Subject: UEFA Euro 2016

Northern Ireland is going to lose big time against Germany and Poland :D

A great polish player ADRIAN Mierzejewski was not nominated in the 27-man wide Poland squad yesterday, today he scored from a free-kick, his 10th goal of the season in Saudi League. A huge pity... :-(

It's the risk of playing in unknown leagues.

I bet Gameiro thinks so as well :p

A least I am not the only one who thinks that way... maybe... still its odd... as the current squad lacks experienced & strong creative players... Mączyński, Starzyński, Kapustka.. are all young, but much weaker that Mierzejewski who is at his prime... Polish coach Nawałka, picked only 7 players out of the 23 who played at the Euro2012, four years ago. How does it look in nations you support?

cant support any team that features wayne rooney.. so im going to be fololwing iceland i think

Italy squad seems really weird, yes, a lot of in form and young players, I believe. I don't watch Serie A that closely, but it seems that I know about 6-7 quality players in the list.

No Donnarumma. :-(

Crazy squad, only defense is really tricky if you ask me :)

Winning squad

Donnarumma is a little overrated, he does not give enough confidence to his defense; squad is lacking in midfield and attack, only defense is good; clearly we will play with 352/532; midfield is particularly suffering Marchisio and Verratti absence, Montolivo and Thiago Motta still keep their place, maybe there is no one better to call, Parolo didn't have a great season too, and why Benassi? In defence Tonelli should have had a chance too; in attack, why Immobile and not Belotti? Eder is a mistery too, terrible second half of the season; overall seems to be the worst area, with no apparent big-names;

usually we do good when we are hugely underestimated, maybe this will be the case too.

Think so ;/

nedherland should has guus hiddink as head coach. i am sure he can take nedherland to the euro in the next edition.

I think the Netherlands have a more serious problem, not enough trained players to replace the older star players. I expect a better team in a couple of years, if the talented players make it to the too rich (football-destroying) CL teams.

This is what is happening with football:

Amount of different countries reaching the champions league semi-finals through the decades.

Hmmmm the future does not look very good for Nedherland, it's a shame, certainly one of the greatest teams of all times :-/

Put all your money on France they have won it b4 it starts.
