Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ben Chilwell, Conor Coady, Ben Godfrey, Reece James, Harry Maguire, Tyrone Mings, Luke Shaw, John Stones, Kieran Trippier, Kyle Walker, Ben White

Midfielders Jude Bellingham, Jordan Henderson, Jesse Lingard, Mason Mount, Kalvin Phillips, Declan Rice, James Ward-Prowse

Forwards Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Phil Foden, Jack Grealish, Mason Greenwood, Harry Kane, Marcus Rashford, Bukayo Saka, Jadon Sancho, Raheem Sterling, Ollie Watkins

Funny how all England's quality is concentrated up front and how shite they are in MF, DF and GK. That's a shocking choice of keepers and Pope is little better. No harm but only Walker is in the same class of RB as TAA, his defensive frailties are overstated by the media. Bar the Real Madrid goal there's hardly another goal I could think he's to blame for. Who's the starting centre half's there? Mings and Stones? Jesus no wonder Gomez was starting for England. Mings is a walking liability.

No harm but are Henderson (who won't go due to injury), Rice and Prowse the only MF who can play centre mid? To my count there's 13 forwards named in that 33 man squad
Dean Henderson is a decent keeper but probably won't start. Slab is top class but may or may not be fit. That midfield is brutal

Its this type of talk that has our friends across the water thinking they'll win it.

He left Real for Barca at his peak, a few years later was a bit over enthusiastic when he scored in a Barca win over Real (Think Adebayor without the running the pitch to do it), the real problem was it was in front of the Madrid Ultras in a celebration he used at Real Madrid prior to the move. He repeated the same kind of thing a few times when he scored v Real.

Got himself involved in a few flashpoints over the years too in same games.

The Spanish in general don't really like Enrique but that is due to the scenario when he left the job, then come back and the sour taste of that all.

What's the word on VVD ? Not with the Holland squad so injury lasting longer than planned

I read that he saw what happened with the Wolves player Jonny and decided to skip the tournament rather than go when 70% fit.

Apparently Jonny came back after six months earlier this year, played for a month or two, and then did the knee again. Basically didn't give himself enough time to fully recover.

Supposedly the advice the club and Van Dijk got was that you need at least nine months of recovery time.

You have to feel for him on a personal level, quality defender who will be 32 next tournament, probably no point him playing for the Netherlands again.

32 is prime, especially for a quick player like Van Djik.

You can always tell when things are getting better. This thread slows way down.

Great to see.

Enrique has to win the Euros to keep his job after this call I suppose.

Ramos would have been a man that would do what had to be done in the last ten mins no questions asked too. They'll miss him no doubt.

First time ever that no Real Madrid player is in the Spanish squad for a major tournament.
surely Ramos could still do a job for them. Strange one.

He was puffing and blowing in that game against chelsea. The lads done.

Ruthless from Spain to bring in an uncapped Frenchman in a living legends place and they didn't even name 26. Looks a personal one.

Yep. 8-2-0 finish to the season, winning last five in a row. 8)

Alisson's goal now officially attains legendary status.

Much to do this summer though.

Never was a truer word spoken.

Dropping two points in that game would have been a disaster for Liverpool and IMO they grew in confidence from then on.

Klopp rode his luck but he needs more cover across the park as he's run these lads into the ground.

There was a key VAR call prior that made it even more important.

Fergal Logan and Dooher making the calls on Kilpatrick.

For me he's better than any of the options we've seen in midfield so far and actually is a midfielder for one.

You have to look at Moyes for manager of the season also.

He done some job this season. If Antonio didn't just suffer those injuries could they have even nicked Champions League?

Bielsa and obviously Pep would be the 3 front runners?

Leicester shit themselves, Chelsea lucky, Liverpool doing well for all the injuries they had all season, I'm surprised they made top 6 never mind 3rd

Utd going all season without losing away from home is a first for them

City are you unbelievable, if they buy Kane then he'll score 30 goals plus

West Ham for me have done the best considering where they where last season

All set up for a nil nil draw in the CL with Chelsea winning on penalties

Leicester did get 2 pens yesterday, they only have themselves to blame as the team going into the weekend that had to win. Chelsea just had to equal one of them or Liverpools results and didn't actually have to win.

Actually feel a bit sorry for Rodgers this morning but if Leicester owners back him with the money for more of a squad, there's no reason they can't finish the job next time.

Big issue for me is how poor mckenna seems to be playing. He seems frustrated and not enjoying his position. Played only a few games last year but made a huge impact while he seems to he struggling so far. Early days yet so hopefully he can turn it around.

Shooting needs worked on, a number if men had a few poor wides. Burns and hampsey come to mind.

McKenna is a huge worry. Seems very frustrated at how little involvement he's had. For me he's not an inside player. I know we are short McShane and need a ball winner inside but it's not McKenna. He should be playing out the field, preferably at 11.

McCurry won a lot of ball in the second half when the supply was right to him. We could do with McNulty or McAliskey in there if they are available.

McClure was another one who had a very poor wide earlier. I'd be very worried if Burns is picked again to start next week. He was poor again yesterday.

Is Kilpatrick still in the squad? Surely worth a run at midfield.

Still in squad. Possibly being held back as the most inexperienced member of the panel probably at moment.
