FIFA rankings have us as 4th In the world behind Belgium, France and Brazil
That equates to 3rd at the euros.
But Portugal and Spain very close behind. Then Italy 6th almost equal with Croatia, Denmark, Germany and Netherlands
Some good countries there. We will defo have to perform to get past the quarter finals

I'll keep and eye on this thread but sadly I don't think it will get into the league of 'Great Britain medals in 2012 Olympics' 'Billing' and 'Covid' threads ;-)

We've had the dreaded e-mail from UEFA confirming our England/Scotland tickets are all cancelled. Waiting on the final group game now...

Looks like I’ve still got my tickets for the last group game. I’m amazed.

I've just had a quick read of the email (my husband checked the ticket portal earlier to check what we had) and it looks like we'll have to download an app so that the tickets can be downloaded to that (they're not sending out paper tickets because of the timescales). Apparently, you can download the app now but your tickets won't appear in it just yet. They'll send us instructions on how to download the app in another email. I think we're also going to be given a 30 minute slot to arrive at the stadium. Not sure about anything else just yet.

Looking forward to it

Not too long now. Who should make Southgate’s final squad? Who will win? Who are the dark horses? Who has got tickets? Where are you watching? Can you still fit in your Italia ‘90 shirt? Scotland. They will beat Germany 5-0 and will declare independence after the final whistle.

The squad won't be named tomorrow, a provisional pool will with Southgate claiming he needs to assess injuries first.
Name the squad and replace anyone who isn't fit in time. Not hard.

Southgate leaves out Madison but picks someone from Brighton, the inbred chestwanker and the keeper from the worst team in the league this year 🤔

Weve got the toughest game first in the group, Southgate wont want to start with a loss, so is likely to field a very defensive line up and the squad will reflect that. Sadly he will likely continue with defending as his priority against Scotland and the Czechs. Three draws beckon...

I reckon DATM can use this opportunity to be increasingly negative about another football team.
By the time that the domestic season restarts, this place will be buzzing with excitement after the turgid nature of the Euros...
I think it's a continuing indictment of the PL, the mass influx of foreign players, that proves that we remain quite limited at international level as a consequence.

The big question is how many defensive midfielders can Southgate realistically fit into the team without looking stupid. Don't think he'll be worried about looking stupid, that ship has sailed. As per his employers one and only criteria for getting the job of England manager, he'll play it safe and we'll bore our way to a semi final exit.

He obviously doesn't care about looking stupid, when you consider that little waistcoat he insists on wearing on the touchline 😁

A few surprises but they're likely to be the ones that don't make the cut. From the right back conundrum I'd drop James from the final squad- people are harsh on Trippier considering he's just won La Liga. Not sure how Tomori has missed out even from this expanded squad, he's been starting for an AC Milan side that hasn't conceded a goal in the last 8 games I think it is. Bamford as well.

Goalkeepers Henderson Pickford Johnstone Ramsdale Defenders Trent Maguire Trippier Mings Walker Coady Chilwell James Godfrey Shaw Stones White
Midfielders Henderson Mount Bellingham Lingard Rice Phillips Ward Prowse
Forwards Kane Rashford Sancho Sterling Watkins Foden Saka Grealish Calvert Lewin
My predictions to drop out in red

Think that's more or less right to be honest. I'd probably have gone for Godfrey over Coady but nevertheless I'm really happy to see a couple of ex Town players make the cut.
There'll definitely be question marks over the right backs but we have by far the best selection of them in the world and they all have a particular skillset. Any of them would stroll into any other England side of the last 20 years at least.

FOUR right backs. Conor Coady. Kalvin Philips. No Lingard.
That's terrible.
Glad they've taken my tickets off me now.
