Well this seems to have sneaked up on me, games start at the end of this week.
As usual I will be hoping for England to do well, but won't be putting any money on them. A few odd decisions in the squad with Henderson being chosen over in form Lingard and Ward Prowse, and off form players like the injured Maguire, Mings and Sterling in ahead of Bamford, Watkins and Godfrey. Hopefully they prove me wrong.

ReplyDeleteWelcome Gibbo and Paul.
ReplyDeleteGood opening game, Italy played superb Turkey given the run around.
Point each for us.
Only one of the Lawro experts got a 3 pointer, will update when we've played a few games (hoping to beat Sutton and Jenas who claim to be experts but rarely are).
Weird day at the Euro's, Christian Eriksen's sudden collapse just before half time in the Denmark Finland game putting a dampner on everything, hopefully he will recover.
ReplyDeleteWales get a draw with Switzerland, Finalnd win the resumed game with Denmark and Belgium run rings round Russia.
