Got my traditional wall chart today (I realised now I only buy a news paper every two years ? just for the wall chart) I didn’t know we could play either France, Germany or Portugal in the 2nd round if we win the group ? Could be a short tournament, I really hope not!

Don't we play the winner of that group if finishing 2nd too? Time to plan a 3rd place finish?

2nd In our group means we have to play Spain, Poland, Slovakia or Sweden.......so it’ll be Sweden as always  ?

"England have won only two knockout games against World Cup or Euros-winning countries since 1966"

Some nice spreadsheets here if, like me, you think wall charts are a bit old fashioned ?

Denmark wc 2002 was probably one and that barely counts as they won euro 1992 completely unexpectedly - a bit like Greece in 2004.

We only tend to progress with favourable draws. The last time I remember us winning a really tough knockout tie was beating Belgium in italia 90.

So we're off again in a bit over 10 mins against Romania who we haven't beaten since 1970.

That sounds like a decent test for Southgates men (and young lads) - anyone seen a team sheet as i cant see one on the Beeb site...

9 changes.

Grealish, CL, Sancho and Rashford the attacking players.

I've now seen the team....Rashford captain, Mings gets a second outing with Ben White at cb.....grealish getting another run out despite needing ice or whatever on his leg, Phillips and Ward-Prowse as the midfield anchors.

Interesting.....
