Come on, your views.
My personal view is that England will win.
I also think we stand a real chance of the title.
Feel free to pop this if we plummet out, but know that if you "diss" me and my "mamma" that I will pop it when we win.

Yep, I'll take it like a man.
I was wrong on one count, but we're not out yet.

France would be in quite a pickle if that actually happened.

At least they'd be English.
We should have Henry and Van Nistlerooy up front playing for England if your gonna have Sven as manager.
What's the point in having International teams and Club teams?

Bet the FA are wishing they actually had a backbone when the self important Blatter started imposing his massive frame when he finally realised Rio was still playing. Tough luck lads :-D
I agree. Wes Brown would also be a good alternative to the crocked Terry. I also have a gut feeling (which will be completely wrong) that Heskey may start against the French. If Erik-san wants to stiffle the French in midfield he may view Heskeys tenacity and willingness to "defend from the front" as an ideal solution, allowing Owen to have support when needed. As Desailly isn't going to play, whilst the pacy Gallas and Silvestre are, pace won't be such a threat to the French.
You see, with John Terry's exclusion from Sunday's game now having been confirmed, this is where Eriksson's terrible squad selection tactics really begin to show.
Fair enough, Rio Ferdinand is banned until September, and Jonthan Woodgate got himself injured, but...
To partner Sol "-id as a rock" Campbell, we have only:
Ledley King, or...
Jamie Caragher.
Now, that's hardly gonna give even Wiltord a restless Saturday night, given the off-chance he might have to play some part in the game, is it! :P
Where's Gareth Southgate? What about Ugo Ehiogu?
Where is the "strength and depth" of ours that makes almost any-other nation rightly one of the favourties for the competition??
What good is youth and inexperience when you're up against Henry and Zidane!
We can't simply play it ALL on the attack... :@

I don't know about that. Terry and Gallas have learnt to shut him up in games now which is great for us. However in Euro 2004, Gallas will be on his team, and Terry is out. So I don't think Clumsy Campbell/Carragher can man mark him.

Well, who else is gonna get on the end of the Zinedine Zidane's excellent through-balls when David Trezeguet is all marked-up - Sylvain Wiltord!? :P
Thierry Henry is the one-man who cannot be man-marked.

I can also see why Gerard is likely to be one of our main out-standing players within the few weeks our trip to Portugal lasts, but, for me, it shouldn't be that way. If Nicky Butt isn't gonna feature in the starting eleven, Gerard's the one who should "leading the defence", if you will. But, in the last few internationals alone, he seems to be getting too-far-forward and finds himself stuck there when we become over-exposed on the counter-attack. Lampard cannot play this role. And, with our full-backs upfront also to provide the width our "freeform" midfield rarely seems to have anymore, it only gets worse.
Whatever happens, Beckham'll be all-over the 'papers anyway.
As for Rooney, I agree with you again. Even if he doesn't carry us forwards like a one-man team, the media will again be around to pull the wool over our eyes once more about this "world class talent", and, with the way things look likely to go, his wages'll be going up again anyway.
And, how many contracts will that be now, since he first turned pro...?
Three?? Four?? He seems to have a new one on the table every 6 months - £30,000-a-week for a porker barely even old enough to vote! :@
