Dam I missed lallana birthday! Shame!
Delph is clearly a back up. Canāt see him making the 23 man squad. Woy has pretty much already said Rashford wonāt be going.
Canāt really decide who else will get the axe. Canāt be a GK, and it would seem odd to cut a defender, leaving only 6. I guess Dier would be seen as an extra defender?
Donāt agree with Townsend, Wiltshire or Delphā¦ Oh and Smalling is shite. How does he get so many caps, oh hold on, he plays for Man U.

Rashford born 1997ā¦ God I feel old. He was born after Euro 96!
Bertrand should be nailed on left back, in my honest and impartial opinion.

Yup, I would love an England Manager who had the balls to play a team from other clubs. Prime example was SRL . Against the backdrop of disinterested prima donnas he was desparate to play for his country . INternational used to be the pinnacle of football, for all sorts of reasons it feels like a side show now

Think thatās a tad harsh on Smalling, heās improved massively the past couple of seasons. Probably first choice CB now. Granted, he isnāt up to the level we have come to expect in recent years. Not really sure who you would pick ahead of him.
Iām not Townsendās biggest fan by any means, by he has been red hot lately. Everything he touches seeems to be coming off. Again, not really sure who would have been a better pick. Plus, he has performed for Woy before. Not remotely surprising.
Delph is there as a back up.
Weāve got some decent prospects coming through, but still not a great deal of depth. Thereās not really many people I think she be in that squad that arenāt.
Those that have missed out are probably marginal. Noble? I dunno, heās played more this year but is he better than Dier, Wilshere, Alli, Barkley? Iād say no. Probably on a par(ish) with Drinkwater, who has helped propel his team to the title.
Cresswell? Again, probably isnāt miles better than Rose or Bertrand. Both of whom have some international experience.
Carroll? Defoe? Both in form, arguments to be made for both I guess. But neither have really shone for England in the past, and would have taken a monumental effort to dislodge Kane/Vardy/Sturridge & Rooney is the captain. Of course heās going.
Ha I forgot about Antonio tbh.
Remember the derision aimied at anyone that suggest he might be a player, over there?
Must admit, I didnāt think heād come on the way he has done. Fair play to him, heās been pretty effective this season. Particularly the second half.
Smalling is nailed on to give penalties away.
Starting line up of:
Hart
Walker Cahill Smalling Rose
Dier Alli Henderson
Lallana Rooney Kane
Feel Bertrand may get a chance but we look dodgy defensively.
EURO 2016 DRINKING GAME
Rooney gives the ball away following a poor touch
Townsend dribbles head-down for 10 yards, and shoots over
Smalling concedes a penalty
Joe Hart fucks up, and points accusingly at Cahill
Walker and Rose caught out of position
Wilshere goes down injured
Henderson & Milner do nothing of note
Alli sent off.

I donāt think Bertrand will get a game, because Roy can be a bit of a bellend at times. He says he wonāt pick players based on form (which is stupid in itself) and then picks Rashford. So, heāll pick form players if they play for a big club.
Delph wonāt make the cut but shouldnāt even be in the 26. Only there as he plays for City.
