The Official EURO 2012 thread

Congratulations to Jordan Henderson who has just won the Carlsberg "Win a Place at Euro 2012" competition.

I still cannot believe Henderson and not Lennon went to the Euros. I mean what the fudge. Is there something im not seeing with the likes of Downing and Henderson? Is it just my bias that thinks Lennon is SO MUCH better than that 40m combined waste of bricks.

Carrick would be there now if he had just swallowed his pride and went into the backup squad.

Agree on Lennon though. He should be waltzing into that squad.

 

[Intellectual]

My prediction is that they won't even make it out of the group stages.

apparently his wife has just had a kid or something, didn't want his summers plans undecided unless he knew he'd be going.

in fairness Carrick should have had the England midfield built around him along time a go, the fact he's nothing more than a bit part player at best highlights a major fault with the way English management has built their sides over the years. would rather shoe horn in ever under performing 'stars' like Gerrard and Lampard rather than build a balanced side

Belgium XI v #England Mignolet, G. Gillet, Kompany, Vertonghen, Vermaelen, Mertens, Mirallas, Witsel, Fellaini, Hazard, Dembele

 

[Rossi22]

Mertens is a very exciting player, looked better than Hazard on the few occasions I've seen him.

 

[Jordinho]

Vincent Kompany is out of the England v Belgium match after being injured in the warm-up. Simons comes into the side in his place

 

[Modric THFC]

You know its only a friendly when England don't boo the opposition's anthem.

 

[Dicko]

Is Danny Welbeck any better than Frazier Campbell?

I'm not knocking, just asking.. I hate watching Man Utd.

 

[Jordinho]

:ross: at Ox

 

[Leeds Spur]

Belgium 3/1 draw no bet.

 

[GLENROYID]

So, chamberlain got in the team but lennon didnt.

Good call, good call

 

[GLENROYID]

Wow, what a ****

 

[Jordinho]

Goal line technology being tested, but not of much use with Chamberlain's shooting.

 

[Superhudd]

What aload of brick I am watching..

 

[GLENROYID]

Epic roll by mertens there, rolled like a car!

 

[VolSpur]

was a heck of a flop by mertens there.

I was just about to say sign him up. looks a good player otherwise

 

[Jordinho]

Epic roll by mertens there, rolled like a car!

Like a natural born gooner that one.
