I think we'll draw against Russia and Wales and beat Slovakia.
Then beat a fairly poor side in the next round, then play someone half-decent and get beaten. So, I went for two!
There's definitely goals in the squad we're taking, but our defence is average at best and if the recent friendlies are anything to go by then Kane and Vardy will spend more time tracking back down the wings than having an impact on the game high up the pitch.
Rooney will also be shoehorned in and other players won't be played in their best positions to accommodate him.

Some decent players there but too many square pegs in round holes and a dinosaur in charge. I think we'll scrape through the group and get knocked out against the first decent side we come up against. I agree but I think we'll win the 3 group games and really build the hype... Then get knocked out by the first half good team we play, on penalties

I've been having some weird dreams lately. We are going to win it. 50 year anniversary etc. Think we will just do enough at each stage, steadily improving as we go. On our day we can beat anyone. Maybe I should ease up on the cheese, did a 2kg block last week.

So the overly pessimistic and the overly confident have been the first casualties...a good eleven of you I think.....want to hold your hand up ? Will tomorrow's game eliminate a few more ?

If he sticks with Sturridge, Vardy and Rashford we'll win it.

I was a zero. I lowered my expectations as low as a slug, so a win and a draw is great.

Ok...so give me some time whilst I add up all the England victories.....ok.....one...plus.....oh that's it.....one...one...one....how many is one (in a sesame street stylee)
I guessed three so was far to optimistic........blinking ridiculous thinking England could win knock out games.
