TBH Tim I'm very tempted to lump on that, but ATM Skybet only has odds on us to finish 3rd at 5/1 and 4th at 10/1.
Anyone who genuinely thinks we have a cats in hells chance of winning this is deluded. RH has taken us back years..and we were well behind then.
Edit 6-1 to be eliminated at the group stage. That's one £5 free bet used..

I'll be paying the bookies a visit. Russia and Wales have too much quality. Any team that has James Milner in it will struggle.

And if Bale gets crocked by the Slovakians they're screwed!

Do you ever give it a rest. Love to meet you in person. 10/10 for effort in a wind up effort tho.

Show class, have pride, and display character.If you do, winning takes care of itself.

I'm Scottish and have pulled England out of the sweepstake I organised at work. Not funny.

Would you be upset if England won?

I refuse to answer that question on the grounds you'll be mean to me.

Don't think I'll have to worry though.

In a weird way I look forward to how the Scott's react when England get knocked out, reminds me of Mansfields inferiority problem with ourselves.

Well Wales have got Gareth Bale, and the rest of their team will be up for it. If England are going to struggle with the likes of Hal Robson Kanu then they really should hang their heads in shame.

If you do what you always do, you'll get what you always get.

Quality? Bale is obviously excellent. Ramsay and Williams decent premier league players. The rest are Championship cannon fodder. England SHOULD beat them 9 times out of 10 but with the dinosaur in charge, who knows.

Surely none of us thought it funny when Poland scored that late goal.

You have a point. Suppose England fans have the same complex with Germany as Scotland have with England, as Mansfield have with Chesterfield, as Chesterfield have with Sheffield clubs? Pecking order and all that.
