You're one good Englishman. I would love if England reach finals; though I'm really not optimistic, ever since Hodgson was appointed. I'll be supporting them just because I've always been doing it.

It's his right to support who he wants and France doesn't look so bad.

Hmmm, maybe it was the way I said, but everyone has a reason for supporting a team whether it's because they are from there or their favourite player plays for them or whatever. I'm just curious, they weren't impressive in qualifying and recent friendly matches are not the best thing to go by.

lol thanks but I'm not that optimistic either. Just watching the two previous friendly games we had under hodgson's reign against Belgium and Norway. We didn't really impress, especially considering they were both scrappy 1-0 victories.

I never really understood England's style of play and I'm not very analytical but despite having various managers over the years; Mclaren, Capello and now Hodgson, we keep playing this type of football where we pass around in our own half and when we go into the opposing half we just somewhat long-ball it to the forward like carroll and crouch before him.

They all just seem uninspired and lack creativity when in the England shirt. The only reason we scrape wins is because of individual effort and not actual team play (like young against norway and sturridge against Belgium) realistically, we gave away so much we could have easily drawn or even lost against those two and whom are not even in the euro2012.

For the actual event. France, we probably have no chance considering they beat us in a friendly while we were in a much better state under Capello. Sweden we ALWAYS do bad against but we might scrape another win but I'm predicting a draw more than anything and I feel the same way about Ukraine.

I don't think Rooney would make much of a difference in the team once he plays in the last game because like I said before, we lack teamwork and Rooney alone can not carry a team forth to euro glory (no matter how "great" he may be). And by then, the tournament might even be over for us lol

and Hodgson brought in Henderson, Downing and Kelly. Liverpool favoritism much? considering he left out the likes of Richards. Downing I can deal with but Henderson and Kelly? Really? I'd much rather have Walker or Carrick than those two.

England's team is a mixture of aging players and inexperience with the likes of Ashley Young being one of the very few able to produce something magical.

Still, they got a nice team. The Generation 87 has finally been reuinted, there is a much better vibe among the players than in 2008 & 2010. And they have been undefeated for the last 20 matches - ever since Blanc replaced Domenech.

I'd put something on France as 4th or 5th favorite after the usual suspects - Spain, Germany and Holland.

Didn't know that, that's a quality run they have going although I am not sure on how good the teams they have been playing.

Does quality of the teams beaten, matter as much; considering even Spain lost to China. I don't say that they are invincible but it's a decent re-beginning for France.

And Alan Hanson. BBC Pundits have a flair to stay in the news though. There's the guy who made Ivanovic stunned after Camp Nou qualification, there's Gary Neville's orgasm and now this. xd
