Euro 2012

[Colly]

Robbie Fowlers now targetting the Olympics. Yay!

After Giggs was made available for the Olympics I reckon the three over 23s should be a decent old geezer from England (Beckham), a decent old geezer from Wales (Giggs) and a decent old geezer from Scotland..........

Errrrm

Ally McCoist?

Anyway I always have the Netherlands on standby as my second team - it's my default status.

[Dingle]

If Torres, Mata and Silva get into the Spain starting line-up, I'll probably be backing them for most of the tournament.

[Matt]

I backed Spain at Euro 08 and World Cup 2010, I want someone different this time. I toyed with Germany but I can't bring myself to do that, so Netherlands it is.

[Summers]

Sweden for me.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Sweden for me.

Sweden complete my triumverate.

I am surprised that EWB collectively hasn't burnt Hodgson at the stake for not picking Sturridge.

[Matt]

He's been pretty poor the last half of the season, to be fair.

[Colly]

Plus he's been played right of a three, and we already have half a dozen players in there to do that.

[Stevie B]

[Summers]

Puyol's not in the squad. :/

[Dingle]

I'd still pick him over Downing .

Yeah, Sturridge has been poor recently and is far, far too greedy when he really shouldn't be.

[Cuthman]

Emile Heskey, who is notoriously known for being frankly terrible when it comes to scoring goals, has scored more than Stewart Downing this season despite having 43 less shots. One may argue that Heskey is a forward so would score more goals anyway, but the rate is still really shocking on Downing's end.

A Wikipedia vandal summed it up well on Downing's page. "Downing has managed no league goals and no assists over the entire league season, even after taking one penalty and 72 shots and yet this form is good enough for the England national team."

[Summers]

Heskey played in midfield this season, much like Downing.

[Dingle]

Heskey played in midfield this season, much like Downing.

Who are you to doubt Al McLeish?

[Cuthman]

Heskey played in midfield this season, much like Downing.

That's even worse then! When Heskey, playing in midfield, has scored more goals than you and probably assists too, you should have a good long look at yourself retire.

[Summers]

Who doubted? He scored more than Downing from midfield.. Eck > Daglish.

[Adam]

In response to Matt's 'more than' post a page or so back - Glen Johnson is good. I'd be picking him before both you ( ) and Jones. Agreed that Choosing Jones over Richards is stupid though. I guess that's for versatility? Then again, Richards can play centre half too.

Gerrard as captain is a terrible decision, now he pretty much is guaranteed to start every game.

That France game is going to be fun :/

[Dingle]

Like someone said somewhere, should've given the captains armband to Hart since he's one of the few auto-starters for my liking.

Put my bets on for the Euros.

Went for France as an outside shot to win the Euros at 11/1 and Van Persie at 9/1 for top goalscorer.
