Really looking forward to today, getting a bit nervous now though Yeah always nervous but me old mate Stella will help me out with that. 3 - 1 England incoming 👍.

That information hasn’t yet been released because for one he’s still undergoing tests in hospital to find out and secondly out of respect for his privacy. It’s not something the whole world has to know immediately. To clarify, I don’t need the diagnosis, just couldn’t really get anything more than “he collapsed” I saw on social media he was brown bread. I don’t watch the premier league so I don’t know him from Adam. I wish him the same good tidings and privacy I wish to any other human beings. Another reason not to read social media. Some idiots watching it on the box and engaging keyboard before engaging brain. Having said that, I would question if they even have brains.

Morning. Sorry to pull away from the main Erikson story, but does anyone have a nice little spreadsheet type thing, or a link to one that I can download, that has the fixtures on it and completes Group tables, who's playing who next etc, depending on you filling in the results? Know what I mean? Cheers, Bags. www.excely.com/football/uefa-euro-2021-schedule.shtmlThis one seems to do the job. Just download the excel file.

Bit nervous about todays game. A draw would not be the end of the world. Just don't loose! Expect Croatia to have a lot of the ball, especially in midfield. I just hope we don't start with seven defensive players but I do think our attacking subs will be key in this tournament and they can make a real difference.

Having had time to to digest and reflect on the Eriksen incident, I feel sorry for Jonathan Pearce and Martin Keown who were left as sacrificial lambs by the BBC. How you can commentate on a situation which could well have had tragic consequences is beyond me. The BBC should have cut away to the studio the moment the situation became critical - nobody wants to see live pictures of CPR being administered and his wife in tears. I found the whole thing difficult to watch and had to change channels.
We are all aware of JP's footballing allegiance but putting that aside I thought he did remarkably well in the circumstances - and the studio team unsurprisingly seemed to be in a state of shock. Hopefully the BBC will learn from this.
So pleased Eriksen seems to have pulled through - kudos to the medical teams and all the players. Although I was slightly bemused why they decided to complete the game.

Views on the starting line up? Strange one but happy with four at the back personally.

Not sure why Sancho is not even on the bench? Would be the perfect player to bring on later in the game with the warm weather and the older Croatia players hopefully tiring. Will still have Rashford and Grealish to call upon. Maybe Saka too.

Mings at CB and Trippier LB?
Can’t say that fills me with confidence

Alongside Mings who is an awful player must be a massive worry for how we will cope defensively. Southgate has never really liked Grealish so no surprise he’s been left out. I’m going to stick to my prediction of three draws in the group stage but now wonder if I’m being over optimistic

Was listening to analysis before the game in 5Live, think they summed it up well that we have a strong squad that doesn’t know each other, whereas Croatia have a solid squad that knows each other very well - difference could be the depth in squad today
