Varane's going to miss the competition through injury.

 

[Smudge]

Brilliant what a game

 

[Smudge]

I've wanted to go to the Velodrome since I was 15. I'm watching the host nation there in an international tournament. I'm a football fan who will be in the south of France for a tournament summer. Exciting enough thanks.

 

[Stevencc]

If you get close enough to communicate with Griezmann can you tell him Stevencc said he should sign for United?

Cheers Smudge.

 

[Smudge]

Im up in the top tier, Ill take a bedsheet with it written on!

Why? The Velodrome has nothing on the Parc des Princes. NOTHING!

He's already at a top tier club competing for the major trophies, why would he want to drop down a level?

Because he is a United fan

 

[SALTIRE]

Because he is a United fan

Even if he is he's not going to pack his bags and drop all he's doing to rush over to play in the EL with Maureen and Co is he.

I don't think we'll sign him but don't underestimate our ability to spunk gigantic sums of money.

Oh if there's one thing Utd do even better than us at is spunk up loads of money on shite!

Maybe under Jose we will see a change of tack from spunking massive sums of money on shite to spunking massive sums of money on good footballers.

Exciting times!

Liverpool are going to be the same but spending small amounts on potential and maybe the odd star now and again. I'll take that.

 

[Deepcut Cobbler]

Löw to field a 3-6-1 i guess, so Schmelzer isnt needed

Boateng-Hummels-Höwedes
Khedira-Schweinsteiger(Weigl)
--------Kroos
Sane-Özil-Reus
-------Gomez

Reus been de-selected, he has a groin injury.
Will be a big miss for the Germans.

Yes and no. No because he never take part on tournaments.

 

[Deepcut Cobbler]

He hasn't yet, shame because I was looking forward to seeing how he would do...

 

[Blitzballer]

Drinkwater - Wins the league. Plays nearly every game.
Sturridge - 8 months in hospital.
Wilshere - 1 start all season.

 

[AFCB_Mark]

We can't be picking players who are in form and fully fit. That'd be a crazy idea.
Especially can't pick someone who is renowned for tackling, I mean our defence is so strong anyway.

 

[Smudge]

Townsend left out too. So a side who play 4-3-3 have selected no natural wingers (Sterling and Lallana are not wingers...) so will therefore be picking 2 players out of position before they even start.

The fact Hodgson continues to select Barkley as well tells you all you need to know. Lazy and inconsistent and hasnt performed for us since November, yet waltzes into the squad.

 

[Stevencc]

I think the 442 diamond will be our default formation but we are definitely lacking in wide options for a strong plan b.

 

[Smudge]

That's what I dont really get about leaving out the likes of Walcott and Townsend. There isnt a whole lot of variety in that squad, lots of like for like.

Be careful. Couldn't pay me to go to France whilst the tournament is on. I think it's pretty much guaranteed something is going to happen. Marseille is rough as fuck, don't go out with any form of valuable.

Sturridge was scoring though when he was playing; Wilshere though....

 

[Master D]

Isco and Saul Niguez can't get in the Spain squad, while people here blow a fuse over Danny Drinkwater's omission.

 

[mistermagic]

I see that Low has decided to omit Rudy in the final 23. He's the only one who can do a good job at RB and he's not picked yet Shkodran who the fuck is this Mustafi gets in. The mind boggles. Just like England, Germany have very few natural wingers. Brandt and Hermann should be on the plane such is their ability to beat their man and put in a good cross.

 

[AFCB_Mark]

So a year ago Harry Arter first breaks into the Ireland side and gets an injury in an Ireland friendly that basically fucked his entire 15/16 season.

He recovers in time to make the Euros squad for Ireland, and then gets injured again, days after picking up a man of the match award for them in a friendly. And is now seemingly out of Euro contention.

Not meant to be is it.
Hope it at least doesn't screw Bournemouth completely this time.

 

[epic73]

Shkodran who the fuck is this Mustafi

He's the BBVA guy in the FUTDraft that links to Neuer. Duh.

 

[Smudge]

David Moyes released him at Everton a few years back. He now has a World Cup winners medal. Megalolz.

 

[Leewilson]

Isco and Saul Niguez can't get in the Spain squad, while people here blow a fuse over Danny Drinkwater's omission.

But then we have a front line of Rooney, Kane, Sturridge, Vardy and Rashford compared to theirs of Nolito, Aduriz and Morata. It's horses for courses. In reality, squads of 23 always show up the likes of Spain and Germany depth but in reality it comes down to 14-15 players who will actually play when we're there. And to be fair our 14-15 can give theirs a decent game and on it's day, it's capable of beating them.
