Euro 2012

Poland will probably go far this tournament. They've got Szcezney in goal.

No Germany are a sure bet. Spain are without Puyol.

and more importantly without torres

Spain won the World Cup without Torres. He was in the squad but didn't really feature.

It's Brazil or Argentina for the taking this year.

^^He was there for moral support.

England's fourth best goalkeeper has never played above League Two level

(Alright, I know the position of standby goalkeeper isn't that important and they probably just gave it to some young 'un who'll be excited by it and won't get a game anyway, so the better keepers can go on holiday and get pissed in Warsaw, but still)

Every change of manager I think 'here it comes, a fresh start, maybe I can get behind England for once', but then they keep picking Terry, or praising Franco, and you have to go back to explaining to Germans why you really don't care that they're beating you 4-1, and that you actually want them to win the tournament.

Also, who wouldn't be surprised if it turned out that no-necked Ukrainian Nazi was actually from Luton, or Burnley, or County Durham? England and England fans can fuck right off.

Ireland to do a Greece.

We are still talking about the economy, right?

So, Lewandowski a shoe in for top scorer at 33-1.

Jordan Henderson has been added to the England squad.I've sent the FA an email to tell them I have no holiday plans for the middle two weeks of June, I've always wanted to go to Krakow.

Maybe they needed him to carry some bags or something.

is it over yet

Rio's not going, so who needed a drugs mule?

It's shit

On what planet is Jordan Henderson better than Leon Osman?

This one.

The Blue Planet?

England's only hope in the past has been to pray that team spirit and heart would pull them through playing against technically better opposition. Now they haven't even got that. It rarely came close to doing so anyway, and when it did, luck didn't go their way.

Poland at home to Russia and then potentially Germany in the last eight. I'm looking forward to watching the highlights on Newsnight.

I'm sure there will be some interesting the shaky camera phone footage on youtube as well.

Lampard is out.

Clive will be pleased.

At least he gets to spend the summer yentzing that orange woman who makes you wish you were deaf.

Has anyone phoned Paul Gascoigne?

Why? Is there some loony toon in the squad that's in dire need of a bucket of KFC, 6 pack of lager and a fishing rod?

It was a kebab actually.
