Euro 2012

Mancie · 06-06-2012, 00:17

With the ELP and Champions League all done and dusted the creeping feeling of exictement is now increasing the closer it gets to Euro 2012...this time the build up is not the usual stuff about England actually winning it but there's plenty of good football ahead.

What are Englands chances?... who will win it?

I dunno .... with the Italians under yet another match fixing scandal cloud, and Hodgson calling up Martin Who? instead of Ferdinand, it's going to be interesting to say the least ... England's chances? Zero. They don't have a squad, they have a simmering controversy and a joke for a manager. To win? Germany ... as disciplined as the Waffen SS, and with lots of talent too. I bet on the Kings for the Stanley Cup, so I might just be on a roll.

Nowt creeping up on me, We have as much chance of winning it as Stanley have of winning the F.A. Cup, Fancy Spain meself.

Not moving me either, I'll probably watch some of the matches, but at least there's none of this talking England up this time, none of this we can win it, we might actually do better than everybody thinks, I'm with cashy though I fancy Spain, very good outfit

Seeing they have just left Luton on a British Airways, normally configured aeroplane, all economy, I don't rate their chances.

Maybe I am a little bit annoyed they did not use us, unlike the under 21's and several of the premiership do.

But on a serious note, Roy Hodgson....... They would have a better chance with Brendan Rodgers.

It was more about you mentioning Wroy and Brendan that made me smile

I thought that may be it, however seeing the report made me want to kick the cat, and its been dead two years....

Anyway all the best to the Lads and i wonder how long it will be before we are welcoming them home.

Holland for me thank you very much. England second in group, losing to Croatia in the quarters.

now that's out there for you.

i think germany will win it

england myabe dark horses for semis.

Could be an underdog ... seem to remember it wasn't too many years ago that Greece took it. But I'll still take the Krauts ... seems like discipline and dogged defence is the way to beat the teams with flair. Oh, and a little bit of luck.
