Alan Shearer: Why there is nothing to be scared of for England in the knockout stages

[NYCBlue]

its what you do on the pitch , the English team is full of premiership ponces

Last time we played England we were more than a match for them and were beaten by a very late goal

Bollocks to England

If we play them and get well beaten they can still shove it

They ****ing battered us in the second half.

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 , 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.
