Who is this guy? Never heard of him
A promising young Liverpool defender :p

I can't think of anyone else who could replace Cahill ... well Richards could but he didn't want to be on the stand-by list (he shouldn't be.. he should have been in the first squad announced..)... and Ferdinand is a no no due to Terry :/

what criteria are these players being selected on??????? 6 players in the England squad now from a team that struggled all season. none of them should be in the squad on merit, shocking choices.

"Martin Kelly made 18 more successful tackles (42) than Gary Cahill (24) in 17 FEWER PL apps last season."

I want this England squad to fail so badly.

Martin FUCKING Kelly? I half expected Jay Spearing tbh.

Must be something wrong.

Pearce picks Richards
Capello and Hodgson don't.

It ain't right.

According to Hodgson it was either Phil Jones or Micah Richards.. and Richards didn't want to be on the standby list ;/

I seriously don't hope for any Dutch fans that they actually expect any thing like that. (even though it did give me a good laugh)
No dout they're favorits, but it would be a sensation if Denmark were to loose with 4 goals.

It will be a great game either way. At least being in the group of death guarantees you some quality matches. If you do get out of it it will be a heroic achievement!

It will be easier to win the trophy, than to advance through that group.
But people still (as usual) underestimate Denmark. I dont see Denmark as the weakest team in that group.
imho that would be Portugal. And none of those teams are unbeatable for a danish team at it's best.

Kidding aside though I expect soemthing along the line of a 2-0 or 2-1 defeat to Holland, but a draw is also not unlikely
depends on how the game progesses, and how much Holland are willing to risk if it's still 0-0 after 75-80 mins. If they go all out
they could end up loosing 0-1 to Denmark, but somehow I dont think they'd be that stupid. so Denmarks chances imo lye with an early
gaol, which would put preasure on Holland which in turn would leave open doors at the back to sneak in a second.

Portugal v Denmark will be interesting. but for Portugal it all seems to depend on the performance of a select few (Nani & Ronaldo) and Pepe not having any melt downs.

As for Germany, who knows tbh. depends if they've done their job prior to the Denmark match, but even a B-side german team is a force to be feared by Denmark and
tbh reserves will have more insentive and more to play for and thus be more agressive then the starting 11. so dono what to make of it.

But anyway the team i think we're most likely to draw is Holland, the Team we're most likely to beat is Portugal and the Team we're most likely to loose to is Germany.

I honestly think Portugal are going to crash and burn badly in that group and come out bottom. Holland and Germany are both better teams than Portugal and Denmark are used to grinding tough results whereas Portugal arent.

If Poland can get 3 goals in on Greece, we might as well hand them the trophy :p
