I find it funny that Portugal is smack talking Germany.

I find it interesting that a few of you are wandering why crouch didn't get a call up. Here's your answer, he may have a good scoring record but most of his goals have come against minnows, he like many other players seem to not be able to hold it together against the bigger teams 
As for my vote on who's going to win the tournament, how about Greece or Denmark again
On a more serious note I would have to go with Germany, Spain was going to be my first choice but I have a feeling they are not going to be as great without David Villa. We shall see though
Come on England

They really aren't. They are just doing what they normally do, talking down the 'Portugal are going to get smashed' talk and install confidence into the squad. I have little faith my Portugal will advance out the group stage but the results of Germany, Holland and Denmark losing their friendlies were positive for sure. Portugal tied to Macedonia who parked the bus almost the entire game, and Paulo Bento (coach) was trying some new things out as well. I'll let you know how bad Portugal will go into the tourney pending Saturday's friendly to Turkey.
lol
Holland's defense doesn't scare me, but their mid and attack does. Germany can very well steam roll over Portugal, but at the same time Portugal can surprise everyone and wake up wanting to advance. Denmark, as I've told many of my friends, is no pushover. We struggled with them in the qualifiers as they seem to know how to play against us.

What is interesting about the squads you posted is that England are the only country with 23 players who play in its domestic leagues, while Ireland are the only one without any players from their domestic leagues.

Bad news for England now, but potentially an opportunity to blood younger players that need the experience. At 33 he can just about hang about for the first couple of qualifying games, but if Hodgson decides the 'Golden Generations' time is over, and things need changing, Lampard could be chopped. All depends if he still turns out for Chelsea every week, and if anyone can replace him.

There's gotta be a better replacement than Henderson. Roy still got his Liverpool glasses on, 5 players from them now in the England squad.
I'd only have 1 of them.

Carroll - Deserves a place, what other strikers do England have that are better ?
Downing - Awful season, the place should've gone to Joe Cole
Gerrard - Deserves a place
Glen Johnson - Definitely should've gone to Kyle Walker
Henderson - Drafted in at last minute, again England don't really have anyone better.

I don't see how Carroll deserves a place. He scored a few goals at the end of a poor season. Sturridge/Crouch, both had better seasons than Carroll.
Agreed on Downing and Stevie.
Kyle Walker is injured apparently. Micah Richards should be there instead of Johnson, I just don't understand it.
Adam Johnson? He's definitely worth a mention, no idea how he isn't in the squad.

England were pretty standard. Belgium wasted waaay too many chances but they looked much more comfortable attacking. Rooney wasted the ball a lot, Chamberlain was "ambitious".

Same. Gillet looked good for Belgium tonight, as did Fellaini. Hazard had a few flashes but was wasteful at times.

Portugal - Turkey 1-3
Yes Sir! What I love about the Turkish players is how persistent they are, real fighters these guys, major respect. 👍
Most other soccer teams (Germany included) give up like little sissies when they are behind, but for the Turkish it's major motivation, just like it's supposed to be!

Exactly, an injured Rio is better the Kelly. Football reasons my ass.
