Euro 2016

[Lineker]

Varane is the latest big name to miss the tournament through injury.

[Nerf]

Ouch. Losing their two best CBs is gonna hurt for sure.

They need to call up Lilian Thuram, he would sort this out

[The Lusophone]

They've got plenty of cover at CB to be fair.

[TCO]

Losing Varane, Laporte, Sakho and Zouma yet still being pretty stacked at CB is just outrageous. Umtiti still can't make the squad either.

[Lineker]

Eric Cantona has controversially suggested the ethnicity of Karim Benzema and Hatem Ben Arfa may have been a factor in the France manager Didier Deschamps leaving the pair out of his squad for next month’s European Championship.

[brenchill]

Joe Ledley has gone full John Cena and recovered from a broken leg in 24 days to make the Euros squad.

[Baddar]

Manchester City and Belgium captain Vincent Kompany will join the BBC punditry team for Euro 2016.

Kompany, who has 70 caps, has been ruled out of the tournament with a thigh injury but will provide expert analysis from the Paris studio.

The 30-year-old joins a BBC studio line-up led by Gary Lineker that also includes Alan Shearer, Rio Ferdinand, Thierry Henry and Gianluca Vialli.

[The Lusophone]

Reus has not been included in the Germany squad.

[METALMAN]

Vialli? That's pretty good.

[DavidMarrio]

I like international tournaments when you get the likes of Vialli being apart of the team of pundits...and then you still have to put up with the likes of Alan Shearer stating the obvious. 

[TCO]

Ireland squad is out.

Quote

 

Goalkeepers: Darren Randolph, Shay Given, Keiren Westwood.

Defenders: Seamus Coleman, Cyrus Christie, John O’Shea, Ciaran Clark, Shane Duffy, Richard Keogh, Robbie Brady, Stephen Ward.

Midfielders: Glenn Whelan, James McCarthy, Jeff Hendrick, Wes Hoolahan, James McClean, Aiden McGeady, Stephen Quinn, David Meyler.

Forwards: Shane Long, Jon Walters, Daryl Murphy, Robbie Keane

 

Not too bad I suppose. Given Arter's injury I probably wouldn't have changed much. Guy can't catch a break.

We're going to be shit, but I'm excited!

Got some fitness issues apparently so they didn't want to gamble. Imagine that Woy.

Daryl Murphy to be top scorer!

20 Caps 0 Goals. Well at least you'll get good odds!

I always had a soft spot for Daryl Murphy. Going to Cork City games growing up he was an absolute monster for Waterford and had everything. He was obviously playing at a much higher level in England, but its a shame to see him lose his pace and take so long to find his niche with Ipswich.

Who was after all the squads? Because here they are.
