r4derby Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 I predict: Hart, Johnson (totally *****), Cahill, Jagielka, Baines, Gerrard, Henderson, Rooney, Welbeck, Lallana, Sturridge I also agree with this. Which I've accepted, as long as other players such as Sterling, the Ox, Wilshere and Lambert get to see good game time in the other fixtures.

Bris Vegas Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 I can't see England doing much as we lack pace. Sturridge, Rooney and Welbeck are relatively quick, but they're not particularly excellent ball-carrying players like Arjen Robben. I fully expect England to all-but park the bus. Bodies behind the ball, keep a tight line, leave little space between defence and midfield, allow Italy to get the ball wide and when the opportunity arises, get bodies in the box for set-pieces etc. as Italy aren't particularly quick on the break.

Mafiabob Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Got a slight soft spot for Greece. Love the islands, and I have a daft tattoo in Greek.... Mind you that was soft defending from Greece then 1-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting though that in that fantastic Dutch performance,2 out of their 3 star players Robben and RVP both starred in the Premier League.

Sorry buddy I don't undertand the connection. Are you saying this bodes well for England? Or proof that the Premier League is an excellent league?

Shuff264 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Hodgson has said before that England dont play 4-2-3-1 so some of these team predictions might be a bit out Also, even though he his by no ways one of Englands best, Welbeck will probably start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
top 6 finish Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Both really.The latter,although excellent is a bit OTT.My point is that it depends on team selection,we can produce players of that quality if we give 'em a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
