Chelsea didnt tbf...

But yea....England lack the quality, with Rooney being the only world class player in the squad.  Build up wnt have done them ne favours either.  Usually at this stage in the run up to a tournament, everyone has started England bashing as the fans/media, have already declared them world-beaters, but I have to say, it"s been different this year.  Seems fans are approaching it with the attitude of, "We are not the best team in the tournament, but have the ability to upset the best teams on our day."  I hope AMRN is noting this approach...

:P  ;D

Des:
Friendly Sweepstake.

First sixteen requests for a team will receive one by random draw before the tournament kicks off tomorrow evening.

Shout if you want a team.

A bad salad at a German hotel is the suspect cause of the bout of food poisoning that left 10 Ukraine players ill before their final European Championship warm-up game against Turkey on Tuesday. Ukraine team doctor Leonid Mironov says the players were hit by "the bad effects of eating a salad."


I think we can all learn a valuable lesson here about how bad salad can be for you ;)

Here"s some extracts from the Stewart Downing Press Conference.   ;D

Downing on England"s training base: "It is very good set-up, the pitch is nice though it was a bit dry this morning. Once the first sessions are out of the way, you crack on from there, and we have a couple of days to work on until the France game. I am delighted to be in the squad, I aim to do well and make an impression on the team."

Downing on France: "We"re confident we can get a result. We don"t fear them. We know they are a good team but so are we. We know their strength and weaknesses."

Downing: "The World Cup in 2006 was very exciting, so I understand what the young lads will be going through. If they need to speak to me or any of the other experienced lads I"m here to lend a hand. Whoever the manager picks we just get on it with, if I am picked I will just concentrate on my role in the team and get on with it."

Downing on Liverpool team-mate Martin Kelly, who has replaced Gary Cahill in the England squad: "He"s a quiet lad, goes about his business, he"s going to be a terrific player and is a real talent. The manager has seen his ability and he"s settling in quite well."

Downing to BBC Sport"s Dan Roan on six Liverpool players in the England squad: "If you look at our performances we battered teams at times but we did not have the killer instinct."

Downing on being one of the senior players in Roy Hodgson"s squad at the tournament: "I understand what the young lads are going through - it"s a great experience for them. If they need help or tips, I can give them that."


:D :D :D :D
