It's things like this that show you why players might opt for Wales over England!
It'll be interesting to see how well this article ages, as well...

All the major national football teams are weighed down with expectation though.

3-0 to England the last time the two met and it was only a few months ago.

If they allow there talented players to play he's probably right , however there's fear and running into a real class act in France or us :wales:, other than that they could very well .

Don't think this Germany team is very good and I could see them beating Germany with home advance England France final for me but I think it will be more difficult for France with them possibly having to beat Italy and Spain or Belgium to get there.

Definitely harder for any one team on the other side of the draw to make the final. At a guess - I imagine the odds on England getting there are shorter than they are for any other team at the moment. Having said that - I imagine that in the final, the favourite will almost certainly come from the other side of the draw.

Good on him.
When you consider France, Belgium, Italy, Portugal and Spain are in the other half of the draw, England will never have a better chance of reaching the final. Just got everything crossed that it doesn't happen !
Didn't Rio say the same about Iceland in the last one.
Someone should ask him how did that go for England?

Last time around we were apparently on the weaker side of the draw yet Portugal won it.

You would think that they would learn by now it always ends in tears. As a standard bearer for wiping the smugness off their chops, you would be hard pressed to top the Iceland game.
