He better not play or I swear we have absolutely no chance against any kind of decent midfield. How he's wormed his way in to the squad I do not know. Also, Rooney is banned from the first two games So, it could be all over before he becomes involved anyway.

How come we only play 4-4-2 though....not like we actually have much strength down the wings. I want England to win, but I'd feel bad for Ferdinand if they did. Apparently he's never even played in the Euros before. This is another badly structured post. Well, whatever.

I see Italy and France having to be more worried about their outcomes. Most of their teams are full of old players. Old players like Mario Balotelli and Olivier Giroud? >_> Who have a combined age of about 45? :P

Probably a good move, Gerrard works better when making runs from midfield rather than already being up front. Still, he needs to stop trying cross field Hollywood passes. You're not Paul Scholes you fail half the time so stop it. Parker is looking a bit ropey, I think he's playing with injections atm. The funny thing is that if Carrick had gone he'd probably a starter now with the injuries to Lampard and Barry. Also, Lescott or Jagielka should be in the side ahead of Terry imo. Ireland are still looking good so everyone knows. Who knows, we might actually scrape out of the group if we keep defending well.

He was never that type of player so I don't know why he's trying to change that now. He's best when he's making late runs and driving the team forward, keeping his play simple. If he sticks to that then we could have something good going.

Ashley Young is a player I really don't rate particularly highly yet seems to deliver quite well for England so I think he will have a lot of responsibility. Chamberlain is apparently set to start tonight which is fantastic, hopefully if he plays well he'll increase his chances of playing a significant part in the tournament.

Also, Danny Welbeck is looking good for the Euros. The little chip from the Belgium game is promising. Defoe did well too.

Welbeck played well, my only problem with him is that he's not a natural finisher (harsh considering 1 goal from 1 shot against Belgium was impressive) whereas Defoe is a better finisher but lacks the physicality of Welbeck (or Caroll) to hold up the ball in any meaningful way. England will be punished if they lose the ball like they did against Belgium in the Euros, Belgium are a very good technical side but lack the offensive potent threat that many other teams will have, Dembele and Hazard are both quality talents but neither of them is a prolific forward, Dembele even plays as a midfielder now for Fulham. My last observation is I have no idea why Glen Johnson plays for England, he's got the worst positioning of a full back, constantly caught out and has trouble tackling, for all his praise going forward his marauding runs end up with him running down blind cul de sacs rather than any meaningful contributions to attacks. Stats from last season, up until end of February. Micah Richards Tackles won per game = 2.2, Interceptions WPG = 1.3, Aerial dules WPG = 2.1 Kyle Walker 2.5 / 2/ 0.8 Glen Johnson 1.9 / 1.6/ 1

Google Chrome and Firefox	I saw highlights of the England vs. Belgium game. I didn't think they played that bad. They should do decent in the Euros because despite them not having the star power you may think they don't have, they still have more talent then other nations in the Euro. What the hell happened to Portugal against Turkey? Turkey beat them for the first time and Ronaldo missed a penalty. Ronaldo tends to miss penalties when it really counts.

Google Chrome	I really want Dembele to sign for Manchester United ;~; He's so strong and can pass a ball properly even when he's being swamped by people and an added bonus was that he's good at forcing people off a ball and fouling Steven Gerrard. He's perfect for what I think United are missing, but I digress. Apparently Tim Cahill is out, and is being replaced by a Liverpool defender who I've never heard of.
