Surely it's better to play players who are in form? Rooney isn't one of those.
Like shearer in 96 you mean ? 12 game goal drought going into the tournament then golden boot winner. |

Playing the best players in their natural position is the name of the game... if that means Vardy starts on the bench, then so be it - Kane is the better player

I think this our best chance for a while: not because we're great, but because none of the teams look as strong as they have been in the past: Spain and Germany both look well short of their best, France look good but have problems at centre back if Rami plays, and Italy are well below their usual level. |

Remi? They will have even worse problems at the back if Mangala plays! The problem we have is consistency and our inability to string good performances together, to win it we have to win 6(?) games and I just cannot see us playing well (or even OK) for that many games on the bounce? |

Adil Rami sorry. He's not very good. Especially considering he's replacing Rafael Varane!

I think the Remi reference was my fault, thinking of the Stone Roses? |

Think we'll smash Russia 3-0. Can see us getting to the quarters or semi's and then the usual happening; a referee screw job or an exit on pens. I don't see any team to fear in this tournament.

For me its France to win with Griezmann top scorer which is where my money is going.
England will get out of the group and then I fancy us to get past the first knock-out phase. Anything beyond that is a bonus really.
Being out of work at the moment I am definitely going to be making the most of the next couple of months!

One thing about the Euros, is that it has thrown up a few unlikely winners in Czechs, Denmark and Greece in living memory.
No team on paper looks way above the other ususal contenders, France have to be favourites as home side, but you never know with them.
As for us, getting out of the group will no tbe easy, but I believe we have some Platini, Blatter style expansion meaning the group games are likely to be negative.
